More Than An Inventory
Section titled “More Than An Inventory”Some guitars arrive as long-held dreams. Others are inexpensive, borrowed, rescued, rebuilt, or simply impossible to forget. This archive keeps their specifications and histories together, alongside amps, future pedalboards, practice notes, and the projects still taking shape.
A Made 2 Measure ES-335, an SJ-200 Western Classic, and a 1960 Les Paul Standard Reissue.
Marshall memories, a borrowed Fender, current quirks, and the search for the next daily driver.
No finished board yet: just research, signal-chain questions, and a plan to build it properly.
A growing place for songs, tabs, tunings, capo positions, lessons, and practice notes.
Future stories about left-handed playing, repairs, guitar history, storage, and the process behind each build.
