    Retirement soon

    in The Gibson Lounge

    Congratulation on the retirement KSdaddy!  I took a buy-out package three years ago and never looked back.  Sounds like you have more than enough to keep you busy,  While at work I was known for saying "I have five Mondays a week in this place".  Now its seven Saturdays a week.  Most importantly, don't forget to spend time with your loved ones (you know, all those guitars you own).   Enjoy!

    Vertigo

    in The Gibson Lounge

    Posted

    I recently had a  bout of Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) like Brad 1 describes.  Not fun and for anyone who has any type of vertigo see your doctor.  Some are not so benign.  I had a cataract removed from the left eye, but still have a nasty one in the right eye, so the difference in vision certainly doesn't help either.  Can't wait for the right eye to be done.

    Thread Killing

    A thread walks into a bar and orders a shot and a beer.  The bartender says "We don't serve threads in here, get lost!"  So the thread goes into an ally, messes up his hair, un-tucks his shirt, and scuffs up his shoes.  He then goes back into the bar and orders a shot and a beer again.  The bartender says "I thought I told you we don't serve threads!"  The thread says "What thread?  I'm a frayed knot, now gimme that beer!"

    Epi wanted for a newbie as a gift

    Rabs,  you just hit the nail on the head.  You want to give her a guitar that fits her and is also a solid player.  If this is not a surprise, perhaps you could go with her to a shop to get a feel for what fits her, keeping price in mind.  But beware, as the father of two now fully grown girls (women), make sure you don't get caught in the "It looks really cool" trap (also know as a crappy guitar with a Hello Kitty sticker on it)

    Hi Rabs, that's a really cool gift.  Since you can afford it, go for the Epi LP Classic.  I've had one for quite a while and it plays great, as you said the neck is slim and I would imagine the hardware and woods would be a step up.  I have played the studio and while not bad, the Classic feels better; worth the money in my opinion.  BTW, my  birthday just passed!
