The make and model of your guitar(s) and/or other instruments and gear.

1 vintage Ovation Balladeer (sp?) 6-sring (1975). My baby.
1 Ovation ultra acoustic-electric (2008) Great neck, superb tone and sustain.

1 Martin 6-string model 000-15 Auditorium
1 Martin 12-string J12-15 Jumbo

Sometimes I wishI could play both of these at once. All full of that incredible Martin sound. Both Martins are 175th anniversary editions with original owner certification. I hope they will be a 401Ks for my children one day.

What type of music do you like to play?

A sort of minimalist, self-taught drifty finger-picking groove or my bare-bones covers of various melodic oldies.
