Looks that way. Two of the Fenders (the red Strat+ and white Tele+) were gifts from Fender back when they were starting up their Custom Shop. To note, the sunburst Tele I bought when I was living in Illinois. A friend at a store in Chicago called me to come look at this guitar … it has a 10# (!) ash body with SCN pickups that Fender was using at the time. Amazing tonal range.When I started playing back in the late 70’s, I was into Gibsons. Of the Gibsons that I have owned, wish I had two of them back. A three pickup LP Custom with a natural top and a sunburst Gibson L6S Custom.Gibsons today are fine … occasionally you will find an exceptional one or a really bad one. For tone and quality, I really like my PRS S2 (sunburst top right) and the Heritage H530 (middle left).Not shown is a 4string cigar box guitar. Great tone and fun to noodle about on.ETA … the Tonka trucks shown are from the early 60’s. I have a handful of them packed away and they are all in mint condition. Growing up (trying to still), my parents made us take care of our toys. Those Tonkas were waxed like real cars. The puppy in my profile picture is the dog that photo bombed the picture here. We fostered 7 BlueHeeler mixed puppies and kept him because he was the smallest/runt of the litter. Today, he ‘s 97 pounds and insanely athletic.
