McCarty burst I think. Rosewood fretboard and outline birds (rather than solid), which are a little less OTT. The back is as nice as the front

And here's another semi that I think deserves a photo posted.

It is a Taylor T3 custom order, with mini-humbuckers. (They never released a model like this.)


This guitar has the best Bigsby trem setup I've ever encountered. The action is a bit stiffer than usual and the bridge has rollers. It stays in tune beautifully and is very smooth.

Has been posted before but here’s my Dad’s all original 1977 ES355. It’s never even been refretted but that could be because he played .008’s for years. I’m heading back to see my folks in April so looking forward to having the chance to play it again, it’s a gorgeous guitar :D

This slipped under my radar! Stunning. Also nice to see another BTO Taylor on the forum.

Would you like me to send you an inventory update :-)

That is a joke, just to be clear. I have not been buying and selling so much over the last 2-3 years, in part because I have not been able to get to the USA.

Yup, mine was not a joke, but merely thinking out loud :D

I'm spraying a semi-hollow at present. Hopefully have some pics in a couple of weeks!

Not spraying weather, not replacing windows weather and apparently not fixing drains weather. I need to spray my windscreen surround too so definitely not that.
So, is that low alcohol or no alcohol at all? mmmm, no alcohol, do you want to try it? Noooooooooo.

My garage is a balmy 24 degrees at 70% humidity. It's as good as it gets in Northland.
