Nice axes! But yeah, @nopartofme, it's getting a little fret-centric up in here. No worries...

'Baby Rhodes' 54-key electric piano ~1979, and Fender Twin amp ~1976
I can't believe I used to gig with this thing! It weighs a freakin' ton, but sounds like buttah. No BS sampled Rhodes can even come close, I'm sorry. (tho this hypcocrite gigs with a Nord Electro these days). The Fender Twin is a classic guitar amp, but most people don't know it was actually voiced for the Rhodes—a perfect pair!

Hohner E7 Clavinet ~1976
This thing can do a lot more than Stevie Wonder's Superstition, but yeah it does that.

My melodica collection
The guy on Colbert plays one, as does reggae artist Augustus Pablo and keyboardist John Medeski. Clockwise from top: wooden alto & soprano melodicas (handmade in Minnesota), bass 'melodion' and Andes 'recorder-keyboard', both by Suzuki, and a Xaphoon, a reed instrument.

1957 National Student Model # 1133 Resophonic Steel Guitar. One cone. I heard they cost $50 in '57.

I also have a Martin 000 28EC, a Larrivee P-09 (Parlor-size); a Voyage-air VAOM-2C (which is a folding, full-size Orchestra Model. Great for travel. It's with me now in Mexico), and lesser guitars, but no less loved.

I had a pretty awesome drum collection until a couple years ago. I moved from a 4000 sf home in Ohio to a 1400 sf condo in SoCal so I had to sell all but a few things. I had close to 100 sets and about 300 snares. Mostly all vintage stuff. Ludwig, Slingerland, Rogers and Gretsch. My music studio back in Ohio was 2800 SF and I had warehouse space for the overflow. LOL Here's a shot of some of my snares. The bottom row is mostly Ludwig, second row is a lot of Slingerland. Pretty nice mix.

Now, I have 2 snares and 1 set. :( LOL
