Rock’n’Roll!!!
65' SG Special all original in my JTM615... What a sound!
Somehow I missed this thread! I play mostly electric these days, and have been desperately trying to find a vintage strat. Here's a little acoustic thing I recorded a while back.
You got some skills! Impressive cover 😀
Speaking of obsessive collecting...(and hey, what’s that on Geddy’s wrist?).

Read this in the Globe and heard him on CBC "Q". IMPRESSIVE collector!
Wrist candy: could be a Speedy Tuesday LE #1, but the pushers look too large. I wouldn't be surprised if he has a fair watch collection to go with his basses and his wine...

I love the dig at Kiss at the end. 😉
I think everyone knew that 2015 was the last tour. Glad I was at the ACC in TO on that tour to see them one final time...
I recall going through various DVD's at one point looking at Geddy's watches. Pretty sure I've spotted a Breguet on his wrist at one point, so not clear what the watch is that he has on, but he clearly likes watches.
I collect Guitars, mostly vintage and rocknroll autographed, but this one I thought was cool, and strangely...it seemed to strike a chord in me that it looked familiar.
You may know I'm also a bit a vintage firearm collector as well, so I love beautiful wood stocks, and therefore beautiful wood guitars.
I found this one at a flea market of all places, for the princely sum of $125 (back in 1997 it was $1400 in today's $$)
Birdseye Maple is one of the rarest woods, primarily because it cannot be intentionally grown in this pattern...it just happens. It's not known precisely how it happens, but when it does..the best look like below, which is absolutely magnificent.
What is particularly spectacular is that is all Birdseye Maple..front back and sides...AND its single sheet (ps:its a big deal..sheets of birdseye maple this size are unobtanium today).
So the mystery was solved when I was in Aruba last month and happened upon the Hard Rock restaurant, and back by the bathrooms, up on the wall, is this very same guitar. Then it hit me why I knew it...it is the very same model and wood choice used by Tom Petty when he was on tour in 1998 with Bob Dylan. I'm a big Tom Petty fan so follow most of what he does. Saw him play with this guitar.
