Just played my V88

I work from home. I decided to take a few minutes today for some guitar therapy. I played my Sheena model, then my Ranger. For some reason I grabbed my V88. I dont play this one too much just cuz for whatever.

This guitar is, with out a doubt, the best guitar in my collection. This isn't head line news, but I just sat there playing her & just thought to myself "self, you should play this more often. It is a truly awesome guitar". So I am going to do just that.

I've named all my guitars Shannon. Shannon 2, Shannon 3, & so on after my wife. I named this V88 Christine after my grandma though. After she passed at 98 yrs old I got a small inheritance. I bought that guitar with that inheritance & named it after her.

GTSP,
How would you compare the feel of your V88 compared to your Ranger? How are they different and how are the alike in context to the whole Mosrite thing?

sorry to sound like an essay question :oops:

Do you have any pics of your V88 that you can post? Sorry if you already have but I wasn't able to find them. Just looking to compare mine to others that I have seen as it has a few slight differences such as the truss rod adjustment not being at the headstock, trem arm, and I'm not sure if the knobs are original or were swapped out at some point.
