great pic, as always, and a rare post of a Rick - nice!
 
The things I play most often these days, aren't even guitars, but these two are my favorites.
Don't quite have enough functioning fingers to still play my guitars anymore, so I've adapted to other forms of amusement.
They're just things I make with three pairs of strings tuned in octaves.
I can navigate the thinner fretboards, and with the diatonic fret placement, there's fewer wrong notes.

This one with the mandolin body has some serious volume acoustically. It speaks with authority.

Those look like fine companions to play in that sunny landscape. Rock on brother!
 
I am seeing brother Robert is here. What is the news on the frets on the Schecter?

Funny you would ask...it definitely needs a level and crown, but I'm thinking more towards having a second Warmoth 1-3/4" neck made for my Jackson San Dimas with an 'R5' Floyd Rose nut. Those Jescar Evo Frets really are super tough.

One of my bandmates wants to buy the Schecter, so I'm thinking I may do that and invest in another neck, rather than level and crown once a year, or spring for stainless.

Yeah, I would sell that Schecter to your band mate. Let him wear out the frets till useless point. One day you can always buy another one if you get to missing it.
Take the money and buy something else like the neck for the Jackson. I think you really do prefer the Strat type bodies, 24.75 and wide necks, and of course R5 Floyd nut. Why not have a nut that basically will never wear out and frets that are near bulletproof?
