A Gretsch Corvette. It was gretsch`s version of an SG, except the top horn stuck out a bit more. The balance was awful on it. If you didn`t hold on to it,The neck would fall down and you would be playing air guitar in an instant.T he Burns tremolo would put it out of tune if you breathed on it too hard. I wanted a Gretsch so bad I bought the first one I could find after months of searching.The 2nd was a fender coronado. Something about it just wasn`t right. I sold them both dirt cheap. 150 and 100. Today they are worth a lot more.If I knew then

Re: multi neck guitars (12 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
I played an old Ibanez 6-12 string once. The 12 string side played like a dream. I put it down right away. I could feel a case of GAS coming on. I didn`t even try the 6 string side. As far as a doubleneck mosrite goes. Has anyone ever seen a Moserite that wasn`t dripping with cool. No matter how many necks it has.

Topic: Yamaha 335 (3 replies, posted in Acoustic)
2 years ago my daughter gave me a yamaha fg 335bl (black) for fathers day. I restrung it but it still leaves a lot to be desired.It is the lowest of yamaha guitars but it was a gift from the trout. Is there anything I could do to make it as good as my sj-180. Bridge pins, set up, new nut. I hate to have it sitting in a case all the time. The reason I got it. I saw it at guitar center and liked it. My daughter saw a dean V coustic that she liked even more. I could only afford one or the other that day. We came home with the Dean. My wife went and ordered the yamaha for me so she could give it to me for fathers day. It looks great.Black with gold hardware.It just doesnt feel right.That is why I want to fix it up.Even if I have to spend more than it costs.(within reason).

Topic: My wife now has a motor scooter (18 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
Last night I surprised my wife by buying her a brand new motor scooter. she always wanted one. My point. I still don`t have a 12 string electric. I still drive a 20 year old junk pickup or 14 year old junk explorer. Was it worth it. YES YES YES. She is like a kid waiting for a new toy.It still has to be delivered. Probably the same way I felt when I drove up to Maine to pick up my red strat. Has anyone ever had that feeling? The anticipation of getting a new toy. I`m sure it will be a long 2 weeks for her. Unlike my used old things. She got to order the color she wanted. I still feel good giving her gifts. Especially when she least expects it.

Re: sound hole cover (6 replies, posted in Acoustic)
How close are you standing to your amp. Try standing away from the amp first.It could be the cheapest fix.It`s almost the same as when you hold a microphone up to the amp.If you keep a distance,it will be cheaper than a soundhole cover. Oh and never fill the soundhole with Rice pudding.

It is an old malady. LSD, = Lead Singer disease. happens a lot from what I hear.
Joey maybe its time you and Bass playing friend look for a new singer? Or did I understand that you 3 have worked out the problem and all is good again?
We did work it all out.In a case like this,diplomacy works better. We joined up with the singer,he didn`t join us. The lead singer in one band(that I started) did the same to me by rescheduling so I couldn`t make it.He knew my work hours and conveniently changed all rehearsals to my work schedule. Then to add insult to injury,he invited me back at my schedule when I got a female lead singer for awhile. I politely declined. When I had something he wanted,I was welcome back. I try to treat people like I want to be treated. Sometimes it`s an eye for an eye. I try to avoid that. I come out stronger in the end. Oh, and thank you for the support. Imagine if the whole world was a chordie sight.

Topic: I feel better about this. Doing the right thing. (7 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
After a hectic sunday,things are falling into place today.I had planned to participate in the jam sunday,but our bassist didn`t show and the singer didn`t want to do it with no bass. He wasn`t too pleased about him being a no show. I tried to speak up for him but he didn`t want to hear it. He put an ad up for another bassist and I didn`t cooperate with him.I said I wouldn`t do anything behind his back. Told him to do me one favor, if you want to replace him,you do it. After thinking long and hard,I let him(the bassist) know what was going on. I told him that I didn`t like when it was done to me and I wasn`t about to do it to him. Besides he is a friend and he deserved to get better treatment than that. If he was going to find out,it would be from me and not some sneaky way. Either way he is staying and he thanked me for being honest with him. It was one of those moments that I didn`t enjoy.Sometimes I guess in a band,things have to be done that arent enjoyable. I really hated to have to tell him about the situation.I also feel much better that I told him and didn`t conspire behind his back or force him out. It`s nice to know that I did the right thing.Days or months later,I won`t be thinking I wish I didn`t do that. I know this can be a cutthroat game,I don`t want to play that way.
