thx1136 Posted September 7, 2001 Share Posted September 7, 2001 Tedster, I thought mine was strung wrong when I first got it (bought used in '73). Wrote Rick and they said that was the way Mr. McGuinn and Mr. Harrison liked their 12's strung. I left it alone. It does allow the octaves to ring through more to my ear, but I'm somewhat delusional. Yeah, the tail piece is a bit wacky, but I can usually slip my pinky under to guide the string into the place it needs to go. (got skinny fingers eh) That would have been a good show to see Lee. Saw the Byrds back in 73 or 4 when all that was left was McGuinn and Carlos was playing drums. They played with Commander Cody and the Earl Scruggs Revue. Still enjoyed the show, but would have liked to see the Crosby, Hillman, Clarke, McGuinn line up or even with Gene too. ------------------ Visit BooneRock.net - Play the Rustech Blend'r-great amp, great tone!

Don't you know that Leo Fender reached perfection in 1961 with the stratocaster. (Olympic White) http://www.musicplayer.com/ubb/biggrin.gif How the hell are ya man. By the by - all of the support from you Brit's regarding the Trade Towers shure is amazing. On Top of that it seems that your Tony Blair is quite a stand up fellow. Tootle pip!

Mats Olsson. Posted September 25, 2001 Share Posted September 25, 2001 It's got to be translucent, Plexiglass. Or sunburst. Or natural wood. Or ? No, this is impossible - it depends on the look of the guitar and all the hardware. /Mats http://www.lexam.net/peter/carnut/man.gif What do we want? Procrastination! When do we want it? Later!

GuitarMan Posted September 25, 2001 Share Posted September 25, 2001 PINK Yea that's right buddy I said pink! ...You gotta problem with that? I have a pink strat that I played for yrs Some big men thought they were gonna give me trouble 'bout it. I just tell 'em that if you don't like pink... you got somethin' wrong with ya... some of my best friends are pink... and their names ain't floyd neither. I still use pinky a bit but I left Strat land about a yr ago to go back to Gibson. On my gigs I mostly play a big 'ol sunburst ES 135 nowadays. ...It was a hell of a transition weening meeself of Strats...way worse than quittin' smokin' ...but the effort has been worth it. Don't get me wrong...I love Strats...still love 'em ...but there's so damn many Strat stranglers out there that I just decided I wanted something different I had this 135 sittin' around for years gettin' paid fer doin' nothin'... had to change pickups(p100s=shit) And now I'm a happy guy... really have fun! Oh! Oh! the Central Scrutinizer says it's time to go! Bye. http://www.mp3.com/TheBottomFeeders Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DC Posted September 25, 2001 Share Posted September 25, 2001 I've got a couple of natural acoustics and a couple of sunburst Gibsons, you know the old bit with no red. Most of my electrics are black, altho I had an artist air brush a red highlight around a black custom guitar that I made which is shaped sort of like a Musiclander. Also made a really silly guitar out of a Carvin neck on a stick with alder wings. I painted the thing metal flake sapphire blue and put a pearloid 'mother of toilet seat' pick guard on it. Pretty happinin' thang, that one. -David http://www.garageband.com/artist/MichaelangelosMuse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trash Monkey Posted September 25, 2001 Share Posted September 25, 2001 Darn, am I ever glad to talk about guitars over here. My favorite color is one that got stolen from me. It was on a 1984 Rick 360wb/12, and was Azureglow (pale blue-gorgeous) I had a 360v64/12 made for me last year in turquoise with an R tailpiece instead of the trapeze. Its even cooler really cause its got toasters in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rog951 Posted September 26, 2001 Share Posted September 26, 2001 On a strat? Seafoam green. On a Les Paul? A faded cherry sunburst with lotsa flame. What else is there? http://www.musicplayer.com/ubb/smile.gif None more black. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
