Topic: NGD--Again.

Scored a Gretsch Electromatic at a pawn shop in Webster, Mass for 200.00. No scratches or dings. A little clean up and some new strings are due. Once again, picture is on FB. Any help getting it here would be great.

After all you've been through in the past year, we're all glad you can find a little "pick me up" like this.

Re: NGD--Again.

Electromatic. A lower end model. Still a good price though.It`s in great shape.  Thanx so much for posting the picture.

Nice guitar and, from the gleam in the eye of the model displaying it, I think she might want to claim it as hers. smile

She played it and likes it. I lose more guitars that way.

You got yourself a "Special Jet", which has those nice, fat-sounding humbuckers of theirs. What a great find ... and what an amazing deal you got!

This has recently started happening to us as well.  My brother has my classical, and my daughter has claimed Jim's Fender acoustic.

Happy NGD!  Hey, at least you have a reason to get new ones when people steal the old ones, right?

What constitutes excellent music is in the ears of the listener.

Re: NGD--Again.

Cleaned it up. Found a few scratches and dings. Put some .10 flat wounds on it. Now it plays and sounds sweet. Fortunately for me, Gabrielle (the trout) doesen`t care for flat wounds too much.  I use them all the time now on my electrics. Not to keep them away from her. I just prefer them.  She "adopted" the Fender Duo Sonic that I restored 2 years ago.
