Traveling and sitting on the deck

[Haole Jim]

Yes, we all love our hot, sexy electrics, but when you business travel, vacation or just sit out on the deck and seranade the mosquiotes and a bottle of beer, what giutar do you keep handy?

About 6 years ago, daughter was going off to university and 'bought us each a Washburn Rover. Made-in-China mass production thing, $150 in not-bad case, but 24" scale. It probably has more miles on it than the Jeep.

Hows bout youse?

National Vintage Steel Delphi for Bottle Neck Blues, Stella 12 String for Piedmont Blues and Rag Time, Martin OOO-15 Slot Head for Finger Pickin', A couple of Gypsy Guitars for Swing and Jazz, 1939 Gretsch Archtop for Swing and Jazz, just to name a few

Wow, Thunderhead, it seems Tennessee is much more "innspiring" for outdoor playing than the rest of the forum members' locales.

Oft, 'am reticent to take a nice guitar outside...maybe should loosen up a bunch. Nice website by the way. Good on you.

Which gypsy guitars? Opinions thereon?

I've got two Gypsy Guitars, both Aria. Both Brazillian Rosewood and Spruce. A D hole 12 Fret and a 14 Fret Oval hole. Both have the authentic silver plated copperwound strings. I love them, great unique sound. Thanks for your nice comments.
