Are the picks still over indulging on haggis and single malt or are they wandering again.

Just bumping it.

Nice when you sort things out youself before we are able to help. I see you have been with us a while but lurking in the background, so welcome to the forum and don't be so reticent in the future.

My SX strat copy which is plain varnished timber finish has always been 'The Plank', the new Yamaha strat copy is 'Hank', the Melody 12er is 'Mel', the Fender acoustic is 'My Gal' and the Samick Barcelona Classical is as yet un-named.

Hi Russ,

As you know I have just rebuilt a Yamaha 'strat' and the biggest problem I had was getting a real good finish using aerosols. Unfortunately I no longer have access to a compressor and spraygun and so I am seriously thinking of taking the body to a car spray shop at some time in the future to get it redone.

Christmas 1958 I got a plastic 'Elvis Presley' 4 string guitar from Father Christmas and I learnt on that until the plastic frets wore down but then had to figure what to do on a guitar with 2 too many strings on it. I have just about got the hang of it now .

I have just had a reply from Per and he is OK to let this stand as a one off but would be unhappy for this to become a standard way of posting chords. So for now it stays.

I know that as a 'Beat Box'. I sold one to a gypsy boy during the summer so I had a chance to give it a try (well I had to tune it up before he took it [good excuse don't you think]).

It certainly was a fun bit of kit and the sort of thing that anyone can use to join in at a jam session.

Your post got me curious so I 'Googled' Pignose to see that not only do they produce a range of amps (battery powered, rechargeable and mains) but I was surprised to also see a guitar with built in amp:

The Pignose PGG-259 is a deluxe mini electric guitar, finished in black with gold hardware, silver pignose volume control, a 24 1/4" scale, 22 fret bolt-on maple neck with a rosewood fingerboard with a Pignose amplifier and speaker built into the body. The 1 watt on board amplifier runs on a 9 volt battery. A 1/4" headphone jack allows the guitar to be plugged into a normal guitar amp.

Hi CCB and welcome to Chordie,

Same title, different artiste, may be the same song though: http://www.chordie.com/chord.pere/www.g … 86959.html

Curiously in the UK 'sus' is "sustained" but I am at a loss to to offer any explanation why .

Hi Jerry,

I think that Professor Topdown has the answer when he posted this:

What you have experienced is a well known scientific condition in the textile industry known as texticular atrophy (or shrinkage). It is a well known fact that textile products (defined as the production of yarn, and cloth and the subsequent design or manufacture of clothing and their distribution) will shrink from lack of usage. This occurs at a molecular level and cannot be prevented.

Obviously he has taken the time to conduct a scientific study of the phenomenon and sadly there is nothing that can be done to prevent it. However I do wonder if he took your situation into consideration as, from a layman's point of view, steam could also be a contributing factor.

Roger

Hi Toots, I hoped you would see this as I knew you would sort it out.
