Taylor 314 CE - the latest, shown in photo. Recorded the new CD "Gratitude" with it. |
|
Yamaha AES 420. For $500 this sucker is pretty good. Basic solidbody that I can afford to have crunched by an airline. Tone is so-so, but peace of mind reigns when I tour with this one. |
|
Martin D-28 Circa 1967. This was the first guitar I ever heard - probably when I was in mom's belly. It ws my Dad's and he'd play for me as a kid. It is a little tough to play, not as slick as the Taylor - but a bomber in the folk strumming sense. |
|
1972 Cream Fender Telecaster. Unlike a lot of heavy 70's Fenders, this one is AWESOME. I love it. |
|
Gison ES-135, newer model, with P-100's. Great axe. I bought this amidst feedback frustration with archtops. I recorded the "Kush" and "New York Trio Project" album with this one. It is a cheapy - but it sings!!! |
|
Left - 1965 Epiphone Triumph. My favorite archtop. I recorded "Blood Sweat & Bebop" on it. Right - Jim Mapson 7 String "Jazz Standard". This was my main axe for years. Recorded "Three Souls" on it. |
|
Left - Takamine EC 132SC nylon with cutaway. Use it all th etime. Right - Dale Unger 7 String Arcthop. A fine guitar...I endorsed his stuff for a while. I played this on Mike Longo's Big Band CD "Explosion!". |
|
Dean EVO -7. I bought this as a backup for my loud 7 string gigs. |
|
Eastman El Rey. An archtop that is the solidbody size. Good for travel. |
