  1. You introduced horns - Norton plays sax. But there are blown instruments on For No One - Strawberry F - All You Need is LOVE - Mystery Tour - Lady Madonna - Hey Jude - Martha - Mother Nature's - Savoy T and more to come. .
  2. I have since changed view on this. Believe Macca's Texan has the same plast-bridge, , , but now with an ordinary probably wood/bone insert. Apart from that Paul is relevant on another shelf right now - he fuzzes away on this track. And does it really good. .

    May this little charmer bring you lots of joy 💫 vice versa
  4. Yes, as mentioned in post #1. Only 7-8 years. I would have thought it was before the great worldwide acoustic epiphany, which took off plus/minus the millennium. Did this guy have interest in braces, , , did he know about them and what they mean at all. .
  5. Haheh, , , it's was fortified over 25 years ago when the cement-block under the window got refreshed. There was no balcony then. This is a former working class hood. . I btw. find the F-bird very flamy and had to 'put out' the p-guard.
  6. To illustrate how dangerously strong it is we here see how it killed a passing spider - It was shown no mercy.
  7. I'll have to say the acoustic Firebird - it's royalty and it's monstrous. Heavier sounding than both Hummingbird (for sure), J-45 and, , , the sibling Dove.
  8. But was it 76, , , the Wings Over America tour. .
  9. My HD-28V is bit of a polite beast. I like it a lot - actually bond with it*. Chose it over another very decent ex, which lived here too. Back'n'forth-back'n'forth it went for years. . . 🤓😵🤓😵😆 Still the post above makes me even more curious. *but yes, had to sand the neck a good deal. No prob as the guit was slightly mojoed already. .
  10. Aha, , never heard of the torrifried HDs. Like to try it.
  11. Enjoy the double ride - and send us a report from the other side of the cans.
  12. Yes, I saw him in March 1976 from the second row. Bet you joined shortly after. .
  13. Can be heard on the Tube - set up 2 'tabs' and A/B the new mixes with the remastered versions from 2009. Good autumn entertainment 🍂👂 and 'ave fun. .
  14. Who is Frank Sinatra, , , but a smart businessman with tone .
  15. Very well written, , , seen and thought. Still you focus more on the historical aspect than the Q about whether the music stands the tests of time. What we have to consider is that their catalogue has been updated sonically as the years rolled by. A serious remastering was launched in 2009 and in this phase another PLUS ! , , a step-by-step remix (previously almost tabu) takes place. In that that light the technical level holds up and thereby gives the music the best possibilities to survive and not end up as museum-pieces. Well, some of them will, , , but luckily the euvre is so wide that songs will fall in different categories. Some may be treasures of a long gone era, others will land in the almost magical mix between bein' old but fresh (simply due to the spirit on the tracks). And not few will stand as timeless icons, which many many different people and age-groups will choose and lend ears again and again. Important question would be : To which degree are the lyrics in the way ? Is Hey Jude fx too weird to rise as collective anthem (apart from the sing-along-end-section of course). Is Come Together. . Will Yesterday 'work' as a gorgeous melody, but in many connections collapse due to the words. Are Penny Lane and Eleanor Rigby too socially detailed to really be a signal - Lennon too surrealistic. Don't worry, people will find and dig them, but as cultural landmarks even unifying hymns, there is a chance Harrison will lift the torch. And if Something appears to be too narrow, Here Comes the ☼ shall proudly take over. .
  16. This film is only 1 hour old - don't know how to characterize the finish, but there is some fine playing to be heard.
  17. I have a 1959 and a 1953 - they are as different as one can imagine. The 1950 switched for the 53er was something third. .
  18. Inspired by the posts in the rose hog maple thread about owning a guitar or being owned by it, it dawned on me that neither really are ideal. The guitar is by nature an instrument with a logic that invites you and your fingers to do certain things - discover patterns, moves, licks, etc., which all lie hidden on the f-board. . . There's a reason Ralph McTell said he was lucky to be the one who took Streets of London down, , , , because it was already waiting there. What should be considered is the challenge of meeting the guitar half way - meaning you learn to understand what it offers and the then wish/call/order/demand something the other way as well. This is in my view the holy key. Represented by fx J. Browne and J. Taylor, but also Stills and Young to mention some well known players. Maybe a John Fahey would be in the other group : The ones that primarily press their own subjective ideas over the guitars - and almost steer or control them under strict command, , , actually with too little sensitivity towards the physical and spiritual potentials/values within the wooden creatures themselves. Well, just a thought - some of you may find it over-done, , , but give it a chance. .
  19. Absolutely right - as mentioned quite often back when the TV Birds and others were discussed here a lot, the old real vintage guitars shine like jewels if treated with care. However they turn matt in a pretty kool way after hard use or fx after receiving wrong polish. And yes there are all kinds of stages between those 2 extremes.
  20. Sounds as if you had a set back due to some unfortunate incident. Or were you ambushed by age. .
  21. Thanx guys - some of you may recall I'm from faaaar away over the pond. Just trying to gather a little knowledge (as we play). Choice is be wise and just let it pass or dig into it and be wiser This one is becomin' too complicated though - goin' for some p-corn instead. . C ya
