Trucks Posted February 23, 2006 Share Posted February 23, 2006 Rather than buying a horribly coloured lefty... All the cool lefties buy a righty and string it up the other way... Should be alright after you sort the intonation and all that jazz... AND you get the added BONUS of people lookin at you and saying to themselves "look at that guy, thinks hes jimi freekin hendrix" coz we all know Jimi was the only lefty to ever do this.... well maybe not but slightly OT question... why do people always associate a left handed guitarist with Jimi???? Wtf has Jimi got to do with being left handed? Apart from the fact he was a lefty as well. Its crazy i tells ya.. just crazy.

The knobs being on top (under your hand) makes it easy to tweak the controls - perhaps easier than stretching your pinky down to the usual spot. The flip side is unintentional knob twirls, but if you commit to it, you can adjust your technique. Buy my CD on CD Baby! Bill Hartzell - the website MySpace?!?!

Chad Thorne Posted February 23, 2006 Author Share Posted February 23, 2006 Flipping a righty over is a pain in the butt as far as I'm concerned. I've done it several times and probably won't again. The knobs hit me right on the left forearm and are very distracting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BadLife Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 Chad, Just so you know I sent the abused LP custom to the guy at Guitar ReRanch and he redid it back to black. I also have bought some of the Nitrocellulose Lacquer that he sells. I still have a guitar that I need to complete. Paint it it's fun. IF you mess up you can always do it again.

It's the sort of thing you wanna keep around in case the kids don't finish their veggies. "Freddie, if you don't eat all your broccoli, I'll show you the LP Jr!!" It's kind of pus coloured isn't it? I've just found an article that says it was never used on TV, it was just a popular furniture finish. http://www.guitarattack.com/FM_TV/FM_TV1.htm Band MySpace My snazzy t-shirt empire Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Geoff Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 yes - I read the article - interesting. That would have been a pretty little guitar had it not been TV Yellow....... G.

ihategarybettman Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 I love sunburst finishes. When I was looking for my Tele, I knew just what I wanted: the Nashville variety with three pickups and a brown sunburst finish, much like Buddy Holly's Strat.

The name for that colour is "aged ivory" Speaking of finishes, what did you all think of those paisley guitars (strats and teles) Fender put out in the 1980s?

I thought they were nice, but a bit uhmm... well, I don't want to use words reflecting people's sexual orientation but, you know... *ahem* IIRC, Yamaha put out a similar idea at about the same time: their guitars had a large perspex cover (like a huge scratchplate) under which you could slip photos. That idea bombed too. Band MySpace My snazzy t-shirt empire Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Gug Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 I HATE HATE HATE tobacoo burst. My uncle, who tried to teach me guitar for two months, had one. It was a traumatic experience. We'd do lessons down in his basement full of thoroughly-road tested, smoke-filled gear that just REEKED of stale smoke. It went through the 60's and most of the 70's in bars and frat houses and wedding gigs. I'd play my momma's-boy nylon string classical guitar and he'd play this tobacoo burst 335-type thing and he'd smoke right in my face as he was forcing my poor pinky to the high E-string to get a G chord. Aaaahhhh! MOMMY!!!!!! Sorry. I'm back. Anyway, he was grumpy and stinky and so was that tobacoo burst monster guitar!

Eric Iverson Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 Grumpy and stinky? At least his guitar matched his personality! Weren't Grumpy and Stinky two of the seven dwarves? I'm not up on my Disney! I hope my nephew John doesn't consider me grumpy and stinky! Now you've got me paranoid! Thanks a LOT, Mike! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Gug Posted February 25, 2006 Share Posted February 25, 2006 Just don't take a drag of your Marlbro and have smoke blowing in your nephew's face when you say, "What the hell are you trying to play?!" And make sure there's plenty of ventilation in the dungeon. After that, you'll have nephews lined up out the door!
