I know many of you like me have more than one instrument but for me no matter how many I have I seem to have a habit of picking up one more that the others when getting ready for a gig. Just curious as to which you choose and why you choose it?

My line up . .

Gibby ES-335 . . . Has to be my all time favorite as I have been messing around on her fret board (I am on my 3rd set of frets) for the past 52 years! So at this stage in my life it seems like its more sentimental reasoning for choosing this old girl over the others. Hey she’s a beautiful redhead what more can I s

Ibanez Hollow Box Artcore . . . I purchased this one the day they hit the music stores. Just fell in love with the maple finish and the very nice jazz tone, especially for the price. I play this one on every gig I get to sit on a stool, especially the dinner/background jazz gigs.

Fender Strat . . . Purchased it about three years ago until a few months ago only played it once back then, but now I can’t put it down as it just seems like all the notes and chords just seem to find my hands as if by magic . . . sure makes the Gibby jealous.

Ovation Acoustic . . . Use to play this one a lot in front of my computer arranging BIAB tunes but only a hand full of times on live gigs, mostly Cinco De Mayo gigs.

Ibanez Nylon String Classical . . . This one has taken the place of the Ovation as because of the nylon strings it is so easy to play. I also find myself bringing it out on live gigs more these days if for nothing else the sound it affords me on the Latin tunes.

2 Gibson Blues Hawks . . . These stay in their cases, as both were signed for me by the one and only BB King, I have never played either and doubt that I ever will.

Guild Acoustic . . . Also stays in it’s case and has never been played, as this one was signed for me by George Strait.

PS: BB King also signed my old Gibby but like an idiot I did not protect the signature on the pick guard and played it off the very next night . . . I am still sick over that bonehead mistake.

Merry Christmas,
