Gregs Guitar Page
For over three decades Greg has been collecting guitars. While he still owns his original Gibson Blue Ridge it has long been retired and is raely taken out of its case. Several guitars are currently played and while none are (price wise) high end they all are very playable. Typically the acoustics are kept in different tunnings for ease in playing and as each tunning imparts a different chord toneality which is useful in writing. The tunnings used are standard tunning, dropped D, open D, and open G. The following guitars make up the collection:
1. Yamaha FG-400-mahagony body
2.Yamaha CPK8XY-acoustic electric -sycamore body
3.Laraviee parlor-maple body
4.Tacoma Roadking-acoustic electric-mahagony body
6.Yamaha classical-rosewood body
7.Carlo Robelli arched top-electric-maple body
