I don’t know. If they call me and tell me to remove it , I can easily do it. I’m not selling it. I would think they have better things to do with the state of their finances than chase me down

Topic: NGD - I made it myself ! :) (11 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
My friend that I taught with for 25 years retired and I gave him my Les Paul as a gift.
I was missing it one day and decided to build one.
This is what I made. It has 2 Dream 180 Humbuckers. It sounds really good to me.
It was really, really, really hard to make - a lot of thinking - angles and alignment etc.... a lot of patiencea lot harder than making the strat. Here are the pictures of it finished. I was going to upload some of the work photos - but it took much data space.
The wood is layered - Cherry on top, Walnut in the middle, and butternut on bottom.
the neck plate is an engraving of my three daughters..
I learned a lot about the workings of a Les Paul in building this. If only I could play well ! 
Thanks for looking at these

He is an amazing musician - wrote so many hits all over the world.
As a soccer player and coach who played all through the 70's I remember his song BACK HOME for the English World Cup Team very well.
It must have been really cool to play and have him sing with you - absolutely amazing!!
Way to go Roger !!

Re: monster rock and roller (25 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
OK
Here at Mojo Sporting Life - we take our customers opinions and suggestions very seriously- and try to accommodate them all !
This is a superb product.
However, this is the final version because of two reasons:
1) This really is the best there is !
2) there's no more resources in the factory as the labor has all disappeared riding on the inventory !
(especially after adding the mandatory Texas Gun Rack to all 4 wheeled ATV vehicles!
Hope you enjoy your new product !
P.S. For your safety, our modern technology has developed a system in which the weapon will not function if the keg and/or cooler is in operation or the seal on the JD Bottle is broken !

Topic: Concert (6 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
My wife and I went to see Chicago and REO Speedwagon last night at Saratoga Performing arts center in upstate NY. to celebrate our birthdays and 35th Anniversary which all happened this week.
Chicago was excellent, their instrumentation was mesmerizing. Some great songs. BUT, REO SPEEDWAGON brought the house down - absolutely fantastic.
The joint was rocking!
This band has been together for 46 years!!
Amazing energy- great rock music, and showmanship that was out of this world.
From the middle of the first song - the crowd was on its feet for the rest of the concert - amazing, amazing, amazing, amazing, amazing, amazing, amazing, amazing, amazing !
If you get the chance to see them - GO !

Topic: hUMBUCKER help (4 replies, posted in Guitars and accessories)
ok i NEED SOME ADVICE HERE
I am in the process of building a homemade Les Paul 1959 style guitar.
I have the body pretty much done except for the neck pocket. Which I hope to make tomorrow.
I need to know what humbuckers ( Bridge and neck ) would be good ones to put in and yet be somewhat reasonable in price.
If any one can give me some tips and point me in the right direction I would greatly appreciate it. It was so much easier building my strat than this baby, but if I don't screw it up, I think it will be awesome.
Thanks for any help
JIm
PS
Don't get too technical bc I really don't know much about them

Is Bass easier to play than a regular guitar ?

When it says "chorus" - what exactly does that mean ?
I am assuming it's not back up singers !
