Sgt. Pepper

I had a '57 ES-225TD. It was a student guitar, would not stay in tune and was vintage. But vintage does not mean it was playable by any standards. Sold it hope the next owner enjoyed it. I didn't.

Some guitarists are rich I am certainly not one of them.

Isn't is fun when you open something and it is not what you expected?

Is that case as big as your house?

That is great. I saw them in '82. It was loud and The Clash opened and were way better that day. I was a squid for 4 years and then switched to another branch and retired an E-8. The Navy was fun but I had enough of there BS and the 2nd branch I joined life got a lot better.

I grew up in the Bay Area and I'm pretty familiar with The Dead. I 'm not baggin' on the Grateful Dead, I love the Grateful Dead saw them 13 times (the real Dead not ever with John Mayer always with Jerry). Compared to The Beatles like you say that is a pittance, when they weigh in at a mere 177 million just in the States and worldwide top over 600 million. Hell I have 8 different copies of The Beatles aka The White Album, 7 different copies of Pepper and about 5 different copies of Abbey Road. I have them in all different formats. I would have 9 copies of The White Album but my friend about 30 years ago borrowed my 8 track version of it and never returned it. I listen to music any way I can. Live, CD's, Vinyl, XM radio, and it the car it is just to easy to yell at Alexa and get something played hands free while driving.

Taylor and Mariah are established acts. I'm not a fan, but I'm sure those two women want for nothing and could live the rest of their lives comfortably and never sing another note.

Man that is b-itchen. I wanted to Part out a Thin line Tele with the F-hole. I saw EJ play his sig Strat with an F- hole last year. Winner all day long.

You got a Strat? Can't be played right unless your on a Strat.

I had an SG Std from the 20?? I bought used with a PC board. I ripped it out and started from scratch. So your out 4 pots and 2 caps and some wire. The jack and switch should be there.

Tommy E tix have been acquired. There may be balance in the Universe again. Floor Row G. Maybe Tommy could toss me a capo. I would sleep with that under my pillow.

Where are pics of your new Martin?

The Grateful Dead ( the real one) didn't. They never sold albums , they just toured and toured and then Jerry died. The hippies in the parking lot took care of the tye dyed t-shirt sales and Owsley. They were on WB got dumped and then started their own label, but it folded. Then they signed to Arista, and of course they toured.

I saw one on Black Friday, and they had the LP model as well. It was way up high locked up or I might have gave it run through. It was on the very top.

Like my topic says I'm going just not happy about it. Its next year some time April, May June. Not sure. Usually I am in charge of buying concert tix, but since this is her special dude, she took over the honors. I helped out an tried but once I got in queue, the site said that 2000+ people were ahead of me and she was already in queue. I guess in one why I am lucky cause my wive loves to watch sports, especially football. Even though this year I am not interested as much as I usually am, and my team is a total train wreck this year and has been for a long time. Chucky was supposed to be the savior again but is a clown and I'm not happy they rehired him back a few years ago.

I wonder if it was those huge fish bowl size shareable ones. That would be impressive at 4. That would really be like 8+ 'rita's.

I know I will be changing it on a regular basis when I get bored with the current one. I just picked that line cause I've been playing that album alot.

4+20 by CSNY. Its really Still solo on that song. He's tuned DADDAD. Next is the Suite. For Judy Collins aka Suite Judy Blue Eyes tuned EEEEBe. That intro is so easy and cool.

I went in and headed for the acoustic room. Played a nice used J-45. Then a used Eric Clapton Martin 000-28. Wow. I think there was only one or two other Gibby acoustics on the wall all locked up. After a few trips back and forth the sales associate I got sick of asking to get stuff unlocked. Bought a boom mic stand for a present and I was off. They had a multi-colored LP and SG and they were locked up way up high. The only cool vintage thing they had was a pancake Norlin LP Deluxe. Locked up of course for 5k.

Shoulda had a taquito or two or one them quesodilla's.

Just looked on Reverb and $2500 was the lowest. There was one in Japan for $2200 but they wanted almost $200 to ship it.

I'm in on Virtuoso. I've got the cleaner and polish.

If this is your budget. Your looking at a Studio. If you find any kind of Std or Trad for that price in good condition jump on it.
