He hugged me. We were both wearing Fedners. Awkward.
At least there was a barrier. And I hope you were both clothed?

I have had (have) several Martin's. Gone are a D-35, 2 - D-15M's, a D-18, and a D-28. I currently own D-41, 000-28, J12-16GT and a D-15M. To me that's yukky looking.

Gregg was also good at marrying Cher. But not so got at staying married to her.

Good deal. Biggest thing I've ever Reverb'd is pickups. Selling a guitar must feel pretty good. I don't have any to sell though.

On Reverb I've solded 4 guitars (one was local pickup), one Amp (local pickup) and a bunch of pedals. It has lower fees than flea bay. I have sold or traded everything now and what I have left are all keepers.

The day has finally arrived. Tracking says what we all love to hear "Out For Delivery". I think it could have gone faster by the old Pony Express.

In the last few months I sold my Guild JF-30, Martin D-18 and Martin D-28 and traded the D-35 in for the D-41. Down to 4 acoustics and 1 electric bass. I am pretty much done. After strumming a D-41 I could go to a 42 or 45, but the 41 is damn uber.

I think it means you tune A to C the same as the low E, and the G to C same as the D string, so you'd have unisons.
Ok. Yeah its modal drone stuff on that and Suite Judy too.

So I got a CSN tab book the other day. And I know the tuning for Love The One You're With (actually a song off Stephen Stills first solo album) had a alternate tuning and the tuning like on all tab books is on the first page in the upper left. But what am I supposed to do on the 5th and 3rd string tuned to C with a down arrow? Go to C then half way to B since they are a half step apart? I'm stumped.

I recently bought a Martin D-41. It has gold (not a fan of gold hardware). They are Schaller Grand Tune open back tuners with the screw down nut, not the press in grommet. If anyone wants to trade like for like, I am open to trade for chrome or nickel or what ever silver is for my gold ones.

It will be delivered tomorrow. What an ordeal. Last update was it left Fayetteville, Arkansas on its way to Arizona.

Hi - I have a white pearl sparkle top Les Paul serial CS 83894 with P90s and was wondering if it was real?
I can see it from here and yes it definitely is, unless its not. Call Gibson, look at the pots to see if there Gibson, or we need pics.

You have to just experiment and see what you like. You could try flatwound stings.

PO just up dated the tracking. 9 days and it made it from Newport News, VA to Memphis. Unreal. I can drive to Memphis in about 10 -12 hours. It must be going by mule pack.

That said & speaking to your particular issue, twenty years ago I bought a new J-100extra. A lovely instrument that I still have, I didn't notice until sometime down the road that there was a slight crease in the back of the neck that could only be seen under light.
That is a great statement. I usually see my guitars in the light too. In the dark they are a lot harder to see.

1970s CBS. "It's 8 o'clock, do you know where you guitars are?"
Mine - Yes, the one I shipped - No.

Well, look at what you get for $65... The Squire of the shipping industry.
I thought the USPS was 'Merican. The PO can abuse it equally as good if not better than Fed Ex or UPS.

It's a long drive for those little white Jeeps. Can you imagine all the pee stops...?
That is why they make Depends.

It was $65 shipped and fully insured for the full value.

If you are good enough, and follow the rules, you won't need a day job. I've had two real jobs in my life to see what normal was all about and found normal to be soooooo overrated. Phone man for a while (back when phones had wires) and Cable TV Field Engineer. During these gigs, I still played music on the weekend.
I could have made more money if I stayed in the electronics industry, but I'm living a very happy life, and that's worth more than the money. I have enough to live on, the mortgage is paid, I take mostly foreign vacations every year, and other than car payments I'm debt free.
I am not a corporate wage slave doing the weekly grind. I get up in the morning, go to bed at night, and in between, do what I want to do. In other words, I'm successful and I'm free. There is more than one definition of success.
Notes
If you can do what you want and live how and where you want that is all that matters. I know I could never make it in the music game, so I guess I'm tied to being a corporate wage slave.

Understand, its your axe. The fact that you didn't go with a Martin is irrelevant in this scenario. The real issue is you got a Gibson its not perfect (nothing is) and, you like the sound of it and have to live with the imperfection, since it appears you are keeping it and not exchanging it.

You say its the size of a cent, I'm assuming you mean a penny and you say it's barley visible. To me that is not small. So is it there or not?
You seem not pleased with the quality and I would send it back cause they ain't cheap. And then your last statement you say "At least I don't have a problem with the J-45" but you started this thread and it appears you do or you would not mention it.

Just make sure you have real job so you can eat and pay bills. At 53 I would have no desire to go on the road to try to make it.
New Martin Shape!
