I got bored this morning so I figured I'd revive this thread with some pictures.

That Fender on top has some serious rashes on it, but I bet it sounds great!

Very nice, both watches and guitars

How old are the Fenders?

I think they're relatively new. The one on top looks like a Road Worn Strat.

I like to use Water Buffalo Horn pick, I find I get better tone that using a Rolex...

FWIW, I don't know how many guitars and ukes I've got as I've never set-up a spread sheet with them all. Here is a Gibson and a Martin that are most accessible at the moment. Also a Rolex that is also most accessible. Oh and a Water Buffalo Horn Pick.

Ratty - The sunburst is a 1960 and the white one is a 1965.

Is the pickguard on the '60 original, as the screw placement seems to be the post mid '63 configuration when they moved the screw midway between the neck and middle pickups to adjacent the middle pickup?

Good call - That's a replacement pickguard by Chandler that I put on about 20 years ago. The original is 1 ply and was cracking. I bought that guitar to play and wasn't worried about another screw in the body.

Is this one of the replicas from a few years ago or one you painstakingly assembled yourself? Either way, I'm jealous.

I'll have to make some new pictures of guitars with my recently acquired GMT, but I can't pass this opportunity to post these...





Another Blackdog Custom, a 1958 Korina V replica.

Not a musical bone in my body, but for the enemy, am a regular guest in the Hotel in Memphis opposite the Gibson factory. Only hotel I have ever checked into where you can "loan a guitar" during your stay.

Hard Rock Chicago offers loaners, too. It may be the whole chain, actually.
