I wanted to learn,learn,learn and play and play. I started buying various forms of gear and guitars to have more first hand experience with the cool things that make cool sounds.
In high school this guy had a new F-100 .
10+ years ago I bought a couple a couple of of ebay to get a nostalgic spark...well that was that...I got the bug...so a little collecting followed.
I'm doing my best to keep them all in rotation.
I just freshened my old ASATs. ( pictures on monday's LR )

I see the appeal in the Ricky , I can imagine some bite with a big round acoustic warmth on tap.
I remember a Rick bass my buddy bought for $600 in 1981 from Petosa Music (known for their accordians I hear).
I loved the slinky feel to the thin neck and finished fretboard.
My Mosrite was bought on a bit of a whim, never played on before...but this one seemed to be calling me,
I even tried to forget about it for a few days before I pulled the trigger....
....to see if I still liked it.
