While I am a new member here, I have been browsing this forum off and on for a long time. I've found some great info here, some interesting stories and of course...some great people.
I am mainly into surf & country. Early surf (not the newer stuff) and by country I mean stuff from the 1920s to about the Mid-70s. My other big love is instrumental guitar and steel guitar music.
I am a HUGE Joe Maphis fan and I am TOTALLY enthralled & fascinated by the big double-necks that Joe Maphis, Larry Collins and all the others played. I LOVE the look and sound of those axes...to me, that is the ultimate in style and tone. I've wanted one ever-since the first time I seen one in a photo.
I am also a huge fan of Standel amps and just about anything that Paul Bigsby made.
I have an appreciation for the Deke Dickerson Model Hallmarks and the old Univox Hi-Flyers as well. The other modern Mosrite imitations intrigue me as well...especially the Fullerton Mo-Vibes.
I look forward to learning tons of stuff here from the forum.
Happy Holidays,
Casey
