Applause strat... 80's or early 90's. Awesome axe

'50s Les Paul TV (previously my dad's). Heavy as a son-of-a-gun, but it was a loud rock&roll guitar!

I had a 1974 Rickenbacker 4001 Bass. It had that cool Chris Squire look. Unfortunately, it always cut out due to a loose connection in the jack. I had it repaired three times, but it never got fixed. I sold it a few months back and bought my Stingray. I am much happier now.

My '82 62RI JV Fender Squire. Still have it. First Year of production for the Fender Squire. Needs a damn good set-up. Fantastic guitar and probably the reason I love the Luke so much. Very slim neck.

My oldest electric (not counting my '42 Rickenbacher lap steel...which I still have) was a '55 Les Paul Junior (single cut 'burst).

My oldest acoustic was a '35 Gibson L-50.

I sold both of those when moving from the UK to Canada in '97 as I didn't want to see them lost or damaged in transit......everything that I did ship over arrived safely....OF COURSE!!!!
