To everyone. Thank you for all the support. One thing. I am not looking to stop completely. Just cut down. My friends. Nobody pushed me Friday night to do anything. I guess it is safe to say that all my friends are on my side. Last night I was drinking apple juice. Played for about an hour. Almost flawless. Not out of the woods yet. Still have to get checked to find what is going on. Chris has been great through the whole thing. She keeps on me to watch myself. My other friends have my back too. When they found out what happened Monday, their whole atittude changed. 18 months ago, I wouldn`t have cared. A lot has changed. I guess I have to change with the times. Thanx again

Topic: Recreational Habits ??? (9 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
It`s time to start rethinking my Recreational Habits. After spending the whole day in the hospital yesterday. Luckily, I had Chris to drive me and stay with me the whole time. I also have to face up to events in the past 2 years. This may have been the kick in the butt I needed. I have the full support of some of my friends. Some won`t like it. Wish me luck. Time to try a different way of living now. Starting yesterday.

Topic: NGD x 2. (16 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
This time it is an 02 Ibanez Artcore full hollow body. Plus a 97 Fender Tele California series MIA. No pictures yet. I took them right away to Union Music for setup. The Ibanez shows some signs of use but still in great shape. The Tele definitely has been "Experienced". Got the pair for $1100.00. The price they were asking for the Tele alone. Truthfully, I said that I was through buying for a while. But an Orange Tele stands out in a crowd. I guess that didn`t last long.

I believe there's a mathematical formula that Joey uses to calculate what can go into that space....... it goes - room area size x 2 /divided by the # of guitars/ (x + c)2=x2 + 2xc + c2 ...... a = √(GMa0/r), if c = bread machine and x = cash on hand
Lol. Now it is a couch, a chair, 2 end tables. 2 lamps. A TV on top of a cabinet. And a really nice hardwood floor that was underneath. My dining room is another story

Joey, your Plectrums were Thomastik correct? I also had good results and long life from the sets I have used. The Thomastik Enfeld strings are a bit spendy, so this last time around went for D'Addario Flat-Tops in the FT .012 set. I find them fairly quiet like true "flat wound" strings but with a bit brighter tone..... they seem to be holding up quite well so far as sound etc. So you might consider them for a change.
I was trying to copy and paste part of your comment. I have never used flat acoustic strings. They are all I use now on electrics. I was wondering about tone loss. They do sound enticing. If I find a set of strings I really like, I don`t care about the cost.

Ah well, at least Facebook had the good sense to just mute you for a couple days rather than ban you completely. Frustrating though I'm sure. Interestingly enough, I manage a facebook business page for work and we simply ban people from posting on the page rather than report them to Facebook. I wonder why the person didn't just report you to the group and have them remove or ban you. I'm surprised Facebook didn't just suggest that to them as well. You must have said something REALLY bad! I didn't think FB's moderation was all that strict! You'll have to send me a msg and give me all the details when you get access again!
I will show you later this afternoon. When I am out of FB jail. Lol. Someone was asking for memes on a certain. I supplied 2. Quite a few people got reported. You know how my sense of humor is. I have been banned before. I am sure it will happen again.

Re: Man! I LOVE Gretsch's And...... (10 replies, posted in Electric)
I have 3. Love all of them. An Americana series(acoustic), solid body electromatic. (very heavy). Plus, a White Falcon. So nice, I am afraid to take it out and play it. For what it`s worth, it is everything it is built up to be. Also a Dorado 12 string . Gretsch`s version of Epiphone or Sigma in the 70s.

Re: How Often Do You Change Strings (9 replies, posted in Guitars and accessories)
I change them when they are pretty much completely dead. Anyone that knows me here will understand this. It is easier for me to change guitars than it is to change strings. So I always end up with a few that need changing all at once. That is when I break out the tools and go on a "String Changing Marathon".

Re: Hollowbody Styles "?" (9 replies, posted in Guitars and accessories)
You should try out as many as you can. You may end up with something completely different. Don`t forget used. You could get a lot more bang for your buck. Ibanez Artcore is a wonderful guitar. A friend just bought a Gretsch. Full hollow. He loves it. I don`t know the model. My Gretsch is great. It is basically a case queen. A little too great that I am afraid to scratch it. Don`t rule out pawn shops, craigslist. This time of year, they have a great selection
