I don’t gig anymore. 20 years of playing 5 to 7 nights a week kinda burned me out. Plus, I’m not a fan of current Country, except for a few performers. I still have all my toys, about 20 guitars, and almost as many amps! 5 Teles, but I really only play the ‘91 MIJ with a late 60’s Maple neck and different pickups, and my old Strat, a ‘57 custom color,LPB. Going to start thinning the herd drastically. Shipping 2 ‘63 Shobuds to OK today, only getting one back after knee levers are added. It’s insane!!!!!!!! But when I’m gone, my Sister would hold a giant yard sale, and sell the Strat for 50 bucks, and think she got a good deal!
You’re thinning the heard?! Don’t do it! I regret selling just about every instrument we ever owned. Sounds like you’ve got some killer gear. The thought of your sister having a yard sale after you’ve stepped over to the other side makes me light headed. :^)
Could I have your sisters phone #, and would you let me know when you’re at deaths door? JUST KIDDING!! Would LOVE to have a Tele AND a Strat! Had a great Boogie Body at one time that just played like butter, and was foolish enough to trade it for a Dano (which got traded for a banjo). I try not to let any of my stringed instruments go anymore. Still have the first bass I started playing back in 83. ‘Bout killed me to wear that thing for 4+ hours at a gig. HEAVY instrument.
