Just joined the site. I do have a Martin DM acoustic but below is my main love in music. I play five string banjo "bluegrass style." Many types of music though. Also play resonator guitar (squareneck Dobro)
My banjo stable includes a 1929 Gretch that I put a generic five string neck on, a 2003 Gibson Mastertone and a Stew-Mac "Masterclone"

A few more...
I sold my naked '70s Seville Les Paul copy last night with no dickering to the first guy to play it.
and then I spotted this Carparelli Arco on Craigslist at 1:30 a.m. while actually searching for an acoustic to replace it.
(I personally thru experience, do not to take incoming ad replies too seriously after 10pm, but I just had to express my sincere interest and at least get my foot in the door on this one)
I woke up early today and picked up this little beauty (the guitar) this morning and somehow still have change left over !
The stars were aligned.
I've played for a long time and have had a lot of old guitars over the years but they tend to come and go.
I especially love old archtops, but humidity has been a threat around here, so I sent the last one to a great home where it got the attention it deserved. I tried to get it back when she went back to blonde, but the money wasn't handy and the gent didn't want to trade for a bike.
This song about somes up my thoughts on the subject...

my #1, I play in Crossfire, our praise band.
paulownia body = superlight w/ maple cap stained black sanded and stained teal.

Some nice guitars on here! Carl that's a nice collection.
I don't have a lot of pics of mine. I play mostly classical but I do have an electric I like to fool around with. 1990 ish Ibanez 550 with some customization. Amp rig is an ADA 200 watt power amp with 2 celestian ADA cabinets. For a pre-amp I use an old Sansui power amp and a Zoom 9002 effects processor.
Here's a short riff with the Ibanez.
I have several classical guitars. This one is my nicest. It's a 2004 Kenny Hill Signature model. It has a solid spruce top on the inside and cedar on the outside with kevlar honeycomb sandwiched in between.
Here's me playing the Kenny Hill. Not one of my best performances. Tough piece of music to play.

My current project is a beater Gibson SG jr from the early 60's. It's neck has been broken in a couple places and its been sanded and routered so much it's just a waste. BUT I have 1 of the og P90s and I'm going to clad it in metal like a recent Tony Cochran guitar I saw... It will be my steampunk guitar #3. Pics soon.

A few I've made and not shown a Vox 1965 Wildcat fat single cutaway hollow body that Rick Neilson sold me when he worked at his parents Music store in Rockford Il. Also some of my hand wound pickups I am making.
