47 years? Damn! Hope it was a 59 ;)
I always gravitated towards shredder 80s guitars. My Charvel is a Model 5FX Neck-through w/Floyd. I miss my LP sometimes and it was a great git, but the 5 just feels so much better to me than my old Gibson. I really see no quality difference between it and a Soloist. The Japanese made them right ;)
Carrying all that synth hardware up those stairs must have been a joy. Hope you weren’t gigging regularly with it! The ARP stuff sounds really interesting to me. Especially the Quadra/Omnis. But I’m a sucker for synth strings. And the new Voyagers would not make me haZ a sad in the Moog dept.
But for some reason, it’s the Jupiter that I want the most. Ah unrequited lust ;)
It was every weekend with the Rhodes! AND my stupid drummer was a “greenie” and only rode a moped. So guess who moved the drums too?
