SPA Modeler

The dual tipped one was found by model paints, the single pen was found by its usual spot - where the markers / pens are. I grabbed the last one on reduced price.

Well, at the ripe old age of 73.5, I bought another guitar. I had one for years, a wedding gift from my wife, that I never learned much about other than a few chords. Our daughter took guitar lessons briefly around 7 or 8 and I learned what she learned. I did manage to knock out a mean Polly Wolly Doodle! Anyway, I lost interest and a few years ago, our son Carson took that Ventura home with him. But, I've always wanted a resophonic (or resonator) guitar and on Friday I bought one from a guitarist on Ebay. It's a Gretsch Honeydipper model. It looks great in his photos but they aren't the best. It should arrive next week and I'll try to get better pics then. I don't have any illusions about becoming a great player on this at my age but if I can learn a few bottleneck moves with open tunings, then I'll be tickled to death! Here are a few of the sellers photos:

Very nice! I've played since I was a kid but never played a dobro. You're going to be the next Curtis Loew.
I've been wanting a Gretsch White Falcon for some time - just don't want to shell out the $$$. And I already have a Fender acoustic (which I play 99% of the time) and a Fender strat. It's a great hobby but like anything, takes some investment of time.
Ultimate-guitar.com is a great for just about any songs chords e.g. https://tabs.ultimate-guitar.com/tab/ly ... rds-685055 and on youtube just lookup 'how to play xyz'.

Very nice!

Rock on, mate! It's on its way here. Left Dallas last night so it will arrive tomorrow or Thursday, latest. I'm sure nervous about it arriving without damage.
