Hello TGP! Pics included

Hey everybody,

I'm new here, but not new to guitar. I've been playing for just shy of 40 years. Although I took almost a 15 year hiatus up until about 1.5 years ago, but that's another story. I did play during that time, but not very often. All of that changed not long ago.

Early on this year I was chatting with my Dad about never being able to forget the loss of a Gibson ES-135 that was stolen from me about 20 years ago. Long story short, he bought me a PRS Private Stock HB II to try to make me forget about the 135. No joke.

Here she is:


Next I picked up a New - Old Stock PRS Custom 22 Artist 20th Annv at a price I couldn't pass up. Take a look:



Last, but not least - my parents gave me the most amazing birthday present. A PRS SC-245 57/08 Limited in Cranberry. The love for this just keeps growing and growing.



All three hanging out together:



Needless to say I'm back in the game. New amp, new pedals, and my calluses are back! It's been fun to get know a few of you. I hope that contiunes. Now get back to jamming!

Thanks. You'll have to get in line. Many others have asked if they could be adopted.
