« 194 » 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:
« 195 » Denver EF240BR Acoustic Guitar
4th October 2011
Denver acoustic guitar, model EF240BR. A cheap acoustic I purchased some time in the late 80's as my first acoustic, after going to the music store every day for two weeks. Whilst it's cheap, and probably made from lesser quality woods, the combination of the piezo pickup under the bridge, light gauge strings and the woods give it an unusually rich sound. I've used it in many recordings and gigs throughout the years, and it was my main go to guitar for a long time, traveling with me from west to east and back again. Modified the way the battery was contained inside the body by adding an external battery compartment near the electronics.

« 196 » Epiphone 5 string Banjo MB 200
4th October 2011
I bought this Epiphone banjo from eBay when I was experimenting with different instruments, it didn't cost a lot due to a re-glued head turning a lot of people off, but it keeps tune very well for what looks like a mid-range priced instrument. It came with a hard case with the "Epiphone" logo, and sports chrome hardware. A 26 1/4" scale neck with a 1-1/4" nut. Bolt-on neck Mahogany neck with rosewood fingerboard and a Mahogany body. Has an American Eagle design on the back in gold paint looks beautiful adds a great touch to this instrument. US made, I'm not too sure of it's history pre-2003 when I first purchased it, although it looks as though the neck was replaced at some stage.
