Freebird Posted January 5, 2011 Author Share #51 Posted January 5, 2011 I think it would be great to jam a little one night at Maintenance Day. Somebody will have to lead it as I'm strictly a beginner and will just play along with the others. I hope that any of you who play, will think about bringing your guitars, dulcimers, banjos, whatever. I usually have about 3 guitars around so if you can't bring your own, you are welcome to use one of mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aussie Annie Posted January 7, 2011 Share #53 Posted January 7, 2011 Tommy Emmanuel is the most un-believable guitar player...he can make that thing sing He is currently doing concerts here with his brother, who is also an amazing player. Tommy has been using the same "favourite" guitar for years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freebird Posted January 11, 2011 Author Share #56 Posted January 11, 2011 Folks, I'm figuring out that this GAS (guitar acquisition syndrome) is a real problem. I'm finding myself searching Craigslist in every new city that I happen to be in. I bought the Washburn last week in Dayton, OH. It's a really nice guitar but just doesn't quite do it for me. So, I now have it for sale on Craigslist. Then I got to Indianapolis today and ran across another guitar that I really do like. It's NOT a high end guitar but WOW....it plays fantastic and I love the style. It's basically a hollow body in a Telecaster style. I've been playing it all evening here in my hotel room and this one is a keeper. Not that I wouldn't possibly add another one at some point....not soon...I don't think.

Freebird Posted February 11, 2011 Author Share #64 Posted February 11, 2011 Well my guitar trading continues. I may find exactly what I'm looking for sooner or later. I sold the Washburn electric a while back. I sold the Cort electric this week. I am now going to try a Taylor Solidbody Standard electric. I know all about Taylor guitars but not a lot about their electrics. I found a great deal on a used one so I can get my money out of it also if I decide I don't like it. It is being shipped to me so now I have to play the waiting game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ddoggma Posted February 11, 2011 Share #65 Posted February 11, 2011 Thats a sweet axe. Purdy too. Say you can swap out pickups, cause they plug in or something? http://www.taylorguitars.com/guitars/electric/Models/SolidBody/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freebird Posted February 11, 2011 Author Share #66 Posted February 11, 2011 Actually it's only the cheaper "classic" that has the pickguard loaded pickups that you can easily swap out. This is the "standard" and has no pickguard. Seems a bit strange that the CHEAPER model has that feature but I like the finishes and etc. on this one much better.

Dexx Posted March 15, 2011 Share #67 Posted March 15, 2011 I'm guessing that the pickups mounted in the pick guard makes it cheaper because it requires less work and and the cavity routing would not have to be as precise. You should get better tonal quality and sustain from the configuration that you chose. But that's not why i stopped by Is there anybody in the Myrtle Beach area that can suggest a good music instrument store. I have found Andy Owings and Star Music and everybody has been helpful and nice, but everything is so new. I'm looking fro one of those places where you might find a hidden gem piled under stuff in a corner. I've been here since september and I'm really missing Buzzo's in Geneseo, NY.

Freebird Posted March 15, 2011 Author Share #68 Posted March 15, 2011 Yes. Actually, they are not pickguard mounted like on the Classic but they are easy to change out. Not as versatile but easy to do. No soldering. They use a Molex connection so just plug in. The top is routed and etc. as on other electrics. Great sustain and fantastic necks though. I am really enjoying this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trader Posted March 29, 2011 Share #69 Posted March 29, 2011 Not sure if anyone has mentioned this before but I found a fantastic site for guitar lessons. www.guitartricks.com Don't let the name scare you...It takes you from "this is a fret and this is how to hold your pick", to basic scales and music reading up to the most complicated riffs and songs you can imagine. There are over 3000 video lessons, which include printable sheet music and tabs. You can select lessons by difficulty and style (country, rock, classic etc) I think it's $14.95 a month or $129 for a year. I have no affilitation with this site...but I would recommend it to anyone trying to learn or improve their playing. I know I'm enjoying it a lot!

BEER30 Posted March 31, 2011 Share #72 Posted March 31, 2011 I sure FreeBird has plenty of extension cords to plug my amp in?
