I only get to play at church or at work.
Guess I shouldn't complain...the wife has that covered already.
Well, I guess at this point the goal is to die with as few regrets as possible.

Ugh...out of all the strings, I hate the G-String the most.
Thinking of learning how to play in alternate tunings just to get away from the ever-persistent problems with the G-String.

Re: NGD: Nagoya 12 string (13 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
Thank you all!
I've decided that I'm going to sell it. Turns out that the high action is from the guitar being under tension for an extended amount of time (Over the years that the customer and his daughter did not play it).
The belly of the guitar is slightly bulged which, in turn, raises the bridge/action.
I could put a butt-bridge on it (The one that overlaps the bottom of the guitar) but that's more work than i'm willing to put into something I won't play much anyway.
I'll leave it to the next owner to fix.
I'm keeping the case though...hehe.

I agree with the other realists here.
There's no point in trying to extend our lives...eventually we all have to die. Why live in misery and neglecting the enjoyment and pleasures of life only to die anyway?
Preservation is pointless if it means denial of the enjoyment of the life we were given.

Topic: NGD: Nagoya 12 string (13 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
Hey all,
Just thought I'd announce the latest stringed instrument to hit my fingers...
Did a job that wound up being shorter than expected, customer offered the guitar for payment.
Why not...
Apparently it's a Nagoya N-12-23 made in the early 70's.
It's a lot harder to play than a 6-string so I may just keep it for vintage sake.
I will probably have it professionally setup and the action lowered so I can actually play it. The way it is now...argh..hurts to fret because the strings are so high.
Can these be played with a slide?

Re: Expensive trip too buy some lettuce (11 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
I had one of those happen.
I was sitting at home relaxing when for some odd reason the wife wants chocolate ice cream.
We have none.
*angry*
So I get dressed in the middle of the night and stomp out of the house, slam the car door when I get in and floor it out the driveway, floor it down the block and in frustration...peel out by accident when I get to the light.
Big fat ticket for me, as the car that pulled up behind me before I peeled out onto the main road......was a cop.
Stupid ice cream....

Lol, I just didn't have time to sit through all the video footage of us from that day to get a cap of your face.
I pretty much had time to review one video and screencap it within 2 minutes in order to get the banner together during a short lull at work.
The next banner submission will be much better with as many faces from the site as I can find...if that's cool with everyone involved.
PM photo submissions and ideas for the next banner submission are lovingly accepted.
