The first step is admitting you have a problem. The second step is more guitars. My/my friends’ collections, and the guitar shops I visit.

Sometimes you just want Paisley.

Throwback to @tomgibson3783's Paisley Tele build. Body made by Tom with a beautiful finish by @greatlakescustomcolour.

No one: I want a photo that perfectly encapsulates MarshallMonday, TeleTuesday, and wednESday all in one shot. But I cannot stand Gibsons.

Me: u r welcome.

1970 Marshall 2022 with 1969 Thinline Tele, Roger Rossmeisl's answer to Gibson's ES-3xx series.

I LOVE a good Telecaster Thinline. Here's an example from 1969 in custom color Canary Yellow.

Homeless no more!

I finally found a case for my 1968 ES-330, which has been case-less since I threw away the malodorous non-original case it came with!

A beauty...even under hockey arena lighting 😍

My favourite moment of the @elmiravintageguitars show was when this 1953 Gibson ES-295 showed up at the @folkwaymusic booth for appraisal.

Another "Salad" guitar.

2009 Epi 1962 Wilshire USA Reissue.

Maybe not on the same level as the Antigua Coronado, or the 90s Nighthawk, but these guitars have all the right ingredients. Why they weren't more popular?

"You don't win friends with salad" - H. Simpson, 1995.

This 1969 Antigua Fender Coronado II is one of my "salad" guitars.

But you ARE beautiful...no matter what they say!
