Re: GUITAR PROBLEM (9 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
If it aint broke, don`t fix it. I just bought a 59 Gibson with a crack at the soundhole and neck. It doesn`t affect the sound and playability. Until it does, I will leave it that way.

Re: Wicked weather expected this weekend (13 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
They make it sound like the end of the world up here. It`s going to be rainy and windy. At my job, they are using it to increase numbers. I`m sure a hurricane up here is a wet day down there. The same way a major snowstorm down there is a minor inconvenience up here. I will use the day to clean up my music room

Re: 50 Years ago this week... (15 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
Another piece of trivia. The creator of Rocky and Bullwinkle had a campaign to make Moosylvania a state. The plan was a lighthearted press oppurtunity to have President Kennedy sign a bill to pass it. When they went to the white house they werent allowed in. It was on the same day as The Cuban Missle Crisis. Stupid little things like that stick in my mind for some reason.

Re: 50 Years ago this week... (15 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
In kindergarten and first grade they did the drills a couple times. It kind of faded away. That was back in 1965-66. A piece of trivia. Old radios from the 50s and early 60s had two triangles on the AM dial. They were where you would tune in for further instructions after the bomb was dropped. As late as 1980. The Worcester Telegram posted where the evacuation points were for certain cities. Worcester`s was Gardner, Mass. When I heard that I said I think I will get blown up instead.

Re: GIBSON DOVE (3 replies, posted in Acoustic)
If it aint broke, don`t fix it. It still plays and sounds good. Leave it alone. My Gibson has a crack near the soundhole. It still sounds and plays good. It will stay that way.

Re: Electric vs Acoustic (18 replies, posted in Acoustic)
As far as learning goes. The sounds are different but I think of an electric as a car with power steering and an acoustic as a car without power steering. One thing for sure. A poor quality or badly set up guitar will be hard to play no matter what type it is. I used an acoustic for practicing. Then an electric was that much easier to play.

Re: Ibanez...AEF37E/type of strings (4 replies, posted in Acoustic)
Martin silk and steel or Ernie Ball earthwood lights. Starting with an 11. I prefer the Ernie Ball because the strings are still one to a pack. Martin changed the packaging and I stopped using them.

How long does it take to reset your radio stations and clock. I am willing to bet it is less than driving it to a garage.

Re: WHO PLAYS ON WHAT GUITAR: electric /acoustic (15 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
Acoustic: Yamaha apx-4-a . Electric: 1996 Fender strat. Bright red- maple fingerboard. These are utility guitars. The ones I use with a band. I also have a 1967 Rickenbacker 450-6. Solid body.Try finding one. And a 1959 Gibson acoustic. Plays like a dream. Too many others to name. My daughter (the trout) has 2 main guitars. An Ibanez ae-18 and a 2001 Fender strat with a Humbucker near the bridge. Plus an early daisy rock -rock candy and a squier strat. Plus the squier mini she started on

Re: Another shop bites the dust (8 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
I always go to the private store before I go to guitar center for that reason. There is only one Union Music in Worcester or anywhere for that matter. Where guitar center is like a Wal Mart of guitar shops, Union Music is like Ike Godseys general store of music. The private stores are disappearing fast. I will support them first.

Re: Disaster hits my Taylor 314 (11 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
How much is a new neck compared to replacing the guitar?. Can you find a used one for cheaper? The quote was from Taylor. Did you take it to a quality luthier? It`s amazing what can be fixed when it looks like a total loss.
