It's hard to pick favourites ...
but if pushed:

Suzuki "Brazen Picker" (1984?), Gibson NRFB (1967), Strat '57 Reissue (1987?), Jaguar (1969), SG 'Melodymaker' (1967), Greco EG59 'Mint Collection' (1987), Fresher (MIJ) 335 (1989?), Höfner (1967?) w/ Burns Supersonic PU's, & few other misc/projects!

There are other very-near-behind close favourites ... couple other Jag's, other SG melodymakers (w/ different PU combo's), vintage Silvertone Danelectro's, lovely Yamaki 1970's YM-1000 acoustic, & not least misc other kooky oddbods & DIY creations... but there's always the handful that are almost actually more than just a guitar somehow 🙊

The RCA 77-D mics at Park Orchards.

Not often you need two, but occasionally just the ticket!

Had old friend of the studio in during the week helping to put the Auditronics 110 console thru some paces.
He always comes up with a nice spicy meatball!

Working on final wiring for the Auditronics 110-8 console. Going for DB25 connectors to facilitate maximum compatibility/flexibility to patchbay (or other connectivity options).
