zapproximator Wrote:4 guitars!!! My dream...Yeah. Funny how that happened. I'm 74 now and up until I was about 70, I only had one - the SAME one, a Japanese classical, a 1967 Christmas present from my late father-in-law. The other three have come home since 2013. A Gypsy-style Takamine cutaway, a cheap solid-body electric and a made-in-Germany Höfner - a really pleasant nylon-string folky-guitar I couldn't resist for $20 in a Thrift Store. Well-made, maple laminate (back and sides) spruce laminate (top). All it needed for perfection was $10 and elbow-grease - new strings, clean & polish. Over the years, I've bought four guitars for others - A Fender and a (Canadian) Art & Lutherie (Godin) for my sons - a decent Yamaha for my granddaughter - and there's a Les Paul I've just put away for my grandson's 18th, in July. I may give away my low-budget ($50) electric and get myself a Les Paul, or maybe an Epiphone ES-175 to replace it.
Nice to have a bunch of guitar-pickers in the family. Gives us something to do, while makin' moonshine ...
