Bob,
In 1974 Herby Wallace came to East Peoria with Nat Stuckey.
Herby had an new P/P, 10&10, that was covered with real, blue, denim. At that time he was using an Howard amp.

Ken, that's purty.
2 pedal steels, a lapStrat, and an 8-string Dobro (and 3 ukes)
More amps than guitars, and not many effects

1965 wraparound D-11, with a hood ornament instead of the decal. This is the only one and this is the guitar that goes to my infrequent sessions..

Unfortunately, I no longer own the red P/P. Also the LeGrande and LeGrande II now sport Alumitone pick ups.

Here's my "soon to be for sale" black lacquer '75. Nice guitar I restored about 10 years ago, but I've got to get rid of some stuff I never play.

MSA Millennium, Legend, and Studio Pro, Reese's restored Universal Direction guitar, as well as some older MSAs, several amps, new and old, and a Kemper Powerhead that I am really liking. Recently added a Zum D10, a Mullen RP, and a restored blue Rose, named the "Blue Bird" to the herd. Also, I have acquired and restored the plexiglass D10 MSA Classic again that was built as a demo in the early '70s. I also added a '74 lacquer P/P, with wood necks.

Hi Jay.

That is quite a stable of guitars that you have there. If I remember correctly, you also once posted a picture of a "wall" full of great vintage amps. :) We are all "gear freaks". :)

I imagine that the Show Bud probably "snuck" in the picture as an "Emmons want to be ".

Here's the other D-11, a cut-tail with 10-6. The string spacing is narrower than the wraparound.
