While I am looking forward to seeing more entries, I must say that so far I like my chances!  :laughing7:
 
Wow! A Thinline Tele, a relec'd Strat and a Mooncaster bass. All fine instruments. Just this morning I was thinking all that was missing was a bass to round things out and Voila! What a great lineup.
