I think OP got it right back in the day. JM, tele and a 335 style is the perfect setup IMO. Maybe add a nice acoustic.

That 59, damn.... I also realize I need more guitars with a trem bar.

That's a good mix of guitars, for sure. I love that Riviera.

How’s the Bandmaster Reverb? There is one locally that I can pick up for a decent price. It’s been converted into a combo (1 10 and 1 12), ceramic Jemson’s). I’m interested, but the store it’s at is only semi open so I can’t really go in and get a feel for it.

Mine has been heavily modified, basically blackfaced. Mine sounds good, I've never played a stock one.

Phantom
12 String Murph
* Tips hat! * Good to see a showing for the more... unusual guitars. I've always fancied one of those Murphs

I've also got a Vox Phantom - which I thinks covers yr trebly single coil kinda sounds well enough
64 Hofner Verithin semi with bigsby
12 string solidbody Jansen from New Zealand for some jangle

Also got several Burns and Fenton Weills, which have much darker pickups than the Vox, and work well for a different kind of fuzz/distortion sound

Don't really play acoustic much, but I found a Yamaha 160e cheap a couple of years ago, which sounds fabulous through the Yamaha RA50 rotary speaker I've got.

All hail Quine!

Here's one of his Telecasters, now mine. I named it "Alice," after his beloved wife.

How did you come to buy his guitar?
I Love Black Generation
After he died, Rick Kelly at Carmine Street guitars was charged with liquidating his estate, and that one was one that I could afford.
I can only imagine it was hard to resist. glad (for your sake) I didn’t see it first....

I have the old ivory looking handle that (I’m told) came on my 60s SG but the vibrato bridge was gone when I got it.
the Bigsby on my Brian Setzer Hot Rod tho.... love it !
