Some fun pics of my guitars...    It would be nice to see other pics of the shapes and textures of stringed instruments.

Im not a big Gretsch fan.  To me they're clunky and are prone to feeback problems.  Some of those guitars have been around the world with me a few times.  Iv been playing since the late 70's.  Professionally from the early 80's until the late 90's.

Johnny -

 

Of the 13 guitars which I've owned (Mostly I'd sell one to get the next), my only electric was a Gretsch double pick-up anniversary model with Bixby tail piece - I bought it circa1959.  I'm down to just guitar #10 and guitar #13.  #10 was one of the two guitars I took with me in the summer of '64 driving around North America with my best friend, singing for our supper.  We both ;lost weight.

 

The Stones case of guitars was at a Stones exhibit in the Chelsea section of Manhattan about a year or two ago.  You can see more on our site (www.barbara-and-stu.com) in Photo Galeries > Neww York > Concerts & Shows.

 

And re: guitar/fish:  :D  :D :D

Are the Jack Daniels and Camels a pre-requisite for making the most of the guitar?

 

 

Ha!.  They are my weak props.  I should have done the guitars more justice but I was in too much of a hurry.  On the rare occasion I have an audience, they say Mr. Daniels is their prerequisite for having to listen.
