Nela,

Thanks for all the info!

I think I'd rather have a plain, satin finish, but that guitar is purty!

I like the sound and the one at my local shop seems to play nice.

I have heard of other people "boning" their guitars, and I have questions:

1. How much does it cost (can I do it myself?)

2. How does it affect the sound and/or playability?

I really appreciate your input. It is always good to talk to someone who actually owns one. The more I see and hear, the more I am leaning towards this guitar.

Thanks, again!

I just want to hug your neck, Old Doll.

Nothing more blue than un-told love, secret hurts.

Bless your heart.

Awesome tune.

I hosed myself when I first started, two years ago.

I had a Mel Bay book from which I learned my first three or four chords, and it showed the "F" chord played on the first four strings, so I never even knew there was such a thing as a barre chord.

Once I learned about this whole world of pain, I had learned "F" and "Bm" open chords, and just "cheated" my way around them.

Now I am going back and learning how to play the barre chords, because I have realized that I am missing a lot of music by not being able to play them.

A professional once told me that there is no "illegal" way to make a chord, so there is no such thing as "cheating". I live by that!

"clinkers" are what give our songs character, James!

Each installment is a unique work of art!

(at least that's what I keep telling myself )

What can I say, Topdown, I'm like a tootsie pop...

beneath the hard and crunchy shell is soft and sweet inside!

I did put the Carpenters last...

Howdy, clansman. Hope you have as much fun here as I am.

You will find a lot of folks like us, who didn't start until later in life. (I've been playing a little over 2 years and am 40 y/o). You are in good company!

I hope you stick with it!

A limit of 5 on an "of all time" list is kind of tough:

1. Kiss
2. Beatles
3. Rush
4. CCR
5. The Band

Okay, I put Kiss before The Beatles. I was still young when the Beatles were in their prime. Kiss was more my speed back then. I didn't really start appreciating The Beatles until my 30s.

My next 5 would be:

6. Led Zepplin
7. Rolling Stones
8. CSN&Y
9. Aerosmith
and, my guilty pleasure:

10. The Carpenters

(there, I said it).

Thanks, Doll, I tend to be obsessive, which doesn't help me limit my time on stuff once I get immersed.

Hopefully the newness will wear off while my wife is still speaking to me, and before my daughter gets married!

MM - Thanks, I would like to record Pocket Aces. As soon as I get my computer act together, I'll get it posted.

Oh, and BTW - Whatever is on my site, is for the consumption of all. Please feel free to download or record your own versions to your hearts content. (It is actually an honor that anyone would want to do that!)

No offense here, Strat!

How boring would life be if we all agreed on everything all the time!

Hey, there, guitar slinger. Hope you find as much fun here as I have!

Obviously, the size of the box has a lot to do with it.

I am thinking of buying a jumbo. The first time I played it at the music shop, I wanted to turn the volume down! And I thought it wasn't only louder, but warmer, too.

Me likey.

I think my guy has it for around $650.
