This is a 1960's Guild Starfire owned by a friend of mine who was gracious enough to let me photograph it along with some of his other guitars.

This is my Jackson guitar. It was a gift, so sadly I am just a guitar owner not a guitar player.

The noisebox won't be seeing much action today. Testing photocentric printers for the Las Vegas shoot. 1500 people to be shot and printed in real time. Calculating consumables by printing 'til the carts are exhausted, as the Canon/Epson engineers weren't a lot of help that way.
A few years ago I decided that I needed to get a 6 string as well. But I didnt just want any 6 string, I wanted a roundback because I really like the resonance that is peculiar to a round back. This Martinez also had an acoustic pick up built in so it can be amplified. It has given me more options in my repertoire than having a 12 string alone.
Gibson ES345S Sunburst Reissue purchased in 2013. Chrome Bigsby tremolo units were easily accessed in 2013 but this gold Bigsby had to be sourced from Canada. One difference between this and the original was that the jack socket was underneath (as per Les Paul) as opposed to being on the front.
This guitar was purchased with the sole intention of replicating the sound of Bill Nelson of Be-Bop Deluxe and I can assure you that it worked.

In June I traveled back to my hometown of Carlsbad. During that short jaunt I got the opportunity to take some 'environmental' portraits of my old friend & phenomenal musician, Robin Earwood of the 'Robin Scott Trio'.
We pieced the whole thing together rather quickly and shot in a small variety of locations. This particular shot comes from the last of the spots we were going to hit, and we made it there too late for the magic lighting I was hoping for. To pull in as much light as possible from what little was left I had to crank up the ISO and expose for ambient at 4000 (thank you 5DmkII) and then start to work in the speedlights.
Robin is such a natural with what he does, and so damn talented, I would be lying if I said I wasn't a bit nervous during this whole shoot. I want my photographs to be on par and deserving of the level of quality and skill of his work.

I ordered this at www.banjohut.com last Thursday, it arrived the following Monday with standard free UPS shipping. With a little bolt tightening and tuning the instrument played very well. I am used to playing an Ovation Celebrity acoustic/electric, which has much heavier heavier strings, so after getting used to this for an hour or two, playing the Ovation required MUCH more pressure to hold the tune. The banjitar is dirrent from a traditional banjo in that it has the 6-strings and neck of a standard guitar, whereas a banjo has 5 strings; the thickest of which is actually shorter and mounts to the neck of the instrument near the 3rd or 4th fret (I think).
This was a blast to play with, and the customer service at www.banjohut.com was very accomodating. However the softcase (gig bag) I received (though free) is much too large for the instrument, so I will be purchasing a hard case for safer transportation.
Try to ignore the mess in my room, these past 2 weeks I have been 'kitty-sitting' and had boxes, clothers, and furniture stacked up to give the little guy some room to walk around, but not get into trouble crawling into spaces he shouldn't be!
