I posted on this thread in the past but I don't think those pictures are supported any longer. My main instrument is the five string banjo played bluegrass "Scruggs" style. Here is my '88 Gibson RB3

I double on dobro.
Not a very good picture. My Dobro is a laminate import that I gutted to just the body and put a Quarterman cone and National spider in.

Someday I'll try to get a picture of my personal guitar. It is a Martin DM which is a dreadnaught mahogany all laminate with a solid spruce top. I bought it 22 years ago mostly to have something around here for friends to play. I do use it on occasion, especially for working a song out.
Finally, don't ever start with ukes. They come in multiple sizes with multiple timbres. I got a little carried away. This is a part of my collection.

Some of those are gone and have been replaced and etc.
What got me started was "Dueling Banjos" being played about every 20 minutes on rock stations here in Florida when it came out. I heard that on WLCY (Rock at the time) and had to have a banjo. Played in a few local bands and have always played in church.
Enjoy playing Americana, bluegrass, gospel, blues, classic rock and etc. Never been much into current top 40 country. Now and then something will strike my fancy. Now something by Hank senior or Jimmie Rodgers that's a different story, count me in.
Also have a '73 (CBS era) Strat' white on black. Don't play that any. Holding it to pass on to a youngster in the family.
Enjoying looking at and reading about everyone's axes and gear.
