Watching El Tuce's collection makes me feel way less guilty of owning 'only' seven guitars myself
Very impressive Tommy! You do have them insured, of course!

As far as the tenors go, I don't really play either of them much. I just tune them like a 6 string minus the low E and the A. I had been trying to sell the Gretsch but was getting nothing but really low offers so I decided to just get the neck reset and hang onto it for now. I mostly just got the Wilshire one because of my obsession with the Coronets, Crestwoods, etc. That sweet color swayed me a bit as well.

Hey, Tommy--
What do you think of those reissue Epiphone Wilshire guitars?
I loved the one I had in the 1960s and have been on the verge of buying one of the reissues several times.

I've never played one so I can't really offer a great opinion. I did pick one up in a store once and kinda plinked a bit. It felt ok but the finish looked real cheesy. Two friends of mine have 'em and love 'em for whatever it's worth.

Hmm. The finish was my main concern.
I prefer a nitro finish for some reason, and I've seen a couple of those reissues refinished in nitro on eBay, but they went for more than I felt like paying.
Thanks for the info!

Sure thing! The cherry seems to be the worst looking of all of them.

wow what a unique collection. I had no idea that premier made stuff like that.
