Any guitar that feels right in your hands and sounds good to you is fine. I have friends that will go in raptures over Gibson and Gretch electric guitars, I would not thank you for either make.
A guitar is personal to the individual.

The worst guitar I ever had was a 1967 Gretsch Corvette. If it plays easy and you feel comfortable, it is a great guitar (like Roger says). Don`t let the name on the headstock sway you. My favorite is a beat up old yamaha sj-180. Probably worth about 30.00 in the shape it`s in. It feels good, sounds good and I am comfortable with it.

Topic: What`s in your toolbox? (9 replies, posted in Guitars and accessories)
How many keep a special tool box just for your guitars? What do you have in it? The lemon oil post made me think of this. I have a bottle of lemon oil. Some chrome polish. A can of furniture polish. ( I know that a lot of people frown on this, but the music shop where I go to said it is ok. It is the same as guitar polish except for the smell). A can of Johnsons Paste Wax. 2 chamois cloths. 2 screwdrivers. A set of mini screwdrivers. Toothpicks. # string winders and an electric string winder.A tuner. Extra sets of strings. Extra bridge pins. Extra tubes. And some other spare parts I will probably never use. Oh also, the toothpicks are for pushing the strings through on a strat when they don`t come out. Plus the Gibson guitar care kit I wasted my money on to begin with.

Re: Oiling fret board (26 replies, posted in Guitars and accessories)
Whenever I change strings I use lemon oil on the fretboard. Right over the old strings. Then I wipe that part of the fretboard after I remove the old string. I also wasted 20.00 on the Gibson guitar care kit. A tiny bottle of lemon oil is called fretboard conditioner. A tiny bottle of guitar polish and a tiny bottle of metal polish. A chamois cloth that says Gibson and a tiny brush. A big bottle of lemon oil is available at Walmart for a lot less. Along with all the other products.

I know how that is pete,but one of my grandaughters finely got interested in piano and is now taking lessons,my other two are sports minded,they got a new Fender acoustic in thier bedroom just gathering dust.
It must be a thing with Fender Acoustics. I gave one to my niece to learn on. She never did learn. It now sits in a closet collecting dust. It was one of the better one`s. Not the new cheap ones they sell now for 90.00.

Re: Guitar lead (12 replies, posted in Electric)
When it comes to cords. You get what you pay for. I just had a cord give out on me after almost 28 years of use. Back then I balked at paying 20.00 for it. Sometimes you get lucky with a cheap cord.My cheap cord broke. I needed one fast so I bought a coiled cord at radio shack back in 1983. I still have it and it still gets used.

Re: Your towns best known band? (26 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
In the Worcester area when I was young (the 70s). There was a band called FATE . They had 2 cover songs on the local AM radio station WORC. If you didn`t like them, you were considered to be a communist or something. Then the big thing, DUKE AND THE DRIVERS, they just came out with an album on ABC records? They played a dance at my high school right when the album came out.
. Then if anyone remembers ORPHEUS. They had a big hit called Can`t Find The Time. And the Road Apples. They had a big hit on Polydor called Let`s Live Together. Then in 1978, the next town over (Shrewsbury) had a rock concert in Dean Park. After that they did not allow any more rock concerts and wouldn`t allow an up and coming group to play there. A band called The Cars.

Is she selling the acoustic V? I hope not its sooo cool to see that picture of her with it. espically if she is going to be getting her band stuff going on.
Actually it is going up for sale. She has only used it once in a school show (Can be heard on youtube) from 7th grade. She doesnt like it because it cant be played sitting down. Along with her pink squier strat. No high end pieces are going. Also, one of the Basses are going too. A squier or silvertone (newer one, not a sears) . If anyone is interested, I can show them on skype. Or my number is listed without giving too much info.
