I'll change the air in your tires, cause you probably haven't done that for a while. |

My first Ovation (1983 USA Ultra) ... which is now set up for slide with a tall nut because the Urelite neck bowed beyond playability , and the 1651 Legend Limited (John Lennon reissue) from about 2005.

What a GREAT workbench! I have one that looks just like that. Rarely enough room to start a new project due to the remains of the last one I started and may or may not have finished. The only major difference is the wine glass. Mine usually has tumbler with the melted remnants of last nights Scotch.
P.S. I like your Patty Dukes |

Just saw your question.
I have about a 500k version of that photo but I don't suppose that would qualify as high-res.
I could perhaps recreate it and do high-res. |

Location: Colorado Rocky Mountains | Mark, I have something for you I'll drop off on the ride out to the PNW gathering. It is a vintage ad Fender ran in 1964/65 where some guy in highwaters (remember?) is tying down a Jazzmaster and an acoustic on the back of a Porsche on a hill overlooking the beach (looks like Santa Monica). It would look good framed above those twins. |

Brad, it's a Cayman. Basically a Boxster hardtop.
Wabbit, I mowed the lawn the next day. Just started to have to mow a couple weeks ago and now it's every week.
No, Phil, they make crappy guitar stands. They're too slippery. I don't usually have all the guitars on stands, so I didn't have enough. |

It still doesn't help me get the guitars onto the plane flying over Boise from Charlotte to Seattle, though. |

| Twins? sort of I guess... but there's 40 years between them, but they're both deep bowl balladeers... at least at the time 68/69 the 1115 was a Balladeer 12 and not yet a Pacemaker if I'm correct...
so a 68/69 shiny K1115-4 and it's grandson a brand new 2008 2771LX-4CB
The "Bad Dog" in the picture is the EA68 I just nailed on the bay with a bottom feeder bid of $500.. the wife almost killed me when I bought this one... some dings and scratches, but all in all pretty nice, and came with ohsc, JB at the mothership sent me a new knob/faceplate decal for the preamp, and it has a cracked saddle on the G string so will need another opp... but plays really nice.
