    I like stuff. But some stuff I don't like that much.
  1. Yes, I've got a beautiful '79 model at a guitar show in Arlington, Texas in the mid nineties. It was standing right next to a Rickenbacker 4080 doubleneck 4/6 like Geddy's black bastard from the 70's. When I saw those two side by side and I was in heaven. I wanted to run up and hug them both. So I did. Like a crazy person hugging a block of cheese. Then suddenly I realized that my heaven was short lived and I was in the Uturn lane because both of those beautiful beasts were the same damn price. Luckily, I chose the right one. If I had gotten the Ric, I woulda never gotten the 4001 I got the following year, which I really wanted anyway. But thats not what you asked. My EDS 1275 is the brownish color and it's the style without the super long 12 string headstock. It's the shorter, more proportionate kind. But I forgot your other questions. Oh. The type of music I play with it. Well I haven't pulled it out of its case in a decade, but most of the stuff I played was kinda like Pantera meets some dude who should be beaten with his own guitar. I would fool around with the tradional songs you're supposed to play with that guitar, but I'd mostly play heavier stuff on the six. What do I like about it? It's mine. And it is beautiful to look at. I think of it as more of a novelty than a serious addition to your toolbox. Unless you're writing songs like Stairway and California and you need to be able to do them live when you start your world tour. Or if your in the club scene doing covers. The guitar does add two marks to the universal coolness scale just for having one. And you can pretty much bet that at least 3 drunk guys are gonna say something stupid about the neck to arm ratio. And as far as being top heavy goes, try stringing about 200 helium filled party balloons. Dither that or a really thick and stiff strap that you've beenwearing since high school on a good heavy Les Paul. Its already bent into position. And right now theres this sweet little thing standing in front of me, so... Yeah. I'm gonna do what you would do, so I'm signing off. Later, fellas.
  2. Hello, just curious, so what are the things you like?
