Besides playing with firearms, my other passion is playing the guitar.
Here are a few of my git-fiddles and amplifiers.

I had these two custom built as a WWII tribute to my Grandfather.

VERY NICE Collection
I played an acoustic years and years ago. Haven't picked one up in probably 25 years.
Tried to teach myself to play when I was a teenager, never really followed through with it.
Always wanted a Telecaster, don't know why, just always liked them.
I played some acustic guitar back in jr high as my instrument of choice. Learned to play, "Paperback Writer" for my test. I don't think I made a good grade...
Captain. I started when I was 10, 47 years ago. Mostly acoustic although I did get a Tele a few years ago. At the moment I own the Fender, one Taylor, a Martin D-40, two JW Gallaghers from Tennessee and one from Bill Collings in Austin, TX. The fingers are getting older and less nimble but I still enjoy it and try to play every day. I'll get some photos up in a few days.
Nice Axes, really nice Marshall Stack. I played back in the 70s,, in a couple of local bands, opened for a few big acts. Had a Gibson EB-3 Custom L-H Bass and a Sunn 200SL with twin Bottoms. Nowadays, I just bang around on an Epiphone(Gibson) AJ-18SL Drednaught. Don't play as much as I should though.
I used to strum a few songs a long time ago. Have not picked up a guitar in years. I just reciently came across a picture of me playing on stage at age 16 in High School .Should be good for a laugh. Damn Hippies!

Gunner, they had electricity when you were in high school?
Bill
We used a handcrank generator. Not too long after electricity we got flush toilets $toilet$ and indoor running water.:DQuote:

Here's my cousin fondling my Fender D-5. The plank's name is Gabby because she was bought with overtime money from Tropical Storm Gabriel.

I specialize in drunken campfire ballads.
The crowd favorites are,
Spider Island
Screwed by an Evinrude
Waiting for the Captain
I am a Pirate
Along with several covers.
Today is Les Paul’s birthday, hence Google’s home page graphics. You can actually strum the strings.
Very nice! Those are worth a few bucks now. A Fender Mustang and a Les Paul Custom.

Simply awestruck by that particular performance! Our Daughter plays Cello in the high school Orchestra and was equally impressed with Joe's work, and asked for a "git-fiddle" as was described earlier; I found a way to finance the purchase and lessons for her. Our little girl has Soul, who knew?

I "play" an Epiphone accoustic. Just for my own pain. I had a real idiot for a teacher, me.
I love Bonamassa. I think I'm going to check him out in concert this summer.Quote:
