If you guys can think Taylor Swift is talented, I can like that color.

Is that different than this model?

 

I was so happy to see these three guys freed at the end of “Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom”.

I guess that all of that time in the cave ended up stunting their growth.

Yeah, that’s sharp.  Kind of with the hardware was gold.

fucking donald trump over here.

I’m in Denver this weekend for family reasons and fucked up and stopped at guitar store.  A used Guild D-140 that spoke to me is coming home.  Seriously good guitar for what I paid for it.

This is a sub $500 guitar (used), nothing to envy, but it’s a solid mahogany/spruce dread that sounds and plays really good.

It’s gonna replace my cheap, old black Takamine that was my only guitar for a long time while kids were little.  The one I put them to bed with.  My daughter asked if she could have it and I’m giving it to her.

Nothing you've said here disputes my original premises.  

Consistency is also clutch.  We can always count on you for a good bump.  Like a a horse dealer.

This is about as good a Les Paul/Tele mashup as I’ve ever seen.

  • Author

That’s interesting, it’s so close to almost just a Les Paul but definitely has a tele shape.

 

another random algo guitar company, in the more dano/fano realm -


never heard of ruby guitars before but this is kinda cool. Love the grain on pic 3

 

Can y’all recommend any guitar shops in Seattle?  I’m heading there on a trip soon and figured I would take a look around while there. 
 

Any recommendations for stuff to see or places to eat are also welcome.  
 

The Jimi Hendrix gravesite is probably further than I want to go.  I would consider the Bruce Lee gravesite though.

Same

I guess they sold out.  There were only a few left, and I posted it here as soon as I saw it  

They were $139, which is crazy cheap.

I might call and try to finagle that pricing.  What do you use them for, toms?

Yeah, I think that's the most common use.  But pretty good on Leslie (pair, obviously) and guitar cabinets.  

An endorsement far more credible than mine:  Ian Mclagan walked into a session and saw a pair of 421 at 90 degrees on a Leslie.  He lit up and turned to engineer.  "Finally!  An engineer who knows how to mic a B3!"

Heh.  I had the chance to record him once, and I asked him what other engineers had used on his Leslie.  "Oh, just cram a couple of mics up there."  So I used 57s.

One time at the old Redrum I was singing into a 58 and saw Leslie's asshole at a 90 degree angle.

This rock & roll lifestyle is not what I thought it would be.

One of these arrived today for that new Guild.  Anyone ever install one before?

If you saw the movie “Rock Star” with Mark Wahlberg, specially the scene where he wakes up from some bender and sees the “chick” from the night before standing up to pee, I would say this rock & roll lifestyle is going according to plan.

No but I had one and didn’t love it. Switched to an Anthem. But plenty of dudes on AGF dig them.

Seconded

Everything on their site looks like I’m not worthy to touch it. 
 

That 1954 Strat is almost as much as my first house.

Oh they have plenty of normal stuff too, but definitely go and check out the candy there

I had no idea Mick Taylor was still alive.  I guess he's younger than Mick, Keef and Ronnie, though.

Lol.  Wrong WA guitar shop.  In any case, drop by Emerald City.  They have great top shelf stuff, but as mentioned, they also have plenty for mere mortals to peruse.

Freaky Friday 2 is in theaters and Fender should really reissue the Tele-Sonic

I actually like the songs her band does in that movie. 

My son is picking up the guitar slack for the family this summer.  Most recently, he's been eye-balling the Japanese-made Gretsch Duo Jets.  Anyone have any experience with them?  Advice on getting a good one.  He's in Austin.

I've heard that the QC on Gretch is poor, and you're more likely to get a shitty one than a good one. 

 

YMMV

 

  • Author

What years? It's possible that I'm out of date, but I suspect that the poor QC Gil has heard about is with the Chinese electromatic Gretsches. I have two FMIC era Japanese Gretsches and they are great - they are the professional line Gretsch guitars. I think that post FMIC that remains the same. @AnotherUTFan is probably still our resident Gretsch expert though.

(I’m finna throw ditch or otherwise store everything on that awful bookshelf, don’t tell anyone how I live)

2006. Bought from South Austin Music. Would’ve brought it back for the reunion show in Austin if I wasn’t afraid to take it on the flight.

 

Edited by Celery Man

The last one i bought was a double cut Duo Jet in 2020 and it's perfect. Stay away from the Korean Electomatics. If he buys a pro line, Japanese Gretsch he should be good. Great guitars.

Paring down the collection - and yes, I know that's not what the thread is for.  But life has thrown me a few curveballs, and I'm downsizing to my most sentimental instruments in preparation for a move.  

Selling this I-35 LC with Fralin P90's.  Cheapest used blond on Reverb is 6K, and cheapest new ones are well over 7K.  Surly discount is $3950 plus shipping.  PM me.
