Last Fall something happened to me that has never happened before. After church service someone took my Fender Stratacoustic guitar when I was loading up the van. It broke my heart because it was given to me by my friend Larry Mutchler. Word had gotten out and that word reached another musician friend and Christian …

There are many things in life that amaze me. For example, our current political situation. But, another thing that blows my mind is some of the surprises I stumble across in the area of guitars. A friend of mine had a nobody in the family really knew much about guitars so dad was just going …

Indiana Strat

This guitar is my son Samuel’s very first. It was his birthday present and he really seemed to like it and is in fact really progressing in his learning. When I was first introduced to this guitar I was interested in maybe having a second performing guitar I could leave at the church in case …

Fullerton Strat

This guitar is one that had an alright start but quickly founds it way down the road to destruction. The guitar was easy on the eyes but that is where it ended. The sound was scratchy, the frets were sharp, and the finish was just OK. I had modified the guitar to the extreme …

I had always played on a Crate amp since I had gotten my Les Paul Custom. I really liked its efficiency and its ability to work with any type of music I was playing. At that time I had a 60w head playing through an Ampeg 4×12 cabinet. The sound was great. So, when I …

There are some names that guitar collectors seek out. Guitars like Airline, Truetone, and Silvertone which are guitars manufactured for sale in stores such as Sears and Montgomery Ward. These guitars were designations for the stores they were destined to be sold in. The new Silvertones are good quality guitars. Unlike a high percentage of …

Did I sell out? Did I give in? All along I was living in a state of decption? Why in the nearly 30 years that I have played the guitar have I always sworn that I would never play a Marshall and now break that oath? It was my proud proclamation that I would always …
