Family Party!

last night i gathered all the family and gave each a turn here are the photos:
(left to right) we have 62, who is just neat to look at, but not so fun to play because the bridge moves around if you rock too hard and messes up the whole intonation, plus only a neck pickup...its jazzy.
one to the right is Walter, he's got flat wound strings on and is really the cheapest, crappiest one I have but the most fun to play, go figure.  Next is Tele, totally rockin, i love you Tele and so do my best Brad Paisley licks. Then we arrive at Whitey, who in her current form is not really good sounding, she has the best intonation and looks beautiful but i think i need to mod her out some more, she is a relic of my buckethead/hardcore metal phase....active pickups sound terrible unless you are detuned to drop Q. To the right of Whitey is Steven Palaska, the only remaining savemewalter family member, he has a lot of stickers, notice the picture of Patria and Doyle...h-a-l-a-r-i-o-u-s.  Then their is 65, the world traveler, been to Greece and China and is the best acoustic I ever played, thanks 65.  last but not least is Hummingbird, my grandpa's church guitar, he gave it to me for graduating college, I was the first to do so in my family, cool huh? any way that was last night, and it was a grand gathering, i should do it more often. i just need an electronic drum set and a bass and i can record the album I have in my head...
