I don`t know how you would categorize me. I like to play classic rock, some pop, hard rock, country. Anything but disco, rap. Feel free to fill it in however you want. It depends on how I feel at the time.

Happy NGD JX3! I really want to see this ceramic kangaroo - is it life size? Does it play the guitar?
https://scontent-iad3-1.xx.fbcdn.net/hp … e=56D73BA6 As you can see, I have a thing for ceramic kangaroos. Made by Fine Enterprises. 1956. The latest one is the one om the left. Not as easy to find as guitars.

It actually has a plug at the strap pin. I havent plugged it in yet to see if it works or not.
I plugged it in and the pickup works. Is that good or bad or original. I have no idea.

Re: What would you do? (22 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
People have let me play their guitars. They didn`t have to. So I have no problem letting them try out mine. They are usually players that have the same respect for a guitar that I have. Plus, I am always there. They are usually extra careful with them. I have to tell them it is a guitar. Play it. If they should break a string, I replace it. If it gets a scratch, it is the chance I have to take. While it is your choice whether or not to let them play it. Don`t be surprised if they have something you would love to try out and you get refused. That goes for all my guitars. Whether it is my cheap Harmony to my White Falcon. I have gotten to try out some great guitars that I would never think of buying. So I return the favor.

Re: What would you do? (22 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
Let her use it. Unless it is for any period of time. If it is only for a song or two, no problem. I have let others use mine without even asking. All they have to do is ask me how it plays. I hand it to them and say "See For Yourself".

I hope the picture comes in. If not, a little help. A Guild D 25-12 BLK. Made in Rhode Island. $50.00 with hardshell case. Has some damage but stays in tune.. Worth getting repaired. Plays well as it is.

If you find yourself lacking a guitar to rehab your fingertips on, there's likely to be one at a pawn shop or flea market you could acquire.
I`ll have to keep that in mind.LOL

With a Breedlove, a Martin, and a Guild, my guitars aren't what you're finding. I do my homework first. She's been supportive of my guitar habit. That said, I have to fit them all in my office, and with the three aforementioned guitars plus a fiddle, an autoharp, three amps, a PA, an electric Ibanez, and two electric basses, I've about reached my limit. There's space for one more guitar on the stand and I'm thinking a Taylor nylon string AE with a cutaway. Or possibly a The Loar archtop acoustic. It's hard to say. I better buy a quad rack instead of a triple and then I can get both.
Hmmm. What was the topic again?
I am still waiting to score one of those for a great price. I target people that don`t know what they are selling. Until I do, I will stick to MIM Strats. Plus, I do have a thing for Harmony`s in good shape. Call it reverse snobbery. I just love the cheap guitars from the 60s and 70s. I could go out and buy one. Half the fun is searching for them. I even ask myself, "How many can I play?? How many do I need?? When I get them home, there is no one to show them to. My "Go To" guitar right now is a Harmony Acoustic that I paid 30.00 for. Go figure.

Re: Guitar Center ?????? (20 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
I go tonGC to look at used instruments. Otherwise, it is like Wal Mart for guitars. I always go to Union Music . Worcester, Mass for anything else. It is a chain of one store. They know me by name. They also have a great used selection. I would rather see them get my money instead of a big chain.
