This here number was sung way back yonder. My grandmother sung it, my grandmother's mother sung it, my mother's grandmother's mother's mother's grandmother sung it. Way back yonder, 500 years old. - Rev. Gary Davis introduces Children of Zion, From Blues to Gospel
I just thought that folks might list what guitars they have out and are playing in these times.
I'll start. In my livingroom I have out at the present:
1) refinished (red) early 30's parlor with cream MTS pickguard 2) 1933 Gibson L-00. black with firestripe pickguard 3) 2013 Gibson Keb Mo model 4) 2014 Martin 00-28 custom shop 5) 30's Style 1 May Bell labled American Conservatory of Music Inc. 6) late 30's Regal mini-jumbo. Body sort of like a Kalamazoo KG-11 with thicker body.
Acoustic Slide on a motley ass't of catalogue quality ladderbraced parlors - Stella, Silvertone, Kay and Supertone ... Fingerstyle on 2 Breedlove spruce tops ... Electric Slide on Airline bobkat, Epiphone Les Paul ll and Wildkat...
I rediscovered my Martin 000-16 which had been "maturing" (i.e. gathering dust) gracefully, unplayed, for the last ten years. Wow, what was I thinking neglecting to play it for so long. With the dust blown off, even with old strings on, it sounds and plays great.
We're both fully vaxed-up and looking forward to music camp in the Catskills starting July 5th for a week. The 000-16 is definitely going with me.
