Again And again and again

It’s my used 2021 75th Anniversary Am Performer. Killer deal. Came home with me yesterday. The fiesta red Vintera Tele is gone. Too redundant. This can make those sounds, and the neck is slicker’n snot on marble!

Four presently in residence. One more coming soon. It’s endless.

Get to play with a world class fiddle player this afternoon. Taking this:

Certainly have, repeatedly. They’re like Tribles (old Star Trek episode). They breed like them. I’m always cutting back and thinning the stable. Then my GAS addiction sees “something I’ve always wanted!” At the current moment I’ve mercilessly cut it down to just two: But one on order is coming...
