An Epiphone De Luxe Masterbilt. A big Arch Top. Pics on FB. Normally I shy away from Epiphones. Acoustic Arch Tops were never my thing. I never cared for how they sound. This one changed my mind altogether. It caught my eye. As soon as I picked it up, it felt special. I played it for quite a few minutes. In typical JJJ fashion, you can guess the rest. If you think of Epiphone`s as being cheap beginners guitars, try one of these out. It will definitely change your mind
Nothing better than an NGD. Nice Bass.
Welcome to Chordie. You are now in one big happy family. I`m the hoarder of the group.
I saw this the other day and thought of you JJJ.

I promise that I will not buy A Martin D 18. There is a Rain Song that caught my eye though.
Is that this one:
That`s the one.
This time it is a Gretsch Black Falcon Acoustic-Electric. After selling My USA Tele and MIM Strat, I chose that one. I played a White Falcon Acoustic and didnt like the feel of it. The Black Falcon Acoustic felt a lot better. Except for color, they are identical guitars. Every guitar is different though. This was proof of that. I still have a store credit towards whatever I choose next. It is still at the store because they had to order a case for it. My next stop today was in a rather unsavory section of Worcester. I would rather wait a couple of days than find it stolen out of mt car.
Every time I say no more, ................ Sometimes I will find a guitar that is dirt cheap with a good hardshell case. So I buy it for the case. One time I had to buy the guitar and amp for $30.00. I wanted the amp. The amp was worth a lot more. I sold one for $100.00 and took another guitar in trade. I listed it at $150.00 hoping to get $100.00. That is when the items come to me. Lol.
Do you really want me involved in this conversation?? First it has to catch my eye. Then I look at the price. Is it good enough for me to make a profit or at least break even if I decide to sell??. I always do research with my phone. Believe it or not, I walk away from a lot more than I buy. How does it play and sound?? If it feels good in my hands. Is it a brand that I want. I mostly try to find Harmony, Kay, Silvertone and the other cheap guitars from the 60s. Then I go for Yamaha, Gretsch and Fender. If it meets those qualifications, I will buy it. For those of you that have thought that I buy anything with strings, you couldn`t be more wrong. There is a lot of thought that goes into it. Half of the fun is the hunt.
It is a phrase that can and has been used in many instances

That's a real beauty, JJJ ... gotta be a poem / song written around that one. With your permission, I'll see what I can come up with.
Great stories, everyone!
It is a Nick Lowe song. Not about guitars. That is where I got it from. The song ---- Ones too many and a hundred aint enough
Just one more is too many and a hundred isn`t enough. Lol.
How can you speak such blasphemy.?? The answer to your question is "All Of Them". .I did read the article. I am also thinning out my collection. 4 have been sold. 6 are on consignment. The money from the consignment goes toward another guitar.
.
I've sold a few recently too. I'm down to 11 now.
I`m aiming to get in the low 20s. The one with the stickers isn`t going anywhere. It has served me well for 33 years.
I`m selling 4 more guitars. A MIA Tele California series. An old Harmony electric. Ibanez Artcore and a Yamaha SJ 180. I have multiples of these models. The Harmony I took in trade for one I sold. The money is being saved as a store credit. It is going towards another guitar. Maybe a Gretsch or a Les Paul. Plus I need the room in my house.
Poor Chris! Alright, so no more fainting. Stay away from all the beautiful people. Take it easy. Get some rest. I don't think this is a valid enough excuse not to make it to BYG 2018. I mean, that's like, 7 months away and I have some SPARKLERS to put in a CAKE!
Get better!
Chris basically said last night that I am going even if she has to tie me up and drive me herself. I guess I should take that threat seriously. Lol.

She may have to drive the whole trip. Which means using her car. That`s a long ride to be a passenger. Especially without my car. It`s not bad now being chauffeured. The novelty is starting to wear off now. She lives a half hour away. I`m used to picking her up. Not the other way around.
I want to go. I doubt it though. It doesn`t look like it is in the cards. Hopefully things will change.
Im interested. As you may know, I can`t drive for awhile. Are there any airports around?? If I had to fly. Any motels in the area??
I just restrung it. It will need a setup. It sat unused for around 30 years. Gave it a quick clean. Will have to do a heavy duty cleaning on it in the future. As soon as I get a ride to a music store, I will take it for a proper setup. I am saving a lot of money on gas though.
Think to yourself, what would JJJ do?? Then buy it. For $50, you can`t go wrong.
this time it is a Yamaha FG 110. Dusty and scuffed but still in good shape. A little thing like not being able to drive won`t stop me. The guy brought it to me. Got it for $100. Some new strings and elbow grease will bring it back to life. Pictures on FB. (hint for the picture fairy). Thanks in advance.
As you are always such a good boy I am happy to put your picture here for you. - P.F.
I am not allowed to drive for 6 months. Now I should have plenty of time to play. NGDs will be few and far between. BYG may be questionable this year. Note-- It isn`t for a DUI or anything like that. I have to go 6 months without any fainting spells before I can drive again. Wish me luck.
I live in The Commonwealth Of Massachusetts. The winters are rough. The big cities have a lot of crime. We do have the best accents in the whole U.S. Ask anyone that has spoken to me.
Happy new year to you
