Wow, that's a world class gift...treasure it.

My current axes are: 1987 Alvarez DY-39 w/LR Baggs transducer, 1983 Washburn M3-SW F-style mandolin(LR Baggs-Joe Mills Mic combo), 1978 Takamine Acoustic/Electric 'Logo Era' 12-string, 1976 Gibson Grabber G-3 w/custom EKG Select pick-ups(reverse P-bass configuration), 1983 Strat Standard.

Also, I've got this mandola sized Celtic looking handmade instrument I bought on ebay. It's been dated to 1860 and has ivory banjo tuners. It really sounds great stummed, but not so good trying to do single note stuff. I use it as another sound besides the acoustic guitar on demo recordings. Fills in very nicely. Wish I knew how to post pics.
