There will be a good story here...all mahogany 1957 Goldtop - that's my kind of guitar.

Re: Swagger of bursts
I once missed a great deal on a Rick 230 from them. Saw it online and it said overseas buyers please call and it was the wrong time of day, so I called back the next day. Guy went to take it off the shelf and when he came back to the phone he said so sorry but I didn't realise, it was sold half an hour ago. Gutted

Re: Swagger of bursts
Easy. Hands/chops any day. Don't need a flash axe. As much as I'd like to make a living from my creativity, I'd rather have a higher degree of mastery of the instrument to be able to express the crap in my head...whether anyone else gets it, I can't control...but to get it out with expressive eloquence and mistake free fluidity would be, for me, a life worth living

Yeah, but you never got to try the drugs. Bloody teaser vid, that.
Beyond a critical point within a finite space, freedom diminishes as numbers increase. This is as true of humans as it is of gas molecules in a sealed flask. The human question is not how many can possibly survive within the system, but what kind of existence is possible for those who so survive.

I wouldn't want actual hands grafted onto my arms. Then I'd have four hands.
In life, don't sweat the petty stuff, and don't pet the sweaty stuff.

Dude...I'd take the four hands deal. Then I'd have I'd have 15 fingers of fun, fanging fun!

I've met some fine guitarists. I've never met one who didn't look up to others as superior.clubhouse wrote: ↑Mon Nov 01, 2021 5:31 pmEasy. Hands/chops any day. Don't need a flash axe.

I feel that already so I'll take the burst. That way at least I'll have half a million dollars I don't have now.
And given my apparent relationship with Les Pauls, it will remain in its current condition.

Re: Swagger of bursts
Just longer fingers, or even just a pinky finger that isn't stubby, the rest of my fingers are long enough.
Not that it would tidy up my ever-increasingly sloppy bedroom playing, but at least I might be able to reach a couple of things I'd love to be able to play.
The older I get, the more disappointed in myself I become.

Re: Swagger of bursts
Similar boat to what I'm paddling here...big palms, chod fingers. I call them meat slabs with frills...o and then I had the genius idea to chop the end of my left hand, pointer finger off!Danger Mouse wrote: ↑Tue Nov 02, 2021 7:47 amJust longer fingers, or even just a pinky finger that isn't stubby, the rest of my fingers are long enough.

Previously, I could just mangle a 5 fret spread on a good day...but now, even an open/cowboy C chord is a major grab! I'm working on it though, like a Beatles chord: using middle, ring and pinky...little wins
