Players were afraid of this guitar back in the day because it was unforgiving. (35 years old now) It was completely misinterpreted. It's a screamer that does not hide what you play and does not color it. You have to own the music that comes out of this inexpensive beast. #MusicSky #Fender #GuitarSky

Feeling bored tonight so just posting a couple pics of my current active stable. #Music #MusicSky #GuitarSky #Fender #GibsonLesPaul #MartinGuitars #Rickenbacker. Think I'm picking up one of the Martin's tonight. Not sure which one(s) to put away for a while to circulate some of my other 25+ axes in.

This was the bomb. My Lexus IS350. 3" pipes. Fast as s#!t. Blew away most if not all production showroom cars that weren't exotics. It had instant torque off the line. I used to eat Mustang GT's and Camaro's and Doges for lunch. I miss it. #Lexus #CarSky They don't make this kind of car anymore. 🏎️

I fished this late 60's Gibson SG out of a garbage bin just before the garbage truck came along. It has a full head with tuners but is lacking a lot of hardware. Yes, from a garbage bin. I saw the head sticking out and had to stop. Not restored yet. #Music #MusicSky #Guitars #GuitarSky #Gibson #SG

Extremely hard to find. I bought this new back in the early 80's. Gibson Les Paul Custom shop, Maple top, Maple fret board. A screamer. #Music #MusicSky #Guitars #GuitarSky #Gibson #GibsonCustom #GibsonCustomShop. Anyone have one? My best guitar. Seriously incredible. Better than my Gibson Supreme.🎸

Don't buy one of those buckle rash protectors. $5,000.00+ guitar ruined. Repair bill was unimaginable. #Music #MusicSky #Guitars #Guitar #GuitarSky. More than $1,000.00 to fix this because some refinishing was necessary. 😩😡🎸😠💢❗The buckle rash protector cost all of 25$. Just don't wear a buckle! FCK!

Gold plated hardware, Tune-o-matic bridge. Case candy. Mint condition. #Music #MusicSky #Guitars #GuitarSky. 🎸🎶

A closer look at my 1950’s Harmony hollow body. It still plays but is delicate. Had the floating bridge professionally replicated 10 years ago or so. #Music #Guitars #Guitarsky #Guitar #Musicsky. Strings recently replaced, needs some adjusting because the bridge is slightly off. 🎸 70+ Years old. 🎸

A Ring alarm motion detector is nestled in the neck pocket that notifies me via cell phone AND calls the local police letting them know I am being robbed, if anyone comes within 15 feet of it while I am not present.😂 It's one of my treasures. I have these motion detectors all over the house. LOL! 🎸🎵

My red Route 81 brand guitar, equipped with a Roland synth pickup. Autographed by Sonny Barger, the founder of the Hells Angles, with custom autograph as requested by me that says "We stick up for our own.". #Music #Guitars #Guitarsky #Guitar #Musicsky. Better pic than the one hanging on my wall. 🎸🎸

OK, not every dish was awesome. This one reared it's ugly head every year. 😂 But I still ate it with a huge smile on my face! 😀 Not sure where it came from in her past, but it screamed to me that... 'I'm home' every year.
And the gold-wear was handed down from my grandmother/grandfather. 😀🦃🍽️❤️🤍💙🍾

My Mom put out quite the spread for Thanks Giving. All from her own cooking and dining room setup. I miss her. 😔❤️
Every dish was homemade. Every place setting was her creation. Every year was different. She worked so hard on Thanks Giving.

Monitor amps when in studio, general amps when we were on the road. Our portable but usually in studio, rack amps circa 2011:
Peavey DECA/424
Crown XTi 1000
We needed some power to divide up amongst our monitors and be portable for gigs.
State of the art in 2010. #Musicsky #Guitarsky #GarageBand

My first album cover some 25+ years ago. Self made and published. #Music #MusicSky #Guitars #GuitarSky. It had 7 tracks. We recorded it in our own studio. 96khz. I will post some of those tracks here in the future. The album was taken from the photo attached. My part is in the lower left corner. 🎸🎶🎵

😀 I did too! This is one of four Peavey 3020 HT 4-way sound system PA speakers we had, powered by 4 Peavey CS800 amps and several rack mount support devices. It's like 4 feet tall. Took two people to move. Clear, crisp, powerful. These were solid. About 200Lbs each. Dimensions: ~48" × 30" × 24"

The original #Peavey Butcher was arguably highest quality Peavey tube head ever made. I retired this one over 15 years ago ago. But price/quality ratio on this head was second to none. That's coming from someone who really does not like Peavey. #Music #MusicSky #Guitars #GuitarSky #ClassicGuitarAmps

Sorry. Just posting / re-posting I think again. See the alt text for better descriptions. My Autographed guitar wall in my media room. #Music #Guitars #Guitarsky #Guitar #Musicsky Guess I'm bored tonight. 🎸🎶🎵 I have so many more but I guess I only hang my true memories.

These are two of my 6 bowls. Wish I could figure out the dynamics and feel the control the way you do in your 'Storm Coming on the Horizon' song. Just great stuff.

Ok. Call me on it. The middle one on the right is a Behringer POWERPLAY PRO-8 HA8000, 8-channel rackmount headphone amplifier. Geese! 🤣😂😜
So the final list of the rack itself should be:
Done with this post. Should have deleted it and started from scratch.

My effects desk setup. One of several iterations. Last photo shows a list of the rack mount devices in this configuration. #Music #MusicSky #Guitars #GuitarSky #Recording #RecordingStudio #GuitarEffects. Pro Tools for the mixing. Not a million dollar setup but what was able to afford at the time. 🎸

My Fender Twin Reverb with JBLs from about early to mid 70's. Still rocks but I only use it once in a great while. Wires are getting old. #Music #MusicSky #Guitars #GuitarSky #Fender #FenderTwin #ClassicGuitarAmps. I'm lucky I grew up in an era where classic gear like this was readily available. 🎸🎶

My Danelectro ’56 U2 reissue, in the Blue/cream finish. Single-cut U2 body shape, Masonite top. Sure, it isn't a real '52 but it still rocks. I keep it in mint condition. #Music #Guitars #Guitarsky #Guitar #Musicsky. Just simple, inexpensive fun that puts out some nice tone with the right setup. 🎸
