Self employed in auto retail and part owner in a restaurant/bar. Also guitarist and vocalist with Whiskey Rain. Five strong players and five vocalists, a very good rocking country band. Very happily married to a wonderful understanding woman, Mary Ann, for 25 years. Being left handed instruments are not easy to come by. A music store with 200 guitars probably has 2 or 3 lefties, and they are usually low end. So the search for tone goes on. I use mostly Teles, though I just picked up a baritone Eastwood Sidejack that is a very cool guitar. That led to another Eastwood the GP Ultra. I'll be using that for a couple songs per night. I recently picked up a Michael Kelly Patriot lefty that is outstanding. My Warmoth custom Teles get the majority of my playing time. As far as amplifiers I have owned and tried most and keep coming back to Fenders. I now use any one of three Silverface Fenders from the seventies, a Princeton reverb, a Deluxe Reverb, and a Vibrolux Reverb depending on venue. Peace.
