Papa Posted February 4, 2022 Share Posted February 4, 2022 Hi all, happy to have found this forum, lots of interesting reading and doesn’t seem to be too nasty from what I’ve seen so far. I’m a retired guy in my early 60’s, home recording hobbyist with a 1974 ES 335, a Peavey T-40 bass, a Yamaha student grade acoustic (FG700M, nuthin’ fancy), a little Akai midi keyboard controller, a Shure SM57, a new Mac mini M1 with Logic Pro, a pair of old Roland powered monitors, and a pair of AKG K240 Mk II headphones. With this little rig I crank out my own tunes, strictly for the fun of it. The 335 is my pride and joy. It’s no ‘58 or anything, but for a guy like me it’s pretty cool to have. Looking forward to reading about and seeing everyone else’s gear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have 8 guitars plus one that needs fixed up a bit. I have a Yamaha also, it's a 12 string FG 820. Anyway, it's nice to have you hear and hope you enjoy.

Sgt. Pepper Posted February 5, 2022 Share Posted February 5, 2022 What's up? I went to Victoria for a few days on my honeymoon. I'm an acoustic guy and have guitars some are not fond of here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tx-ogre Posted February 6, 2022 Share Posted February 6, 2022 Welcome aboard Papa. I have several guitars and basses, but my ES-335 is my pride and joy too. Enjoy your stay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Papa Posted February 9, 2022 Author Share Posted February 9, 2022 Mine is a ‘74 335, nothing special in the context of this forum, but plays like dream. Have had it since ’78. I traded with a friend who I played in a cover band with. He got my Peavey T 60. Since then, this 335 has lived most of it’s life in it’s case in the closet. Since semi-retiring a couple of years ago, it’s out and played daily. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
