in 2022, My buddy Chris of The Twelfth Fret, Toronto, invited me down to take some photos of the late Canadian jazz legend Ed Bickert's 1965 Telecaster.

It's the most historically important guitar I've ever had the chance to shoot.

Hello canary bird...

I LOVE a good Telecaster Thinline. Here's an example from 1969 in a custom color called Canary Yellow.

I came this close to buying another "salad" #guitar* at the @elmiravintageguitars show!

Circa 1980 #Epiphone #Genesis.

*"you don't win friends with salad"

Homeless no more!

I finally found a case for my 1968 ES-330, which has been case-less since I threw away the malodorous non-original case it came with!

A beauty...even under hockey arena lighting 😍

My favourite moment of the @elmiravintageguitars show was when this 1953 Gibson ES-295 showed up at the @folkwaymusic booth for appraisal.
