Audio demo time ⏲️
This was guitar of the week a while back. Stunning looks and great playing guitar! The Epiphone Futura V. So much guitar for the money. I have 2 in the Futura line and I recommend them! There's gotta be a style that fits you. Enjoy and thanks for watching.
Mystery riff?
Guitar of the week #37
It's acoustic month!
Here is my GD21CE SM, is an electric/acoustic steel-string guitar from Takamine's G Series, featuring an aesthetic inspired by the brand's 1980s heritage. (I actually just sold it!)
Great playing and sounding guitar with a definite nod to their 80s stylings. Spruce top, Sapele sides and mahogany neck. Very bright, but full sound unplugged. Plugged in? Excellent electronics and warm sounding thru the PA or an amp. Brand new they'll run you about $700. Great quality without breaking your bank account. Highly recommended. This one is in satin molass . Beautiful finish.
Thanks for looking – at Myrtle Beach, SC

Guitar of the week #36
My Wechter Pathmaker acoustic/electric
1st, a little history-
Wechter Guitars was founded in MI by American luthier Abraham Wechter, who trained with luthier Richard Schneider and spent nearly a decade working as a designer and model maker for Gibson. He eventually moved his production overseas. His guitars have been played by prominent artists including John Denver, Al Di Meola, Steve Howe, and jazz fusion guitarist John McLaughlin (for whom he built the famous scalloped-fingerboard Shakti guitar). This particular model is known as the Pathmaker & his most famous acoustic design. A rare acoustic featuring a double-cutaway construction that grants full access high up the neck (17 to 19 frets clear of the body). Early USA-made models featured woods like spruce tops with maple back and sides. Wechter utilized various Fishman systems such as the Presys+ (equipped on this particular guitar). Playing-wise, it's hard to describe. It plays a little like an electric, smooth feel, able to play leads and intricate runs but has that amazing, full-bodied acoustic sound as well. The electronics really help this guitar shine when plugged in. The tone shaping is incredible. It's abolity to overcome the harshness and deficiencies often found when you "plug in" is nearly unmatched in an acoustic. Has to be one of my favorites in this category or type of instrument. The feel is unmistakable and flows incredibly well. Perhaps an audio demo coming? This month it is all acoustics, so...why not?!?!?
Thanks for looking. – at Myrtle Beach, SC

Audio demo! It's been awhile...but here goes
The Washburn PS10 Starfire. Great, fun guitar. I like it 😎
Guitar of the week #35
My Washburn PS10 Starfire. This was an affordable, production-line signature guitar released in late 2012, designed in collaboration with KISS co-founder Paul Stanley. It serves as the accessible counterpart to the high-end, U.S.A. Custom Shop Washburn PS2012. I couldn't afford the custom shop "Time Traveler " 😒
This is actually a great guitar and on par with the later Epiphone Firebirds. Body: Solid mahogany with a carved, raised center profile, inspired by classic offset/Firebird body shapes. Neck: Fast-playing set mahogany neck. Fingerboard: Bound ebony fingerboard with 22 jumbo frets. With Washburn Mini humbuckers. However, I did splurge for the upgraded Lollar minis. What a difference! Great playing and sounding guitar with fun KISS vibes. Brand new, they ran about a grand, retail. As I said...pretty close to the Epi in price and quality. She's a stunner in the looks department! Thanks for looking 😎 – at Myrtle Beach, SC

I don’t usually take to social media for these deeply personal matters…but, I only have one account anywhere and wanted to share this.
My baby sister slipped away after a short battle with cancer, and I already miss her. I know she’s no longer suffering. Now….we are. See you later Shannah-Boo. I love you and your niece loves you. 🙏✝️💔

Guitar of the week #34
My 1999 Peavey Firenza P90. This a USA-made electric guitar produced from 1998 to 2000 & designed by Jim DeCola. They were built in the Leakesville/Meridian, Mississippi factory alongside the Peavey Wolfgang. Solid mahogany body, this one finished in a transparent red. The P90 pickups are Gotoh V90s and offer a warm, touch-sensitive, gritty mid-range that sits between a fatter Fender single-coil and a traditional Gibson humbucker, making them well-suited for blues, rock, and punk. They're wired for hum canceling in middle position. This thing punches well above its original MSRP. Which was $700 when new. Another fabulous sleeper from Peavey! Last picture is my 1996-ish Firenza Axe. These guitars actually share similar qualities with their big brother, the Wolfgang. Also made in that same plant in Meridian. – at Myrtle Beach, SC
