At age twenty-two I decided to learn to play the guitar and I promptly purchased my first student grade acoustic guitar. After a few years, I sold my “beginner's instrument” and purchased my first professional quality bass and acoustic guitar. I came to realize that there was a tremendous difference in sound, playability, materials and craftsmanship in these instruments compared to the student grade models. Little did I know that these events would lead me into the world of guitar collecting, and ultimately to a senior contributing editorship at 20th Century Guitar Magazine as well as serving as technical editor on the book,
 Ampeg: The Story Behind The Sound by Gregg Hopkins and Bill Moore.

To answer the most frequently asked question I get: Yes, I really do play them all. The second most frequently asked question I get is, "What is your favorite guitar?" The only answer is, "The one I'm playing at this moment is my favorite." But I can at least tell you that my favorite style of solid body guitars include the Fender Telecaster and G&L ASAT for their utter simplicity and versatility, and that my favorite archtops have a wang bar for rockabilliosity.
