Well, I know I shared a gift circle with "guys named Rich" with my Orpheum 12. :) And two others of mine came directly or indirectly through Richard P.

Quick recovery, Richard!

And so did my Orpheum 14 fret - came from Barton City.

Going with the Lake Guitar today, though not down at the lake, too cold outside this week:

OK, putting the Ibby Artwood Studio away. Raining here in MA so a good time to take out another git (from a humditty point of view, that is).... I think I had a vote for Diana earlier, but that's gonna wait since I'm thinking it's a 12-string week.

I love being retired. I'm here at my local coffee shop mulling over what's next.... Definitely good thoughts to be having, rather than who's going to upset me at work next. :D

@chazmo, congratulations! 🎉

I didn't know you had retired! I'm looking forward to it myself this May!

Today it's the F-40 Traditional. It's a fantastic guitar.

You know, I'm still drooling over the Pacific sunburst on the standard version, GG. If a deal comes up on one of those someday, I might have to swap something out of the collection for one. Anyway, your burst is beautiful.

Outstanding, walrus. Congrats (in advance). Actually, I was laid off from my (final) job, but I've been treating it as retirement. I was planning to work another 2 years or so (I'm "only" 60, after all). But having started in the business as a young man (21) and after 38 continuous years in high-tech, living with "survivor's guilt" almost the whole time, I was more than ready. The working world is barely recognizable these days, and I am no longer interested.

Good luck in your plans. How anyone can work in higher education these days is beyond me.

Well, it was a tremendous gig for four decades, but I will agree the whole higher education environment has changed. I won't discuss the details, since none of them are allowed as topics on LTG! :p

The only thing that remains the same, and is still enjoyable, is spending time with the younger generations. But I am getting tired!

Looking forward to playing more guitar!

They hit a home run with this model, even if it's not named properly. <cough> F-48 <cough> :)

but you digress..........
Today I will be working on my music lesson homework, "Reminiscing" by The Little River Band" and use either my
Martin D-28, or Gibson J-45, as I'll likely play one or the other at the class concert in February.

Man, I wish they would do the M-40 with a rosewood body. Call it an M-45 or M-50, I don't care. I want one.

Interesting. Forgetting the nomenclature, did Guild ever make a rosewood-bodied concert-sized guitar? I can't think of any. It's a good idea, GG.
