« 3 » 1989 PRS Electric guitar
25th August 2014
This is an early 1989 (23rd Jan) version of the PRS 'Electric' 24 guitar. There were about 250 of this model produced, with the majority being built in 1988. This one is number 220, just prior to the model being re-released as the PRS CE 24. I fixed some issues and gave it a polish and it looks quite good for a 25 year old guitar.

« 5 » Roland G-707 Synth Guitar Controller
6th October 2011
This synth controller was purchased back in the early 80's, when Roland were still tuning their synth controlling gear. It was purchased from a hock shop for probably too much money, and was later matched to the synth portion (the Roland GR-700, not pictured here) from a private sale. These are the details from the Roland site:

« 8 » New PRS SE Torero Guitar
31st January 2011
Richard orders a new guitar and it finally arrived - a Paul Reed Smith Torero.
The SE Torero features several firsts for PRS — a Floyd Rose bridge, EMG pickups, and neck through body construction among them — that should appeal to both the existing PRS player and a new audience and musician. The minimal/unpronounced heel smoothly blends into the body and the deeper, lower cutaway gives easier and smoother accessibility to the upper frets while the pick-ups provide power, clarity, and definition. These features all contribute to the Torero’s notable sustain, and the bound ebony fretboard with jumbo frets and no inlays paired with a mahogany body and flame-maple veneer give this guitar a very distinct look.

« 9 » Richard Mortimer and Eunice Foo's Civil Wedding
24th December 2006
A small ceremony was held to celebrate Richard and Eunices Civil Wedding in their backyard at Joondalup, followed by a Chinese Tea Ceremony later in the day. The tea ceremony is the traditional Chinese way of marriage, and the Bride and Groom will kneel before the parents and offer them special tea to gain acceptance in the family. This is followed by offering tea to the older siblings, then the younger siblings repeat the process to the newly weds, to accept their position in the heirarchy of the family. Later during the day they went to Burns Beach to have some photos taken by the Western Australian coastline. The majority of photos included in this set were taken by Leonard Foo, Eunice's brother, which follow the events of the day.
