Hi Rondena,

It is not that no one wants to help you but there are three problems with your request.

Firstly: The guitars in question are an obscure manufacture so the chances are that very few of us (if any) have every played one. I have never heard of this make before.

Secondly: No two guitars are the same, even identical models from the same manufacturer can play and sound different.

Thirdly: As Doug pointed out; how a guitar sounds and plays is a very personal thing and what one person likes another hates. I loathe Gibson guitars, they feel like a brick in my hands and they never sound sweet to me, but many people will swear that they are the best thing since sliced bread.

I can only suggest if you know someone who plays, and you like the sound of their instrument, take them to the store where you have seen them and let them handle them both. Even a righty can assess the action of a lefty guitar and get an idea of the tone for you.

Thank you Joe. That is extremely kind of you.

Zurf, there is no trade agreement between the States and Portugal so, not only would I have to also buy a hard case and pay to take it on two airlines, I would have to pay Portuguese import and taxes. I am told that the customs authorities are not concerned what you paid for an item, they will assess a value and charge you one third of what they think it is worth. Not a good system, except for the government.

As requested by our Musicator Extraordinair

Amy and Steph.

OK, I bestowed Bill's title. We do not do this very often, Moderators can change their own and, just once in a while, one of us will feel that a Member should have one for whatever reason.

My reasoning: Bill invented the musicate word and a person who musicates must be a 'musicator'. A person who is 'out of the ordinary', remarkable or extraordinary can be described as being 'extraordinaire'. I admire the way Bill handles and confronts his condition that I, for one, dread ever happening to me.

Bill seems to think that he does not deserve it. I think he does. What do you guys and gals think. Should he keep it or should we remove it?

Scott, is it this one by chance: http://www.chordie.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=18523

OK Bill I wondered if that is what you thought but that is the guy who developed the PunBB software that Chordie and many other websites use.

Chordie is the brainchild and was developed by Per Egil Kummervold who posts as admin@chordie.

Hi Bill,

I am glad you enjoyed last night, we had a blast. Jim and Amy are excellent hosts, I renewed my acquaintance with 'Dirty Ed', met 'UncleJoesband' for the first time (he brought a 12er with him which I played several times) and met several of Jim and Amy's family. I am looking forward to seeing more of the area and getting some serious photography done. .

By the way, I see you posted your age in this one. In one of your messages last night you mentioned that you were older than I. I am afraid I am 3 years older that you my friend. Third of May 1947 is my birth date.

That glow in the sky is me blushing....

The location was correct. The relaxing was most definitely not!! After being on my feet for 20 hours with very little sleep on the flight over the pond my final flight was delayed and hour and a half (on top of the 4 hours I was expecting). I was desperate to get some shuteye but dare not in case I missed the flight.

Thanks for the patience in waiting for me, Amy and Jim, and I did not notice that the room was pink. I will go and look now.
