Thank you for the complement.
I bought that guitar just to leave around the house, in the event I got bored and wanted to grab something quick. My main guitars are mostly Tele style, and my main stage guitar is a Crook Custom Guitars black paisley tele. When I moved last year, I had around 50 guitars. I've sold off several of those as of late.
And yes, the dog loves when I play guitar. He will sit and watch and listen for hours.

Man! You're really good! That's awesome. Cool guitar too. Looks like your pup was really getting into it also! My dogs would always come in the room where I was trying to learn, but what they got exposed to was more a form of torture than it was music like what you do!

Great stuff!

I would probably be the same way with guitars (i.e. have a bunch of them), if I could play. I've always loved the things, especially the Fender Strats. I think I posted on here before about having an old Peavy (Strat clone). I didn't think it was worth anything, and then someone here spoke up and said some of them are actually quite valuable and rare. Mine happened to be one of them. I've had the thing since college...and I still can't play worth a hoot.

Loved your pup diggin' your tunes though. That was cool! He was really gettin' into it. I knew this lady once who had this bird, and that thing would dance like crazy if you put music on. He'd completely rock out to some songs too. He definitely liked R&B and rap music better than some other kinds.

Did you know that Newton invented calculus when he was on lockdown for 2 years during the plague? he discovered gravity and made a telescope as well during that time. i can't help but wonder what people did during this lockdown

Thanks FCD!
I looked around at different styles and went went the Japanese look on the one for my wife.

The one I made for my grand son I made up because he wanted me to use pentagons

as he is into geometric shapes (he's 8) so I made that one for him in all pentagons.

I have made quite a few so far but I just give them to my friends,

everyone needs a little extra something in their lives right now to just make them feel good.....

Ya know?

Probably learned how to make retro-computer keyboards, popsicle stick monuments, instruments for rock and roll bands, all while learning about their family history and eating corned beef sammiches! You know, junk like that.
😁

BTW - Here's a picture of the keyboard I recently built and have been talking about...
