I definitely want in. Hopefully I can figure it out by then.

They are easy to change.I just hate the noise that roundwound bass strings make when they go through the tailpiece. Once you get experienced to changing strings,its easy. But after 30years,I could never get used to that noise. That and rubbing 2 poker chips together.

I had to follow my own advice today.Restrung 2 strats and an epiphone dot studio.I was on a roll until I ran out of electric strings. Bought 3 more sets today.My usual brand.Whatever is cheapest as long as they start with a 10. Ended up with DARCOs.Still have 2 more electrics to do and a few acoustics.The problem with multiple guitars is that they have to be restrung eventually.

Nothing worse than hurting your hands or fingers.My knees are really bad from being hit by a car 30 years ago.Being fat now doesn`t help,but it is still better than hurting my hands.Hope you get well really soon. Still can`t get the skype thing working.I now have some kind of tabloid site.Just think 24 hour gossip site.

It`s amazing how underated some people are.Roy Clark and Steve Martin are two examples.Underneath the comedy are 2 fantastic players.Others are Stephen Sagal. Another great guitarist and Charo(remember her).Underneath the hoochie coochie and tiny dresses is a classical guitarist. there are more but the post is about steve martin.

You can always get what you have upgraded.A good setup can do wonders.My yamaha played awful after 25 years of playing.A good setup and 65.00 later,it was better than ever. Like the old cliche: stick with the devil you know.

True, Mine looks like it went through the wringer.I paid 125.00 for it in 1984. It was damaged in shipping. The headstock was broken and the neck had a couple cracks going lengthwise. It was reglued and has held since.Plus the body had some scratches and dents from the same mishap that happened. But it played like a dream. Perfect size,a little smaller than a dreadnought. It is also covered in stickers.Most I put on,some my daughter put on.I was going to take a hair dryer and heat them off but I see it as a trip through time now. From a 1984 WBCN sticker to an apple cinnamon cheerios sticker that came on the box.Muppets,hello kitty, narragansett beer,bible quotes. Something for everyone. As great as they are,mine is still an sj-180 that is damaged and covered with stickers.  If you can find one in good shape,grab it.It is a great utility guitar. Where a martin is a cadillac, an sj-180 is a ford pickup.

WARNING: buying guitars can become addictive. Buying amps can become addictive. Not from the surgeon general,but from anyone on here. If anyone can prove me wrong, do it. Symptoms: go into a guitar center and try not to look in wonder like a 5 year old at toys r us.All those toys but you can get only one.

I tried to play by ear,but I couldnt get the pick to stay in my ear.So I think i`ll continue to play with my hands. (I COULDN`T RESIST THAT ONE, THE DEVIL MADE ME DO IT). Remember Flip Wilson used to say that

For some reason,nylon string guitars seem to always turn up in antique stores. I just saw an old silvertone for 85.00 last monday.Take some time and you may find a deal on one.Don`t leave any stone unturned.
