Any guitar players on TW?

This was buried. Akai DPS12. Should still work.

 

I'm old and I like old shit.
I got the pack rat shit from Grandfather. God bless him.
"Dont throw away anything you might use 30 years down the road".. lol!!

 

Oh my. Thats awesome !!

 

I miss my Grand Dad. God, lost him when I was 12. I'm 41 now.

 

Ugh, cannot shake the cobwebs out of the fretting hand today. Some days are just like that. Thinking a heavier guage string, still have the stock ones it came with. 9's I think...

 

53 here.
Granpap passed in Nov "96" The 22nd.
I refer to that day as The triple Threat Day.
Granpap passed.
Got layed off. (From the job im currently at for 22 years)
Final divorce hearing from the ex.

Grams.....well Grams lived a perfect, healthy Life up until this past sept 30th.
She was 97. My Pops was driving and hit a light pole (power steering or some shit went out. Allegedly.) with her in the passenger seat.
No seat belt. Hit the dash and died from pneumonia.

Havn't been home to Ohio since memorial day this year.
Not sure if i'll ever go back.

 

Same, except I'm 46 now. Grandad use to kick my Z50 over for me when it was new, and the compression was too much for my weak little legs. He was a carpenter. Had an old acoustic and electric out in his shop that he probably got from a reno job. Wish I had kept them. They were probably junk, but I've wondered for years about what they were, and whether I could make them playable today. They were probably Sears junk, but I like to imagine they were a 20’s era D28, and an early Stratocaster.

 

First real fender I have ever played, I took it home. 2016 USA tele. Neck should speed up with some playing, amazing tone. Had to have some single coils in my collection and get back to my roots, give the prog metal a rest for a minute. My main axe, LTD MH401FR is mad she has to be moved back a slot on the rack!

 

I have a Taylor and vintage Yamaha

 

I like the reverse headstock!

 

My Taylor is my go to take everywhere guitar.

 

He sounds like he was one cool ass dude. Bikes, guitars, working with his hands. Mine was a medic in the military WWII, Korea, and Vietnam. I miss his stories and how he smoked a pipe.

 

Hard to believe those big, calloused hands belonged to such a gentle, kind human being. He raised a son who became the best father a boy could ever hope for. They’re together now. Miss them both very much. Seems like a good time to put down the iPad, and pick up the acoustic.

 

quite possibly... i need to thin the herd out. i think the top 3 about to go would be this Ibanez, a white ESP Eclipse, and possibly my LTD M-302.

 

If you ever owned one of these amps, I understand your struggle.

 

I forgot who mentioned the movie "The night eats the world movie". Watched it last nite. Worse movie I ever saw. So many questions.

 

Just picked up a Martin LX1 off of Kijiji, the Canadian equivalent of Craigslist for almost 200 bucks less than retail, not including sales tax. Thing is mint, we'll set up, new strings, owner had a pick guard put on it, and threw in a Corg tuner. I can bring it with me to work, and will be great for killing the hours in a hotel room when I'm sitting on reserve away from home.

 

Beautiful guitar

 

Finally had my ESP HRF restrung and tuned up by a pro this summer. Now the weather has changed and I have a little fret buzz again. It also goes sharp after sitting, but it has always done this. Is this normal?

 

Thanks Brian. How are the bar chords coming?
