English term or phrase: Longtime T.S.O.L. guitarist
***Longtime T.S.O.L. guitarist*** Ron Emory has infused some truly distinctive Fender acoustic guitars with his years of SoCal-punk cred and expertise.

The thing is he has not always been T.S.O.L guitarist. He was at the beginning of the band, then quited, and now he has joined it again.

Does "longtime" mean "old", "former", "seasoned", "veteran"... here?

agree  Charles Davis: Must have been a matter of seconds! (Strictly speaking "has been": he still is. And he has been since the group formed in 1978, which is certainly a long time.) Cred means credibility.

agree  Sheila Wilson: 'cred' as in 'street cred' - credibility or credentials, both fit the context

  -> Thanks Sheila (and Charles). I meant to offer credibility as another option, but forgot about it while I searched for the link.
