Neither I am too fond of the cherry red back-sides-neck - would prefer the tomato-hue. This is however a straight looking 1996 Dove, , , which sounds amaziiing. And visually blends fine with the other flyers around it. .

Sad news. RIP Richard.

Victim of Changes - Judas Priest

Hey, , , , wait a minute - I got 1 for sale. A 1959er. .

Rec'd the guard from Terrapin and as I expected there is considerable difference. The top guard is from Holter, the bottom from Terrapin. I must say the Holter guard is much better finished......the beveled edge is done perfectly. Lot more translucent areas on the Terrapin guard, will show more wood and has more consistent straight lines in the pattern. This one was made from a tracing (rather than having the original in-hand) and it is just a smidge smaller.........perhaps a 64th all the way around..........but not an issue as it lays in the footprint just fine. The solid black Dave made is inbound via snail mail. I must admit I've grown accustom to the guitar being 'naked'...................

Here's Jeff and Richard from 2012. This is so good!! (Just let one song after another play. There's a half hour of songs from the gathering on youTube.)

I've been working on intervals lately. Went down a rabbit hole that forces me to think about what I'm doing, or in the case of this morning's discovery, other guitarists playing. A while ago I learned the solo Jimi Page uses on Achilles Last Stand. The one where he takes a run up the neck. I remember reading once that he wanted to create a solo where he used every note in the scale and have it sound remarkable. I love it when I figure stuff out on guitar. Page's ascending run up the neck is fantastic. It's musical genius. It is played on the third and fourth strings and is known as an Interval of a 6th. Starting on the fifth fret of the G string, Page plays C. The he plays A on the D string, 7th fret. Next two notes are D to B. Then another interval 6th, E to C. He continues in the key of C through the remainder of the scale. So, F-D, G-E, A-F, G-B right up to the 19th fret of the D string. It's a beautifully crafted Major sixth run through the C Major scale. Give it a try.

So who ya' putting your money on for the big race? Here's the horses and odds. Kentucky Derby Horses I've got West Saratoga, to win. To place I've got Resilience. For Show, Fierceness

The Fishman’s sound is hard to beat.. I’m curious about the AER Amps.. They’re in their 4th Generation?

I put a Set of Fralin P-90’s in my Casino & they are as good as the Gibson P-90’s in my USA Casino.. That said, if you’re going a Johnny Winter sound that would be Mini Humbuckers.. Sweetwater carries several makes including Gibson.. My Gibson Firebird V has Gibson Mini Humbuckers & they sound great.. If it ain’t broke don’t fix it.. I’d go with the Gibson’s… https://www.sweetwater.com/c965--Mini_Humbucker_Electric_Guitar_Pickups

E-minor I use just the smallest amount on the front side in the middle against the end grain--have never had any issue when removing for adjustments, etc. But that's just me. 🙂

I always liked ELO. Richard Tandy, RIP

If it was Pepsi Clear it would never have caught fire. Or sold any cases.

I heard a few hours ago. ELO had many damn fine albums.

Hide Glue?

Very sad. 😔 https://www.msn.com/en-gb/entertainment/music/he-was-a-remarkable-musician-and-friend-jeff-lynne-pays-tribute-to-electric-light-orchestra-keyboard-player-richard-tandy-who-has-died-aged-76/ar-AA1o0g85

Prehistoric Gay’s almost made me wet my pants.

I need to break out On The Threshold Of A Dream. I listened to Children’s Children the other night.

I refuse to believe that voice is coming from that tragically bald man

the nature of this question is such that the harder you try to answer it, the less credible you are likely to be

When you say FIrebird pickup, do you mean the mini-humbucker? 🙂

Do it! Here's a winner: rct

If there was a Dial a Guitar Prayer hotline, mine would be for Bozeman to come out with a late-1950s or 1960s inspired J45/50 with 20 frets and the big pointy pickguard which sported the non-scalloped bracing Gibson went with in 1955. I really liked the sound of those guitars.

Oh that’s a good looking Dove. Thanks for lightening this bit of the thread. I agree with everything you are saying. I’m sorry the egg experiment didn’t turn out as expected. The folks who got our eggs with their bright yellow yolks, loved them. Assuming the historic site birds were still fed some sort of feed in addition to foraging, I wonder if it was corn-based? The name brand commercial preps usually are. Ours was a local mix of whole grains. They got corn cobs occasionally, just for treats. One amusing thing that set us apart from other firms, for a while, our employees got an “eggs and hamburger” benefit/perk. When we bought our place it came with a dozen chickens (so a dozen eggs a day) and we once bought a 1/4 beef from our rancher neighbor not understanding how many 100s of pounds of ground was involved 😆. We’re just two people! So the staff could raid the fridge and freezer whenever they wanted. Anyway, unlike most farm birds, these ones being tended by misplaced city folks, ours all got to live out their natural chicken lives even after they stopped laying. They were amazingly fun pets. We didn’t realize though they can live 10-12 years. Our rooster was so mellow, he actually liked to be picked up and held. Unlike some roosters, who can be a dangerous problem, he never bothered his girls. If he tried to get frisky with them, they’d just give him a look and sidestep, and he’d start pecking around as if to say, “oh no! Not me! I wasn’t trying anything!” He would always find treats and excitedly bring them over to give the gals. He was a good boy. When the last old girl was all alone, we realized she was afraid to cross the big yard to her loafing bush, so every morning one of us would stroll across the yard with her, where she would settle in safe from the hawks, etc. In the afternoon, we’d fetch her back and she’d cluck and chortle all the way, like she was telling us about her day. They were really great birds.
