A loan from a generous friend

Jim, generous indeed! Do you have room for it?

Jim,

 I understand and agree .
 I can always find room for one more guitar, but the wife says we don't,  so a rule was made, one guitar in one guitar out, so I'm only allowed 7 guitars.

Garland,

I would really like to be one of those people that have one guitar, and play it for years and years, unfortunately I'm not, haven't counted but wouldn't be surprised if I haven't had 10 or more this year alone, and it's not the end of the year yet.
For me personally one Acoustic and one Electric guitar should be all I need.
Think the problem is I just plain and simply like guitars as much as trying to play them.

I do like arch tops Derick.  I have owned 3 and learned my first three chords on an arch top of my brother's.  I currently own none.
My first electric guitar was a Gibson ES175 that I bought used circa 1967.  Here it is 45 years ago.  That's my late little brother Dave playing the Yamaha.


My second arch top was an Epiphone Emperor that I bought around the turn of the century and later sold to brother Dave.  This is a wedding gig in Peterborough.


This is a Gretsch that I later trade to my buddy George for a hand made ukulele.



I forgot about this S.S. Stewart that was given to me by Grandpa Charlie.  It is no longer playable, but is still in my attic.  



This Hofner is the same model as my brother Bob's that I learned my first chords on and played in The Rovers Three circa 1960.

This is a photo of the last arch top guitar I had, about two years ago, I think.
