Great to have you here - a warm welcome to you! Nice gear you have.
Which guitar and amp of yours is your favorite right now?
Hi all.
I've gotten a few request from various people for sound clips and photos of my gear, so I was looking for a public place to post them. The Fret looks fun and friendly, so here I am am...and glad to be here.
About me: I've been a "paraprofessional" player in the Denver area for about 20 years. I toured with a country band for a couple of years, play musical theater and corporate pickup gigs, have a jazz project based around a (great) steel guitar player, have fronted various blues and rock combos, play solo Chetish stuff and generally try to make a go of it playing what I can where I can.
Instead of getting a Ferrari for my midlife crisis, I gave myself permission to go into debt for whatever guitars and amps caught my fancy - including custom Gibsons and Fenders, a custom Grosh ElectraJet, 50th Anniversary Gretsch 6120, that sorta stuff. I also have Tone King, Dr. Z and Allen 1x12 combo amps (no 4x12 cabs for me; I don't have roadies).
I'll be lurking around your posts and posting when I think I might have something useful to say. See ya!

The Law of Gravity is nonsense. No such law exists. If I think I float, and you think I float, then it happens.

Re: Favorite Gear
I don't really have favorites. I just try to find the right combination for whatever gig I'm doing, and I look for opportunities to use everything I have. It's a real chore to try to decide which of my really cool guitars and amps to take out on a given day. The world would be a happy place is we all had problems like that.
Highlights: Chambered '57 Les Paul Reissue in Brunswick Blue sparkle with Fralin P-92s. Dr. Z Maz38 Sr. with Weber Blue Dog 12". Taylor Doyle Dykes Anniversary acoustic. Roscoe Beck IV bass. (I met Roscoe at a clinic here. He'd played this bass and really liked it. He was going to recommend it to Tommy Shannon of Double Trouble, but I bought it instead. What was Tommy gonna do with it anyway? Play it all over the world with scads of famous people? Nah...)

Yeah...that can be a concern, but I try not to worry about it. If I'm gonna have it, by god, I'm gonna use it...otherwise the investment has no payoff. Plus, I have a couple of "anywhere" guitars that I toured with and are already well into the "relic-ing" process. If I don't know what I'm getting into on a gig, I'll take one of those.
Q: How many guitars is enough?
A: Just one more...

Beatles fan for sure. Yeah yeah yeah. The photo on my profile shows me playing at a big country music festival in the middle of Nebraska (Comstock). The whole time I toured with my country band, I had a set of four Beatles buttons on the strap of my G&L ASAT (still do), which always made people wonder. I'm just a rugged iconoclast, I guess.
