New (used) Guitar Day

[tsp17]

the Millie i bought from Brent showed up last night.  Haven’t had a lot of time with it yet, but man oh man this is a great guitar!  Brent comes through again!

Minty fresh, like it has been played very little.  Tuners still feel new.  Sounds more like a semi-hollow because of the chambered body, which is exactly what i was looking for.  No feedback issues but still a big and round enough sound for jazz, soulful blues, R/B, and fusion.   My band has been getting loud and my archtops often feedback.  I guess I’ll be one of those players that switches guitars depending on the song.  Yes, overkill for the kinds of gigs we get, but it will give me more flexibility to get funky or louder jamming and use some drive/breakup when the moment calls for it. Just plain FUN.  I’ve been playing straight ahead for so long I’m ready to get down and dirty before i get too old.

I’ll post some pictures over the weekend, but they probably wont be as good as Brent’s.  It really is as gorgeous in person as it is in the photos in his for sale post. 

Thank you @brentrocks for the great transaction and fast shipping, well packed as always.

I also got it a friend: a UA Enigmatic ‘82 pedal.  They make a great pair.

@tsp17...Awesome NGD review.  There's something magical in a well made, chambered gitfiddle.  Play it in good health.  👍

So, pay it forward or play it forward?

This guitar is a monster player.  Playing it with three different amps, with and without a drive pedal. Sounds huge and beautiful no matter what it is paired with.  I had to stop because my ears were ringing.
