There are so many topics that I want to cover - just don't get me started on something. Everything is connected and I might just never quit. This is a multi-topic site with articles on any subject that interests me enough to write about, from the music industry to buying a telescope, from weather modification to the origins and workings of the universe. Why play with pebbles, when you can dance with the planets? - Val Serrie

GuitArt - The Guitar Calendar - "Monterrey"
Monterrey:
This is a Washburn 12 string. Called Monterrey because the model name is actually Monterrey-12. It is hard to tell from this picture, but it is a very elegant guitar. Up close, it is beautifully rendered in a tobacco sunburst, and with an arched back (rare!) This was fairly expensive, actually. In the price range range of medium-price Martins and Taylors - about $1500 as I recall. I use this one for all my 12 string needs. It has a built-in pickup, but I prefer the mic it to get that natural acoustic tone. It has a nice even sound, and is a little difficult to play because it is a 12-string (that is unavoidable with 12 strings), but as 12-strings go it is not too tough to play. I bought this one in the early 80’s.
