Derek, a wonderful gear collection, so many cool pic's, but there is a pic of a guitar player in the middle of those photo's, who is that? transylvanian Elvis? How did that photo get in with the others?

The pic of the handsome devil-lol-standing in front of the Marshall stack is Blinkers doing, as I have said so many times before over the years that's verbatum what Joe Walsh recently declared "I'm an Analogue Man,Living in a Digital World."I have absolutely nada computer skills-just a complete Luddite.

Aw man. Nice collection. That Guild, and little Traynor (2X10?) are awesome!

Thanks guys-the op-art pickguards are from http://www.greasygroove.com/ they have a huge assortment of pickguards and other accessories-the pickguard section alone will keep you occupied for hours.If they don't carry a pickguard for your particular make or model guitar they will make up a one-off if you supply a full scale template or the original guard. I'd love to get a new guard for my old Vox Phantom XII but the old one is too warped to use for a pattern for a new one and making up a template would be next to impossible due to the large number of holes and strange angles and curves in the original.

BTW: This latest keyboard is keyboard number 4 and is my 3rd Yamaha and 2nd MIDI compatable,my old Yamaha CS-01 Mini-Synth predates the Midi development by a few years and the old mid 60s combo organ is certainly way out of the Midi years.I can't wait to get my new music room up and running so that I can get all my toys together in one spot rather than having to root around under beds and piles of other music parafernalia to get at the bit of gear that I want.

It's a pretty daunting task when I see all the hundreds of music related literature alone that I have to organize and get put up on shelves.I have Guitar Player mags from the mid 70s onward and most of Guitar World from its inception up to the point that they became more Metal/teen player oriented.Plus I have many other guitar mags and many many volumes of guitar related books and rock biographies.All of that has to be taken out of boxes and put away before I even start to plan what the final layout of the music room will be....I don't envy me...lol.

BTW,Re the Guild and Traynor: The Guild is a 1974 S-100 NB and the tiny toggle that you see is a phase/coil split.The pups are the same ones that Bernado Rico used in the earliest BC Rich guitars and it's easy to understand why because this guitar would blow any Les Paul or SG out of the water-even confirmed Les Paul addicts such as Blinkers concede that it's a Les Paul/SG slayer.The Traynor is part of the TS series that Pete Traynor spent 6 years in the mid to late 70s in order to make a S.S. amp that sounded and performed like a tube amp-he succeeded royally.The little amp is phenominal and is incredibly tubelike to the point that a doubt anyone would say it's S.S. in a blindfold test.It doesn't have a master volume as such but has a 3 position rocker switch that sets the amp at 5,10 or 15W and this works exceedingly well and really rich and thick overdrive tones are available even at the 5W setting.

Ditto on that. Mine won't likely be done until late June or July, current expenses and scheduling considered. I did a great deal of housecleaning when I relocated from NY to Florida and really had to make some hard choices about trashing a lot of the stuff that GS still has stashed in boxes. Given the enormity of info on the internet, and the plethora of information herein, I figured I could sacrifice stuff I really hadn't referred to more than very occasionally across the past 20 years. Hard choices, but space was at a premium.
