Are you talking about the post above yours? In that case, that’s RINGO!
Ringo said he knew 3 chords. That’s enough for Rock n roll hey? He actually had a nice collection of guitars that were gifts from some no hopers named John, George and Marc (TRex).
He made a pretty penny from them when he eventually auctioned them off.
Yeah. I was making a (very small) joke. I'm actually old enough to remember the announcement that the Beatles were breaking up and I once had a girlfriend whose 8-year-old son was mesmerized by the McCartney/Stevie Wonder video "Ebony & Ivory" on (almost) constant rotation on MTV.
He came running up to me, one day as I entered the door and said: "Michael! Did you know Paul McCartney was in a band before Wings?!"
Hmm, I'd like to try owning & learning a lap steel guitar--but should I get a solid body one--or one like this:

Guitar gig last night where I brought out the A-rig, not something I've been doing lately due to the longer load-in, setup, teardown, and higher cargo space needs of a separate head/cab with foot switches.
This is an early Fuchs ODS prototype from 2001, built by Andy Fuchs in his New Jersey basement using original 70's Music Man transformers, same as what Dumble used in many of his early builds..
This one's voiced around EL34 power tubes, so it's kind of a Marshall lover's Dumble.
Super responsive to dynamics with an incredible range of clean to overdrive tones.
I might just start bringing it out more often.
Seen here from a gig a while back with a 2004 Gibson CS336.

Here’s a MIM Strat with a reverse neck and bridge pickup.
It’s not a Hendrix tribute model, but a “Special Edition”. The look is mostly the same.

Technically, guitar was my first instrument starting from age 8, but I wasn't ready to learn in the traditional way at that age. But I found my own way, and when my friends were starting a band, no one had yet claimed bass--I thought it would be the most unique choice to play bass and supporting vocals.
Flash forward a long time, and I have had a 25 year professional singing career, moved into composing and conducting, and play guitar a bit more often than bass, based on the needs of my pit band and singer/songwriter gigging opportunities. I'm finally starting to get the hang of playing,
