How Many NGD's Did We Have in 2023?

#18.  Jackson CBXNT DX IV bass.  Yes, a hideous color, and the collection of visual characteristics makes it the most controversial bass on the Internet.  The name is so hard to remember that everyone is calling it "The Jackenbacker" because it sounds like a Rickenbacker 4003.  "Clank, clank, clank."  But if you love the Rick sound, this is a fabulous, inexpensive way to get it.

#19 a Rainsong APSE - Al Petteway Special Edition.  Basically an OM with short 24.9" scale and copperburst paint scheme.  It was very lightly used and coincidentally shipped from the seller on the day that Al died.  Now Rainsong is going out of business, so this is probably the very last one built.

#21
2015 Taylor 322e 12 fret from Dave's Guitar in Lacrosse,WI. Bought a 2018 312ce in June and fell in love,so much that I  wanted a older 322 (standard bracing). Haven't been real sold on the V Class stuff. With this, I should be good for a while.

#24 and #25. Two more for me in November. A 2017 814ce Deluxe (I seem to be obsessed with 800 series guitars just now) and an absolute gem. Rob Armstrong, a brilliant English luthier, is ‘cashing in his pension’ by selling off the ‘extra’ guitars he’s built over the 50 years or so he’s been making. His private collection is truly extraordinary. Every guitar is different, all built using hand tools, most of which he made himself. No power tools used at all. This guitar is Brazilian Rosewood and Cedar, 000 size but much deeper, and with a centre section in the back of golden stained fiddleback mahogany. It’s magnificent.

32&33. Vintage VE2000 Gordon Giltrap Signature Deluxe model 6 string, Vintage VE2000 GG 12 string. Bought as travel guitars, turns out they’re much better than that. It’s a sickness, isn’t it?
