[Spridgets] NO LBC -Guitars

[Robert Weeks]

Hey all,

Just to clarify, I currently own the following guitars:

Gibson Les Paul Custom w/Bigsby
Gibson ES335
Fender US Telecaster with B-Bender
Fender Mid 80's Jap-o-caster
1940s Silvertone Hollow body electric
Martin D18
Johnson Banjo
Ibanez Classical
No name lap steel
Regal Dobro

I know a thing or two about guitars and that combination of a 
lightweight tele with Lollar P90 , Lollar tele bridge and Bigsby is a 
sweet combo.

As far as Gretschs go, no offense Billy but if I got a Gretsch it would 
be the Reverend Horton Heat 6120:

I just can't see paying more for a guitar than I did for my MG. 
Especially now that I've "retired" from playing out.

I also like the idea of supporting small independent guitar builders. If 
I had the balls I'd quit my job and try my hand at that or something 
similar myself.

Robert
