If today was your last day at work, and they just said, "Hey Man, you've been a great employee, just pick something off the wall to take with you", which guitar out of the whole store, would you pick? What is it?"

Which one would you pick? 🤔​

@AntiPapa_Ken I don't play guitar, but my sister does; she had some nice guitars. I don't know if you're familiar with the Framus, a fine Bavarian, 12 string guitar. Can't say how much it was really worth but she bought it in EUROPE in 69 (Much more today) Collector item.
When she was young & foolish, wasting money, she hocked it!!!
Wasn't able then, to buy it back, so
I bought it back; she said "keep it".
My friend was learning guitar, so I loaned it to him. He ♥'d it.
I said "KEEP IT!"

@Rasta I am indeed familiar with Framus, I've owned one a couple of decades ago. A great guitar. Too bad she lost it. But one girl's rubbish is another man's treasure...
I once sold an -69 Epiphone Coronet for peanuts, basically. I still miss it, even though I prefer Fender guitars.
This is my #1, AVRI -1951 Telecaster blackguard with a baseball bat neck and all those 50's atrocities. But I like it! If it was good enough for Clapton, it's good enough for me...

@AntiPapa_Ken Clapton would play anything 😂​
Even Bob Marley's song

I tell people, that I don't play an instrument ... @AntiPapa_Ken
Because no one ever says, "We're having a campfire sing-along on the beach, could you bring your trumpet?"
Guitars come out before the second beer, even after a dozen, no one brings out brass instruments ..

Video playing is me, playing trumpet, with screens of text talking about me playing before I was 13, with SchooL bands, Air Cadets, Navy Bands, and for fun and disturbing neighbours.

@AntiPapa_Ken I I was curious about sax then..

Opps, spelled that wrong 😂

@Rasta I once hocked a Gibson Les Paul Classic... But that's a different story (I got it back, though...).

@AntiPapa_Ken One of our local band members had one stolen at a gig. The Band Community went nuts sharing photos and keeping eyes out for pawns and resales. Suddenly, it came back! Some crackhead stole it, and couldn't hock it. It was hot, and they said, return safe, no questioned asked. So he did.

@Rasta Bastards. Stealing a geetar is worse than... I'd rather be raped, if I put it that way.

@AntiPapa_Ken It was pretty low, but then, crack is a bad thing, it turns humans into GOP.

But, the main thing, it came back, unharmed

@Rasta @GuitarSith not easy question at all.. Do you have any easier question 😂😂

@Offroadrj LOL good day brother, no, just saw that video, and knew that my guitar friends, would think about this. It doesn't need to be answered, meant to amuse :P
I had some damages from the wind storm , I was busy outside cleaning up for awhile today

@Offroadrj@mastodon.social avatar

@Rasta you had storm? Is everyone safe? Greetings to Mrs 🙏I hope you are well

@Offroadrj No one hurt, that I know? Trees hit cars, or split tres, shingles everywhere (not mine) my shed is coming apart, and it took down my gate that survived 4 hurricanes. And a very expensive fence (I didn't pay for it) fell over, into my driveway, then bounced back up. But, it will damages my car if it is that easy to push over. lots of work to do, on warm days

I took a walk around to get photos and videos. Roofs were losing shingles while I watched.

Shingles tearing off a roof in the Windstorm 11 December in Nova Scotia

Wouldn’t want to make a choice without being able to see and play the other options. If there’s a real 1959 Gibson Les Paul then that would be my choice.

@GuitarSith That's a popular guitar LOL You'd want to hear it first
