I've acquired a few since the last family photo, so here we go. I have more than I should, and yet, I've worked my whole life and bought guitars after all other responsibilities were met. But as you can tell, I do feel a bit embarrassed about having even a smallish collection of 16 guitars/basses.
My next acquisition willl be a double bass. Orchestra sizeeeeeeee
Thanks. Yeah, you hold on to them when you get them.
And ytes, I'd love a good old Chet Atkins Gretsch.
For years, I wanted a 335, and I'm not equating them, but my Casino does for me what the 335 would do. I almost sold it, and then I played it one day and thought, Geezers, this is a great semi-hollow. It's off the market. I could use a bit of money now, but I won't sell any of them. It'd be a quick patch and then gone.

You spotted the neck heavy SG bass. Sounds verrrry much like a Grabber, close enough to keep for when I need that sound. It'll never go live. It's a bass for recording.

The cool thing about the Casino is it's not a semi-hollow but a full hollowbody, because it doesn't have a center block. Tremendously cool guitars

Epiphone's Chinese factory is putting out better instruments than the Epiiphone was putting out a few years ago--the guitars had so much poly that they looked like a sugar encased donut. And yes, that hollow body produces some great tones. I didn't even have to switch pups. It's beautiful clean or dirty. When my hands recover, I'll play it more.
Ha ha, I figured you'd notice. It is fantastic bass. How's your new one?
Great, thanks! I love the Cavern pickup spacing. Glad you’re still loving the Euroburst, it’s a nice one
You gave me a great deal on it. It's perfect in m¥ hands. I'm knocked out b¥ how close it sounds to an orchestral instrument. That hollow bo∂¥ reall¥ works.
sorry gu¥s, t¥ping is hard. I've got terrible arthritis and tendonitis and t¥ping is grueling.
A stellar line-up of groovin' instruments... would like to see the colorized picture though, to see the finishes... as they say here in Hawaii, 'if can, can... if no can, no can"... but still...

Your wish is my command! Thanks, I love showing off my darlings.
