Re: NGD !!!!

I do like the colors!  Congrats on your new baby, Jim!  Once upon a time I thought I'd try to figure out how to play one of those electrical dodads too, but I'm not doing too well!  I hope your New Year resolution works out!  wink  Grace us with some music!

Art and beauty are in the eyes of the beholder.
What constitutes excellent music is in the ears of the listener.

Re: NGD !!!!

That's a real beauty, TIG ... congratulations!

I don't often see Tele's with a pair of humbuckers, and I'll bet it can really growl. Probably the most noticeable change going to electric from acoustic is dealing with the extra sustain. You'll quickly catch on to various muting techniques so you can control it.

Re: NGD !!!!

TF
Yep, when I saw that set up with the HH I knew that was the one I wanted.
Ironically - I haven't even played a note yet as I have been so busy with basketball games ( I coach a high school team) .  I'm looking forward to Christmas break tomy be getting some time in to play around with it.  I am using a Fender Frontman Amp  so it should sound decent.

Thanks for the comments from all.  They only drawback was that it did not come with a bread machine.    JJJ I have many more buys before I can come in to your level !! smile  You are the guitar NGD King for sure!
