It was real nice what you wrote. I am glad that I live, because I had even a cardiac arrest. So I know, how it feels to die

1/ ANGRY, IT IS IMPOSSIBLE, so you really fight.

2/ After the fight, you start to accept the fact that you will leave this world.

3/ Very strange, my opinion: you are becoming very, in a way of speaking, happy to fade away, I also still remember exactly what I said to my former girlfriend, like give my family strength, tell them I love them, and don't think too much, concerning me, because I wknow that I will always be in your mind. I am leaving now, I don't know where, but it's finished, and yes: a flat line. But she screamed so loud, being with me because she's a nurse, that the whole bunch of doctors did a good reanimation, with medication, and the, I always call them, things to iron, clear- nothing- second time again clear, and yes I was back. I did not see a white light, the only thing that was important for me, was french fries. I was obsessed by french fries, that's why I think that you take your last taught with you.

People can say he didn't suffer, EXCUSE ME, I started like they often write, to be transported in critical condition, your body produce "endorfines", = morphine but made by your brain. That is also the reason why marathon, or triathlon fanatics, commit sometimes suicide, lack of "endorfines". But to be honest, I had 32 fractures in MY LEFT FOOT?! and a exploded lumbar verteber (?) in 4 pieces. And yes, I was, like a miracle, very heavy insured, and that also allowed me to buy guitars. But if somebody can cure me, my left leg is getting worse: direction paralysis, I will be happy to give away all my guitars.

Thanks for your support, I hate it to come out with this problem, but sometimes the need is there

I just looked on the epiphone sites, same wood, front, back and neck, but there is a different construction concerning the back. Also, it is so amazing what kind of guitars you can find, brands I never heard about, like TERADA acoustics, I think they don't make them for at least 10 years. Tokai started as "THE" specialist in making almost a twin brother les paul. Imagine that those guitars are now also collector's items?

As I wrote already, too many models. I am born in 1955, and when we walked into the city of Brussels, there was a guitarshop, you had fenders, 1 strat, 1 tele, the tele was even a lot cheaper. You had also Gibson Les Paul standard, custom and sg. It is horrible how the prices are going up for a piece of wood with strings. I have been told that celebrity sellers like GRUHN in Nashville includin other people with an authority concerning guitars, that the prices are almost "artificially" high. AND my opinion, most of the legendary are almost purchased by Japanese people, like a gibson standard 58-60. and it is still a mistery why his more expensive brother, Gibson Les Paul custom, equiped with the same PAF's are "a lot cheaper"!!! in the period 1958-1960.

There are a lot of mysterious things. <img src="images/smiley_icons/icon_biggrin.gif" border=0 alt="Very Happy">

I also do agree, if you analyse the fender telecaster, youare overwelmed by the simplicity of the telecaster.

It is also amazing that companies like tokai, had almost the same copies from every popular and expensive guitars and now, those guitars become popular

<img src="images/smiley_icons/icon_lol.gif" border=0 alt="Laughing">  <img src="images/smiley_icons/icon_mad.gif" border=0 alt="Mad"> We all know Jimi Hendrix, Clapton,Jeff Beck, Jimmy Page. But it is not because they are associated, including Satriani, Vai and Malmsteen that they are super.

Concerning virtuosity: I think Malmsteen is one of the best, no surprise because at the age of 5, he already started to study music, especially classic, which you can hear when he plays, he is even part of his guitar.

BUT don't forget Keith Riff RICHARDS, I love the way he plays, a lick here a lick there, a lot of riffs, and also Robben Ford and the leadguitar player in the underestimated group STEVE LUKATHER, I stick with those two, keith & steve

To answer the question, YES. To be more specific, at this moment you will find a PRS SE EG, with 3 single coils like fender stratocaster. I have 3 different PRS EG's USA made, for 2 years, except for the model Humb-Single-Humb, which lasted for 4 years.

The single coils are placed in domino style and are lindy fralin pick-ups, look their website. A lot of people prefer that model with single coils compared to the sound of a genuine fender strat 1964. You will have a hard time to find a PRS EG USA, and have good luck. Best place to look is eBay, usa (ebay.com), germany (ebay.de), netherlands (ebay.nl) in France it will be an exception, more a miracle to find them. For me as I wrote before is

1) PLAYING

2) COLLECTING

And conclusion is, the PRICES are really getting insane.

For an original Gibson les paul standard 58-59-60, you need to be rich, 2005: up to 200.000$ now, 2007, up to 400.000. Most expensif is the 1959 <img src="images/smiley_icons/icon_twisted.gif" border=0 alt="Twisted Evil">

<img src="images/smiley_icons/icon_biggrin.gif" border=0 alt="Very Happy"> there are a lot of sources on the web and I think, having one, that there are even little devices with the most important chords with a lot of variations in the key of C, like Cm, C7, Cdim, or a good book.

good luck

there is a little printer and also you can change chords, eg too difficult chords. Transpose with semitones + or -
