Beautiful guitar DBlues. IIRC, you sold it because of the neck. The top also has mineral streaks and, at that time, some here considered the streaks to be a bad sign; it is not a bad sign. With a little research you’ll find mineral streaks are indicative of maple grown in wet areas where the ground has plentiful minerals. The maple that grows best in wet areas is the red maple AKA swamp maple. A fair number of ‘59 Pauls also have mineral streaks. I’m not at all opposed to mineral streaks and even covet them; so much so that I’ve planted red maples in the wettest terrain at the ranch for the next generation. That’s my, long winded, way of saying Happy New/Old/Refurbished Guitar Day. She’s a Looker!

You ought to get a P90 guitar to round out the goodness…

Rapid and drastic changes in temperature and/or humidity check lacquer.

Nothing too serious, this time. Just a cracked fascia. I was focused on the road and when she jumped out, I slowed expecting her to continue on. It looked like she was trying her best to back-pedal so I ventured into the other side of the road. I wasn’t quite quick enough.

Golly. When I intersected with a local deer while on a 55mph road last Thursday it never occurred to me that I was increasing the value. I feel better.

Only if she’s: Tall and tan and young and lovely.

Hurrumph.

Just outside that 9lb territory. Nice…

I would think of all the players I know who might cotton to a 575, you would head the list. That’s a darn shame.

Beautiful! Happy NGD. Nice snatch BWB!

And how Spanky…

I saw the same except his eyes were open and he had blue eyes. Kind of looks like Marv.

Like in my statement that you quoted, they are coming tomorrow. I do not have a week. And what does "Do Dah…" mean? Edited Thursday at 04:45 PM by MelodiusThunk` Was Gregg (Steiner) not I that started the "Do Dah" - so all I could relate to was cartoons from the 1950's - sorry just having fun with the flow. Spectrum13, you hit the nail on the head; it’s good to have folk one can count on. When it was mentioned the banjos might be coming back, all I could imagine was that big, old rooster whanging away… Why would you say that? Do you know something that your not telling us? I bet you know. You’re too well read; I bet you’ve unearthed the answer and you’re not willing to let it out. Spill the beans bolero… You own banjos and are not familiar with Do Dah?! Shame… As far as PSP, you will find out once you’ve been placed in double secret probation. Take your time…

Wait a week. I NEED a Heritage bespoke banjo! Do Dah…

And a Glorious “over 50” it is at that.

Acquiesce to pressure.

I’m reading this and agreeing with all. The irony is when I try to describe high-gain guitar to guitar muggles, I use Doobies’ China Grove as an example. I additionally dime the gain to play Without You. The brown Fender in TR’s picture above looks to be the same one Ronnie Montrose used on his first album. The songs you’re approaching eljay are cleanish that can be approached by lowering amp gain levels together with guitar volume. And as far as the NGD goes: Nice Snatch!

Nice… you’ll be happy. Nice Snatch!

I probably devote more time than I should to amplification. There’s something there that interests me deeply. Being at the MuZeum is a thrill to see the breadth and depth of Dr. Z’s creations and interact with the likeminded kind. The greatest pull is the volume of stories and background attached to each amp. As many times as I have visited, I continue to learn. There is a Lot going on; I truly enjoy both the information and the way you deliver the truth.

It’s difficult to express how much fun it is to visit the MuZeum. Being back to back with PSP helps to draw parallels. If you like amps, a trip to the Z-Fest is mandatory. It is every bit to amps that PSP is to guitars. Good people, great sound, good times! IIRC, RJSanders said: “Boutique amps for boutique guitars! Many Thanks to Jaguarguy and the folks of ZTalk!

That’s not fair! You should have kept it. If you go DB, I want to join - please.

Crank the AC15! That’s their beauty, you get that luscious, cranked beauty of a stressed circuit without blowing out the windows. Hence the recommendation: Play Loud!

This IS music to my ears! Big week coming up; guitars And amps! Thank You Jaguarguy.

Hi Jaguarguy, thank you for the generous offer! I intend to do my very best to join you and the Z mavens. For the HOC - this represents an opportunity of a lifetime. The Z people that attend this festivity are akin to the HOC members. They are welcoming, knowledgeable and passionate about their amps. Jaguarguy has assembled a collection of amplifiers, mostly Dr.Z but certainly other premium models, that can rival Sweetwater. While a tad overwhelming at first glance, the majority of attendees will help walk you through them; just like the HOC assists newcomers with Heritage models. Over, above and beyond that, Jaguarguy provides a comfortable setting for the event and is the most gracious host I’ve encountered. His muZeum even rivals PSP for fun and friendly interactions. Highly Recommended.

Oh yes. That looks like a whole week of fun and gains. Happy NGDs!
