Hi, I live in the South Bay (Cupertino) and will hit 50 soon. Started with guitar at the age of 14 and was always into Blues, both acoustic and electric.
I'm a Fender guy all the way, Stratocasters and Tweed amps, well I do own an early brown Super which is very close to a Tweed. For acoustic I love small
body ones, Martin, Gibson and old Nationals. My favorite acoustic guitar stores are Gryphon and Schoenberg.
Thanks

Hey 00045! Good to have you! It sounds like you have quite a stable of fine guitars! May I ask what Nationals do you own? Looks like a Style O in your avatar.

Thanks everyone for the warm welcome.
Tricone, Yes, that's my Style O in my avatar. It's a 1930 in near mint condition. I got from a collector who had it stored for >30 years and never really played it. Marc Schoenberger did the setup for me, it sounds wonderful now. My other National is a 1931 Triolian in walnut sunburst. |

Wow! Even though the avatar pic is tiny, I could still tell that it is in great condition! Very nice. I have a '29 Triolian . . . kind of . . . I purchased
it (ebay) before I knew anything at all about vintage Martins. I never really bonded with it, and it had basically been sitting in storage until recently, when
I decided to put it up for sale.
