Here again is my MonaLisa Twins music corner. It really is a ton of fun to play the same, or near same, model of guitars as I jam with the Twins via my Yamaha Chord Tracker app.
Next up…coming next week…a peerless Epiphone Casino (ebony of course), a Gibson SG Standard, and….ready for this?….a 50 year old Epiphone Excellente (MIJ) in mint condition. This last acoustic guitar is probably the best made Epiphone during recent history. Will take pics once they all arrive next week.
I agree with Lisa when it comes to the Gretsch jet duo…one of the best guitars made. The new Ric 350v63 like Mona plays is not bad either….but I prefer the Gretsch. The Ric’s thin/narrow neck is going to take some getting used to over the next few weeks. Also, may have to invest in a Vox or Rivera amp since none of my current amps do a good job with the Ric 350. This is a bad habit/past time if one ever plans to save a lot of money!
Hope everyone is having a great week.

Cannot forget these ukuleles…
Kala baritone. Lanikai concert. Both are tons of fun.

Here is my MLT music corner
Anything look familiar? I am a happy camper!

Still look like twins to me! ? Roger

Next week I have a new guitar arriving…a Ric 350v63! Cannot wait! Also trying to work out a great deal on a Ric 360 maple…a new, old instrument. Pictures of both will be forthcoming ?! Roger

…just give me more MLT, please! I’ll take it in any media format. Live or studio, the one thing for me is the nature of their efforts – it is always genuine and I am referring to the entire family. The MLT gang is a breath of fresh air…just give me more MLT, please! Roger

I look around today and find myself with many thoughts and opinions about things…one is that many folks need to remember, and find, the groove back in groovy! I visit this page daily just to recharge my mojo!!!! Seeing Jackie’s creations reminds me to do this! Roger

Very cool! Makes a person feel good ? Roger

Jacki, I hope to do that. At least that is the plan right now. Thought that a concert size might be too small for this big lug, but it is actually very nice without having to sacrifice that uke sound. Roger

No failures in this MLT group! If playing is not your thing, you are still good to go with trying. I, for one, cannot string words together in any kind of lyrical form. It seems that the “harder I try, the gooder to be with words, the worser I gets”!
Do not give up on any of your dreams.

Lisa’s guitar inspired my recent purchase of the Jim Gallup. Pretty much a copy of the DSV that Lisa plays, with a Bigsby on it. Love it! I also love Mona’s Ric…very cool. That will be my next major purchase – probably within two years. Nice picture of two beautiful guitars. The ladies sure can make them sing! Roger

Very, very interesting pieces of info. I love the guitar Mona plays…both Ric’s. I am partial to that red sunburst…the one gifted to them. Retailers are asking around three grand for that model and that is a bit rich for my blood right now. One day…maybe. Roger

The purpose and idea behind the video thing is to have FUN and nothing more! I did watch your video and that was the catalyst for my suggextion. You and Tomas’ videos were great and captured the essence. I play for my own enjoyment and with a friend about once a week. I am one of those “not quite ready for prime time players”. ? Roger

Thanks Tomas. I am impressed with the quality of this ukelele. Fun to play and it has such a comfortable feel. Live KOA and it is solid wood all around. Looking forward to getting into it. Enjoyed your video.
I think we should post short videos of us playing our MLT favs. I think it would be a gas….or perhaps we should start a new forum for just videos. Perhaps videos that focus on anything MLT! Roger

Savings my pennies for a 325. These are expensive guitars. Love the sunburst 325 given to the Twins by one of their generous supporters. Probably going to take a couple of years. Thanks for sharing. Roger
