The Friendly 12bar Blues Guitar Forum

:lefty: :amp: After about 2 years of being used by a friend that had a accident that took one of his fingertips ( yup left hand righthanded guitar player), Red , my London City Spitfire MK2 is back in the house. And! When I'm not able to use the loft during day-time, because my daughter has night sh...

Welcome here.

Damn it - see what I've been missing!!!!!!! :yikes: Regarding the first post and the "short thingie", yes, the HBL sound still exists. The quality is there - big style! :clap: Very beautiful sounds from the Hondo - that guitar has great tone, but i know a lot of that is coming from the player. A to...

Yes, great! Just reading the comments, 11 years ago, including Jim :dance: (Around 5 min there's a great lick!) I know about Jim’s comment. In a way this is a repost from me. Thing is I love this rendition. The guitar sounds so awesome. It got me to recreate the sound of my first Epi Dot using my s...

Listening and trying to play this one : https://youtu.be/9ug7Bgab1uQ

Nice

When I put the guitar about 8 cm above the horizontal pipes it was already aged.
If you look at the picture at the body at the end on the righthand side of the pic, you’ll notice where I repaired and glued the shrunken top.

By the way, this old Hondo acoustic guitar is beaten, battle scarred and has been stored above the heating pipes in our house for about 5 or 6 years. At the time I put it at it’s retirement spot. I tought repairing what was needed was way more than was logical. Still I cared for my old trusty guitar...

Actually, the first three seconds are enough to know who's playing. So IT is still there.

Haha, thanks Gerd :)

Time to have IT learn it's lesson and work like old times

Fenson : No I didn’t stop. Just had looooong periodes I didn’t play due to major discomforts. Thanks for listening

12Bar: glad to see you stating that, after 14 year of HBL sound you ought to be a good judge on that.
Thanks.

Really liking this track you made Gerd. Awesome sounds

Hey there. Still alive, trying if I can get back in action

Just a random chord sequence and some notes. ( short thingie)
In this case it's all about the question if HBL's sound still exists......

Happy holidays to all

Yup I still have it.

Here are my two cents in listening :)
