He's looking very Kris Kristofferson there ... with a bit of Nick Nolte thrown in around the visage.

Great looking piece (the Gretsch) ... I've played a few and they can be fantastic instruments, but not my particular preference (I'm a Taylor acoustic guy first ... and tend towards Gibsons in electrics ... vintage ES355s being a real favorite ... although these days I mostly spend my musical meditations with a bass I had custom built by Harris Thor in N.Y., USA).

Anyway very cool photog ...

Gretsch makes a nice hollowbody Guitar.
Not so great for loud rock though. It's a full hollowbody so it feeds back at high volume.
Personally I like the semi hollow body guitars for all around playing.

I dig the Ibanez AS models for a semi hollow body.
And the AG models for full hollowbody.



If I could have anything I'd take the the very limited edition Gibson CS356 but that is over 4 grand.

Now that be an axe!!!!

I still have my Martin-headstock 1981 Takamine cut-away - built in Japan, before they headed over to South Korea. Sounds awesome plugged in.

Those pics above make me salivate...

I play my Washburn acoustic almost exclusively.
I have several electrics and they gather dust.
Of course my days of playing live are way behind me.

Sounds like we could put a Dude band together! Anyone play spoons? 

hahahaha ... not yet, but I'm sure I could learn ... either that or the saw

I played quite a bit of truant in my time does that help?

Huh! I heard they even have "truancy officers" - that must be some kind of important instrument!
