Re: De Faoite Guitars - Terz Parlour

I'm so glad your dog is OK. A good friend of mine lost her dog to a rattlesnake bite last year. It happened right behind her house. That is a lovely little guitar. I like parlour guitars a lot... In fact, the only flattop guitar I own is an old Regal parlour guitar. Good luck with your house. I'm (s...

Re: Eric Clapton 2018 Cologne concert review

At least you got to see him live. My only Clapton concert experience was back in the early 80's... It sold out before I could get a ticket, so I went to the stadium hoping to get a ticket from a scalper (or sneak in :wink: ). I had no luck so I stood outside the doors and listened to the show from t...

Re: MY 3 PRS Beauties (Dots, Moons & Birds)

Three beauties! :thumbsup: A good friend of mine had a McCarty from the lat 80's or early 90's that I played frequently. It was a fantastic guitar, and his favorite in his collection.

Re: R.I.P. Matt Guitar Murphy - dead at 88

I was lucky enough to see him play in a bar in Oklahoma City, back in the 80's. He played an amazing set, then took a break. I approached him at the bar and introduced myself and shook his hand. He was friendly, but so drunk he couldn't speak coherently. I talked to (at) him for a few more minutes, ...

Re: NGD Rivera Custom P-93 (3 guitars in one)

Very nice! I've always liked those. I love P-90 pickups. I have two guitars epuipped with them, a Casino and a '52 Gibson ES-125, both of which get played often. If I had room for another guitar, a Riviera would be high on the list.

Re: When is a tele not a tele

Nice. I've never seen a Parker "Tele" before. It looks good. The only performer I ever saw playing a Parker (Fly) live was Bluesman Corey Harris, back in the late 90's or very early 00's. I was kind of surprised to see a traditional blues artist playing a solo gig on the most modern guitar...

Re: General Data Protection Regulation - GDPR

I'm sorry to hear about this... I am not particularly active these days, but this forum has an important place in my heart.

Re: Gibson could be facing bankruptcy!

It says that it can't determine the dimensions of this post and asks me to check the url. I tried both loading the file and dragging and dropping. It has been doing this for a while, and may be because of my crappy internet connection.

Do you get an error message?
I tried it with the attatchmen function. I keep getting a yellow triangle sign when I try. Is there a size limit?

Re: Gibson could be facing bankruptcy!

Full disclosure... I own two Gibsons. A 1952 ES-125 that is all original except for Grover tuners and an ebony bridge, and a 1969 SG that has no original hardware except for the pots. Both have been refretted (the 125 by me :yikes: ). I use both of them, but my Epiphones and my vintage Stat get far ...

Re: Gibson could be facing bankruptcy!

Seems to me that Gibson has priced themselves out of business. I recently played my Sheraton (around $700) back to back with my friends flame top Gibson 335 (around $3700). Same amp, no effects, same settings on the amp. The Gibson was pretty (very!), had a bit nicer fit and finish (the binding cove...

Both of these are quite nice. :clap: Only a few notes and it's clear who's playing, that's the difference to a copycat. I agree. Congratulations on singing while playing... Not an easy task.

Very nice Spanish sounds in this thread. I don't play it, but my father was a very accomplished flaminco/classical player. This thread brings back fond memories. :D
