I used to play Rock and Blues, and a bit of Country, but I'm in my 60's now.
Today I bought a new old stock S500 because I've been farting around with various partsocasters and just got tired of it all and decided I NEEDED a new guitar (with fresher notes in it).
Anyway I think it's about '06 (haven't had it apart yet). White on white alder body- narrow birds eye maple neck with fairly large frets and locking tuners.
I use a Polytone for the quiet stuff and a Tech 21 for the crunchy stuff (don't get much call for that anymore).
Retired from my day job a couple of years ago so decided to reprise my old jazz studies from College (30 years ago). Boy, has my learning curve got rounded over!
Anyway the guys I play with think I can read music
and they're a good bunch: so we have two guitars; cornet; bass; and a vocalist. Sometimes piano and drums too but not usually.
