      Here’s a Collings I-35LC from 2011. Bought it just before having kids and haven’t bought another electric since. Kids man…what with their needing to be clothed and fed…it really eats into a guitar budget.

            Speaking of kids…I bought guitars to commemorate the birth of both my kids with the hope they would like to play someday and I could gift them a birth-year guitar down the road. But both kids, being inclined to horrific levels of obstinance, decided to be left handed piano players. Joke’s on them because now I’ll probably sell the guitars to buy more IH gear. Here is my 2011 Collings CJ35 prototype. It’s my most played and most loved guitar.

                    @LewisStonehouse  Damn, that looks really nice!  I’ve never played through a PRS amp and I’ll bet it sounds amazing.  (As an aside, I have that exact Hercules guitar stand in the background…love it)  Nice pick up!

                        Question for you guitar players… Where are you guys at on Eddie Van Halen? Top 5? Top 10? He’d be in my top 5.

                          You really got me thinking about guitarists with your last post. I love EVH and think he’s one of the greatest guitar players of all time. But my list of favorites is more a stylistic thing and not necessarily a technical proficiency thing. Here are my top ten (no order):

                          SRV
                          Tommy Emmanuel
                          Tony Rice
                          Keith Richards
                          Jimmy Page
                          Julien Lage
                          George Harrison
                          Blake Mills
                          Ry Cooder
                          Mark Knophler

                          Honorable Mention
                          Hendrix
                          Clapton
                          EVH
                          Billy Strings

                            For sure he’s in the top five. Gotta be IMHO just because of his impact on how the guitar is played. Hugely innovative and influential so that’s gotta qualify him for a pretty high spot on the list. I personally think his rhythm playing is seriously underrated.

                              I'm not a big Van Halen guy, but I do of course think he was a hugely important guitarist.

                              SKT and I def have some crossover — I'm a huge fan of Ry Cooder, and love Blake Mills and Mark Knopfler.

                              Some other faves that come immediately to mind (I'm sure there are countless others I'll wanna add):

                              Neil Young
                              Mike Campbell
                              Bill Frisell
                              Aarto Lindsay
                              Marc Ribot
                              Jonny Greenwood
                              Hubert Sumlin
                              Prince
                              Grant Green
                              Andy Gill
                              Graham Coxon
                              Jason Isbell

                              I could talk about guitars and guitarists forever haha… careful getting me started

                                  @Jett129 yes SIR! His playing sounds so springy and electric to me, really cuts.

                                    Saw Hubert Sumlin a couple of times with the Allman Bros,and they would usually do 44 Blues,but by that time he could barely play. There was a great tribute concert called Howlin for Hubert,a lot which can be found on YouTube. Speaking of the Allman Bros, Duane Allman would be in my top 5 or 10. Feel like he’s been forgotten.

                                        Duane would be on my list. Dickey too. My dad’s an Allmans nut, so I was raised on that stuff — their first album is my fave, particularly love the Beginnings mix. Don’t Want You No More into It’s Not My Cross to Bear is one of my favorite musical performances, ever. Unbelievably good.

                                          Years ago I made friends with one of the tapers at The Beacon Theater,and have tons of outrageous quality tapes from the shows. If you’d like I’d be happy to send you some.
