Howdy!  Welcome to Chordie (as I haven't made it around to that yet this evening).

  Hit the "Artists" tab at the top of the page and you will want to go to M under "Misc. Christmas".....   In there you will find something like 7 versions of the tune listed and I'm sure one of those will be similar to what you have learned so far.  If not, you can change the key up or down in the transpose box on the right side of the screen to get it into the chord signature you are using.

  Again welcome to the largest and possibly friendliest guitar site on the net, happy to see you are making yerself to home.

Check your in-box!

Sorry Bro.....   Nothing but a big black screen of nothing.  I'm thinking it's a Beta Crash Site!

  Anyway it's got my curiosity peaked so I'll check back from time to time for a look-see.

Welcome Aboard!

  You'll find a lot of us hanging out around here, so make yerself right at home..... at least speaking as another aging hippie type.
Did you find the tune you were searching for?  Also make note of the transposition feature on the site as it makes it easier to change key and select alternate instruments (at least the common stringed ones).

  Not everyone around here has the guitar as primary instrument though, there are a few keyboarders, dulcimers, drummers, bassists, fiddlers, and yes a few brass blowers.  Still trying to figure out what that trombone is doing sitting over in the corner of my music room...????  It showed up about thirty years ago, about the time the wife moved in.  I dust it once in awhile but really don't know what kind of sound it makes, haven't been able to get the little woman to pull it out of the case. 

Take Care & don't be a stranger;

Of Course it is!

But opinions vary.... and most posts are speaking from practical experience, so are of good value compared to some salesman's spiel.

Welcome to Chordie!

  I get the beach reference, but what about Lake Mead?  Boating, fishin', water skiing, and something like a beach with a lot less surf and no Sharks.  Good memories of Vegas, although it's been a few years.

I think this was written by David Foster and Boz Scaggs, released on Boz's Harbor Lights Album and used in the film Urban Cowboy in 1980.

Somewhere in my archives I have the original score from the album, but I also do not find it here on Chordie under Foster or Scaggs.

My copy (if I can find it) is a piano score, so not much use to guitarists unless you are musically inclined that way.  Good song though, and I'm sure it is out there somewhere.... If I find it I'll send you the link.

Good Hunting!

Sperzel machines don't use a screw mount, but they are a locking type tuner that might fit your guitar.  It is wise to check the specs to make sure they will fit without having to do any woodwork etc.

They are a high quality machine and not inexpensive at around $60 a set from StewMac.

To my mind, Acoustic is Acoustic.... A/E guitars should sound as good un-plugged as amplified.

BUT, when you are shopping and have a budget, find the best sounding guitar you can in your price range and don't let the lack of a pickup dissuade you from the purchase.   Some time down the road it is possible to install a pup without breaking the bank.  My personal favorite is K&K Sound's Pure Mini at around $125 US.  Put a set in a Taylor and it sounds as good or better than the Factory Installed option at considerably less cost.

As usual I am also going to stress that you put your own paws on as many as you can, and play all the candidates.  Sometimes you will find a real sweet sounding instrument that fits you well without spending as much as you planned.  So shop around!

Greetings Artless,

  Replacing the saddle and pegs without doing the same with the nut, is not uncompromising..... thrifty perhaps.

Re-doing the fretboard inlays and details of the rosette, might be bordering on pretentious though.  I'm thinking that ancient Ivory is harder than the hubs of hell and will cost a bit of time or money to get done, but should really sound sweet!

In any production run you will encounter "blems".  However, they will usually be graded as such in the final inspection and sold as such with deep discounting.  I say that with the gouge in mind however..... as for the finish cracking, it might be just that the environment they were transported in or stored was not stable enough and those defects developed after GC had purchased them.

There is no way of knowing for sure without getting the serial numbers and checking with the factory.  Anything sent out as "seconds" would have records to support them.

Good catch though, and another reason it is always best to get your paws on any instrument that you are thinking of buying before you lay your hard earned $$ down.

I see that you have been a member for awhile, and posted this in a couple of places. 
Do you know who wrote it or recorded it to aid in the search?

The more info you can provide, the better we are at finding what you are looking for..... even a few words of a lyric line might get you in the area.  There have been a few tunes based on her story and it is hard to determine which one you are after specifically.

Take Care,
Doug
