After all of these years, 31 this year. Through a couple of decades when I had no clue how to care for an acoustic guitar. Lately, she's gotten a bit of attention.....well deserved. Anyway, today she was just laying there with her head on a pillow and I just had to get a shot. Gosh I love this little lady.

Thank you Joe. Man she's been locked up in car trunks in the August Texas sun, she's had pickups taped to her belly, she's been banged around at many a campfire, she's been handled by a host of people, but she's still gorgeous and sounds fabulous. This is my tribute to my first baby.

I feel the same way about my '73 D50 West. The one guitar I'll never part with.
