On my single jobs, I keep a nylon string Goden on the bandstand, and play 15-20 solos a night.

Play 4-5 jazz jobs a month with a trio-play an L-5 or 335.

Play in a variety band several times a month. Play a Parker Fly.

Buy lots of guitars that appreciate in value and depreciate every single dollar over time
for the tax deduction. Problem is, I'll have to pay capital gains if i can ever bring myself to liquidate.

Like my keyboards, but LOVE my stringed instruments. Started playing guitar in 1956. Took up keyboard in 1972 when my long-time B-3 player retired and I started doing a single.
