At least 2 of your 3 are cutaways. That saves some space.

The latest configuration of the herd, sans couch. The PartsCaster is about to get a new Lollar Charlie Christian neck p/u installed and a tortoise pick guard.

Here's my Uncle Esko's current herd. They have a sound all their own.

This is the current stock of my trade - omitted in the pic are my 2 Tele's, a Strat, a Jazz bass, 2 nylonstring/classical guitars and a steelstring 000 12-fretter.

Thanks for the thread and sharing pics. Some quite fine instruments in there!

Most of the herd earlier this year. Other than an ES125, not many trad jazz boxes, although I've played jazz on the MIJ Tele and the FGN ES335 type. There's a few Japanese "bizarre" guitars mixed in, kinda got a thing for 'em.

Since then, been using a stock new Ibanez AKJV95 for most jazz jammin'.

She was a feral mutt kitten living out of a fish & chips garbage dumpster, that we "rescued." She's now in her early 20's.

It was a special order from a shop in China actually (it's actually hand built and I received pictures of it throughout the building process). I didn't want to pay thousands and thousands for an instrument I wasn't sure would get played much. Overall, I'm extremely surprised by the overall build, quality, and sound of the instrument. I mainly use it for Clasical and some Bluegrass stuff, so I don't play it that often, but regardless, it's still a beautiful instrument.

Not a herd but a "her"
