  1. Why so down?

    Question

    I think I figured it out. '78 I believe is correct year. Can someone confirm or correct?
  3. Have a King round neck resonator gtr and bought Fender 10's 70XL acoustic strings to try on it. I've recently begun going with 10 ga instead of 11's and 12's on acoustic. Never noticed neck being any longer than, say a Martin JC dreadnought I've had a few years but 3rd and 4th strings are too short, barely reaches posts. Never an issue with D'Aderio (that spelling doesn't look right) or the flat wound Magma strings before these. Are these strings for parlor guitars or something? Hate to waste so I cut length from old strings to add Xtra length and make them usable. They sound and play pretty good though. Bought 5 sets and don't look forward to rednecking it at every string change.

    Combo

    Bummer. My Roland ga212 gets great sounds but I have to use something to make it distort. Moore 150 I think is the model but I've will sometimes use evh od pedal or joyo extreme metal in its place. I once played through someone's marshall jubilee half stack for about 6 months while guy was trying to sell it. Drum er's space so I was told to use it so I wouldn't have to lug my amp back and forth. It was solid state and I just plugged in explorer twisted some dials and the sound was gorgeous, sort of Kentucky headhunters'ish. Love amp to guitar with nothing between. Probably should have bought it. Just bigger than I needed. Anyhow, thanks for response

    Combo

    May start looking for a combo amp in near future. Don't care about clean tone, I have an amp for that. Prefer non tube. I know marshall has solid state but can it distort like a half stack. Does mesa boogie make a non tube combo? I realize I can go to a store in person or internet and find out but I may hear a recommendation from someone here about other options. I play slide and usually go for a Georgia Satellites meets Dave Mustaine tone, usually epi explorer. Just want that tone.
  7. Ok, you're stranded in a blizzard outside of Daytona speedway caught in traffic because 100,000+ rednecks want to get back to their own state before dark. You have 3 guitars to have with you. 1 is to use as kindling because of the Florida snowstorm, 2 is to fight off the Earnhardt fans that mooch everyone's beer 3 for you to play, cuddle or whatever wierd crap you want to do with it..................Ready? 1 For my firewood guitar would be Steve Vai's 5 neck hydra guitar. Gotta be a decent amount of wood in that. 2 one of those 80's pointy Kramer guitars. Would be brutal and efficient dealing with the sea of #3's and #8's trying to get in your cooler. 3 is a toughie but I want billy Gibbon's explorer in the video where it looks like a cloud. Never thought of having a cuddle guitar but now I have an answer if topic comes up.........and yes I'm aware that seniors gone and jr retired.

    Banjitar

    6 months ago bought a banjitar and it can be fun to play. Always have capo handy with Nashville tuning because it just seems a good fit. Then I just strum the crap out of it with bare index most of the time. Why is 6 string banjitar not called 6 string banjo. Whether standard tuning or say open G it's still banjitar. What a horrible name by the way. There's 4 string banjo, 5 string banjo, why not 6. To me drum head with strings should automatically qualify it as banjo. Does anyone have one of these and does it have a neck like barrel end of a softball bat?
  9. He also has been known to use one from buffalo hoof. Looks like warren Haynes plays like Steve gaines...... Hey am I a poet and not aware of it?

    GT guitars

    Walnut. Out of miss. Bought it used. No names just numbers assigned to them this is #16 I think. # is bottom below toggle. The order they are made in I guess. Just curious if anyone else has one and what they think of it.
  12. Favorite rolling Stones song is Emotional Rescue. Love the bass. Recently heard or read that Ron Wood is who actually played bass on that song. Is this true? If so, why?
  13. Sack of coal which may come in handy for heat if we get hit by this storm friday

    Peavy

    My first pawnshop guitar was a Peavy ? solidbody double cutaway 70's or 80's era. The pick guard had an insane amount of screws holding it on. Does anyone know why so many screws? It was actually an ok guitar. Just a question I had back then that didn't get answered.
  16. Got a guitar playing friend who will choose picks to buy by bouncing it on counter on its edge and listen for that magic, "thonk" or whatever the sound is that "chosen" picks make. Anyone else do this?
  17. Ahhh, only thing that beats a puncture wound is two puncture wounds in the same spot. Nice to hear you've found your strings For some reason I keep wanting to keep putting 12's on my Mexican Martin. Just a little too much but sounds really good. Just put on Magna acoustic flatwounds 10's on Marty last week and they play and sound good, maybe even great. They seem to be holding up well which is what I was mostly worried about. I think same strings in 11's might be the answer on next round.

    GT guitars

    Just curious, has anyone owned or played a GT guitar?
  20. I got em. No sound so I've got to try again. I may have mistakenly mentioned lace sensor pickups but it's Wilkerson mini humbuckers. If anyone is bored could you tell which color wires go where. Red, black, green/yellow, blue/white. I'm tempted to say I know where red and black go but maybe I'm wrong. Plus it is a set up for split coil. That shouldn't affect much but maybe I'm wrong.i usually am with guitar electronics. I haven't been soldering much last few years so I didn't even think of tinning. Thanks.
  21. Topic probably done to death but what is the one piece of gear you have regretted letting go of/or stolen. Me? My first guitar that I eventually sold after keeping for 14 yrs. '66 Gibson SG. Incredibly loud acoustically. Some tele player probably has it. To this day I refuse to ever consider buying another SG because it would only remind me. I think I gotta go write me a country song.
  22. Multi. Screw shreds the wire. This particular wire is not 22 awg. Now I'm thinking one of those metal wire/terminal tubes that get crimped. Dont know if I got one small enough, (wire connector!), to wedge into terminal(whatever it's called) on top of the pot. Thanks, this has annoyed me in the past but eventually got it to work without using too much wire. Lace Sensor's aren't cheap
  23. How do! I remember power chords, fabulous beasts they are. Can't really use them much anymore with open tunings, but I remember them. Learning Scorpion songs via cassette. Anyone seen Michael Scheinker?
