GUITARS!!

[AmericanBuffalo]

I like the colors of your tele! Matching headstock too, nice. I love your PRS! That color is the exact color I used for the quilted explorer I built yes inspired by Santana's PRS. You apparently like thick necks. Everybody has their preferences. Nice guitars! Are you a working musician?

The matching headstock was the deal for me, don’t see too many of them and sea foam green is just killer! It’s just one of those regular tele’s that every year they do a run differently and that year it jumped out for me

As for the PRS, its so good I got rid of the an old LP as I never used it after. The pups on it are impressive 

Thank god I’m not a working musician, I would have been destitute the last few years due to no gigging 

I have a 9 to 5 job like most musicians, I’m just a few years younger than you and have played and been in cover bands since I was a teenager

I had to laugh last year in a shop when the lady serving who obviously assumed i made a living from music after seeing me play in bands was surprised when I said like most musicians thats just for fun but doesn’t pay the big bills!

At least things have improved and the pub gig circuit should be gagging for live music again, will be time to assemble and earn good beer money

Once you find a guitar that feels right its hard to gontonanother guitar. I understand about no money playing out. Musicians have been making the same amount for years. Typically not enough to live off. I get it. I spent most off the 90's playing in a couple bands, did some touring and have worked the backline as a tech. Lucky for me I had a couple of well paying gigs which I banked. I left that life in 98 got married and settled down. My late wife and father urged me to go back to building/fixing/restoring guitars. So I did for about 5 years until the economy collapsed and I had to close the shop.
