Excellent hat there DD, but that mando is a little gem. Good on you for bringing it back to life!

Thanks humanshoes! I couldn't leave it laying there!

Great looking box, Dd. Dig the Florentine cutaway. Too hot here as well and so damn humid you cant keep one tuned.

Thanks Bama, it is dry here, but still too hot. Supposed to cool off to 102° tomorrow.

All this mandolin talk. I couldn't help myself. Love the intro on this.

Yeah!

My 7xCB with St George. This was a very extravagant gift from my father for my tenth birthday. I had been plunking away at a throw away guitar that my dad picked up. He offered to buy me a better guitar for my birthday, and knew a small shop that sold used guitars. I had picked out a used guitar, when the shop owner started playing this one like Joe Maphis. I couldn't believe it when my dad asked if I would rather have this new guitar! I haven't played it in a long time, but I won't part with it.

I love the images in this thread. May have to borrow a better camera and get a moody shot of my favorite lid artistically situated on one of my drum kits. You folks have inspired me!

That headstock is a work of art in its own right. I like that.

You're right about that, HJ. That whole nut and tuner set-up is something.

 

[RossRYoung]

That truss rod cover is interesting, never seen one like that. Love the triple pickup.

Thanks guys for the nice words about my guitar. I have the shaker bar for it but the knurled bolt broke. I need to put it back on.
Here is my Resistol Waco with Appalachian lap dulcimer. I built the dulcimer from a kit 32 years ago. It taught me that I am not a luthier.

Cool story Ed. I have a similar story but it was a bicycle. Dad had just sold cattle and we went to town to the local Western Auto store (my favorite store in town). I had been riding an old Schwinn hand me down bike. We go into the WA and dad looks at me and tells me to pick out a bike. I couldn't believe it! Chose a Schwinn Sting Ray, purple, high handle bars, banana seat, Slick back tire. $50.00 which was pricey in 1967-68 somewhere in there. A great memory. We were lucky.

This isn't my bike but it looked just like this one. Sorry for forcing this into the musical instruments thread.
