Both of Kenny's guitars were killer, and the acoustics were as well.

John, did you happen to notice that the 4005/8 at the museum was made in 1996?!

Yeah, it was a real beauty. That bass was pictured in a Japanese Rickenbacker 'mook' on 12-strings, but there was a little more than just 12's in it..

My favorite was Gary's acoustic. Man, in addition to the tone, I could bend and vibrato like an electric guitar on it. Haven't been able to do that (to that extent) on any other acoustic I've ever played. Sounds like a wonderful acoustic, plays like an electric. Wow.

I was a little bummed that the two instruments I most wanted to see didn't appear:

a 4080 and a 5003.

Yeah, I'm sorry that I didn't bring my 4080 JG. But would someone have been brave (and stong-backed!) enough to use it during the Friday night jam? ... I guess we'll never know!

I would've played it. But as was posted earlier, I'm crazy.

Here is a photo of Graham's 362/12 FG played by John Biscuti. Great guitar and a great guy on the same photo.

I did see Graham's guitar and that was probably my favorite of the weekend. I felt the spirit of Tom Petty in that baby.

There were WAY too many cool guitars there last weekend for me to list. My brain would short out!
