Q: What do this #vintageguitar and this #vintageamp have in common?

A: they are the least expensive ones in my collection...and two of my favourites!

Yes it is true...the TOTAL money I spent on acquiring this beat up (but original, and very loveable) 1966 #Fender#Musicmaster II 3/4 scale and this 1965 #Gisbon#GA17 RVT "Scout" #amplifier is precisely HALF the cost* of buying a new Les Paul Standard 50s or 60s model at a popular retailer in Canada today! I could have TWO of these complete rigs for the same price a ONE new bottom of the range Gibson USA Les Paul.

*OK OK, you make a good point: I did buy the Musicmaster several years ago (before prices went f*cking bonkers) but it was a good deal then and still by far the least expensive vintage Fender or Gibson guitar I have ever seen in all my guitar shopping travels. Plus, my guess is it probably wouldn't sell for a ton more now than I paid for it then because of its , shall we say, "mediocre" condition. Oh and also because no one** wants a Musicmaster ("wait...only one pickup? In the NECK position?!?! EWWW!") 🤣

** except me!

PS: Lately I have taken to uploading separately on Insta and on Tumblr because Insta is trying to be tiktok and so favours reels rather than still photos in their algorithm.  All I *do* is still photos, so I am jamming them into Reels now like a chump to please the IG gods, but wathing a video of a photo (or photos) zooming by isn’t the same as looking at, appreciating, and fully taking in a photo as a work of art.  I guess IG just isn’t a platform anymore for artists working in old fashioned media like digital photography lol.  Anyhoo: at least Tumblr still lets a photographer be a photographer and doesn’t penalize them for it!

Warm tones. Both figurative and literal. . Just dug up this old shot from a sunny, warm day last October, with my trusty turtle Ric (don't tell him his #Strat is actually a fridge magnet), my 1966 #Fender #Musicmaster and 1965 #PrincetonReverb #amp. Happy days indeed. With the temperatures consistently below -15⁰ C lately, the sun going down by 5 pm, and the most snowfall I have seen since I've lived in this part of the country, I'm positively jonesing for the warmer, brighter, longer, greener, days of Spring. S.A.D. is real folks! . . #fendermusicmaster #smallguitar #studentguitar #fenderprinceton #fenderamps #vintageamp #vintagefender #vintageguitar #guitarcollection #guitarphotography (at Peterborough, Ontario) https://www.instagram.com/deebeeus/p/CZP5IaXIzkV/?utm_medium=tumblr
