My Three Guitars

[Rob MacKillop]

PS, Betz, I should have also mentioned that the Peerless and Ibanez do not have solid carved tops - they are laminates. Some prefer that for inset pickups. But you probably know this already.

Oh, a long time ago. I have osteoporosis arthritis in my left hand, and found the high chunky neck to be too much to handle. Was sorry to see that go, though again to a forum member.

Oh I am sorry to hear. It was/is i wonderful sounding guitar. I have two of Franz' guitars and your videos definitely played a big part in convincing me of their qualities.

[Rob MacKillop]

Oh, they are definitely top-class guitars, for sure. I'm glad you ended up with two. If I commissioned a new one, I would ask for a thin neck with a carbon-fibre rod in it.

I'm sure it will change but the personal "music store" carries on!

Yes, I’m enjoying the luxury of having three good-quality instruments to serve my ever-changing moods. Long may it last!

Whatever gave you that idea?!

I'm surprised to hear your Excalibur neck was chunky.The neck on mine is one of the thinnest necks i have and is super comfortable.It hardly requires any finger pressure to play which my aging hands greatly appreciate more often than not these days.

I just noticed that Ibanez is a stealth double cut! Love that gloss black with gold.

Yes, I’ve just been admiring it, having a conversation in my head over how beautiful and interesting it looks in the corner of my room. It invites playing and exploring.
