I think Radiohead definitely contributed some excellent music to the world. 'Pyramid Song' comes to mind as does 'The National Anthem' and 'Idioteque'.  Having said that, I've always had a bit of a love/ hate relationship with them (as I also have with The Beatles - yes, I said The Beatles). I think when I was young lots of people seemed to love Radiohead and it put me off them to a certain extent. Back then I loved GN'R, Led Zep and AC/DC  and a lot of people were telling me that the bands I loved were crap and I should listen to Radiohead, Oasis, Blur etc. Luckily, I ignored the people telling me things like that, but it made me dislike a lot of the 'indie' type crowd that Radiohead originally came from. Luckily Radiohead broke away from the indie sound of The Bends with Ok Computer and especially Kid A. Both those records are fantastic in my opinion. I went down many other music routes since then and I rarely listen to Radiohead anymore, but I still often listen to Led Zep, AC/DC & GN'R.

I of course respect the content of you post, but somehow Yorke + R-head clash too hard towards the wall, , , or floor in a thread about Rolling Stones. .

First single sounds just fine to me - Americana radio friendly, straight ahead rocker with nice melody shift, cool bluesy soloing, and foot tapping beat. 

Decent. Cool. Nice work. 

Agree - it's a pretty kool tune and it has spirit. (my keyboard-player says it features auto-tune too 🤓).

Never mind - a fine single to start out with. I got my first in 65 = Time is on My Side.

A good guitar player can make a crappy guitar sound good, (and vice-versa...I know from experience).

Honestly surprised with how well it sounds. Maybe I am just deaf, but I compared it to my CS mystic orpheum and to my ear it sounds better than the Custom Shop when comparing the two guitars. 

Well, great. Which strings did you choose ?

Just give it a little time to open up - I'm sure this 50 is headed for some serious jams. .

Funny enough it doesn't seem to have cream bindings - but those dot fret markers could very well be in mint condition.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                   I can't believe this guitar will be hard to break in, , ,  actually it'll be a piece of cake. .

It's backstage before a gig at the Wolf Trap (wherever that may be). Taylor's spokesperson adds it's not weird for an artist to wear a  b-robe in such situation.

Here's some of my work on a 2003 J-45....

 

 

In all seriousness - was this the slow-mo work of your thumb or the result of some well-measured surgical sanding  ?

I used to sit on the back porch and just listen but on occasion would grab a guitar and quietly play long with those old Jubilee songs.

How nice and soulful ^                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                   , , , was it before Highway 61 and Jumping Jack Flash were released. .

DR,   I feel your pain.   I only have 3 guitars, but they're  all  'top shelf' and I need a 'nice beater' I can feel comfortable with  - like a worn out pair of Levis - playing on the back porch when the temps and humidity aren't  perfect. 

Sounds like an Epiphone.

 

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              They effortless reach far into that territory. . 

[Impulse Bird Purchase]

If you search for early 70s Hummingbirds on the Tube you'll find a bunch that sound too stiff. Why ? , , , because the ARE stiff. . 

This one however, which was posted before, may be the best sounding double-X I've heard.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                             And the reason probably is that the good fellow has the touch, , , PLUS the fact that he plays it gently.                                                                                                                                                                                              The logic here of course is that when activating it with a milder feel, he won't reveal the guitar's lack of ability to seriously respond to bigger force.                                                                  In other words there is a decisive relation between pumping heavy vibes into the creature and its conditions for answering. Pretty obvious when thinking about it. 

A splendid 1974 ~

Then again - some people like the tight focused and percussive directness of a hard strummed double-X. And that's exactly how it should be. 

[I never realized guitars go to sleep!?]

What a great post - and perspective for the years to come.

                                                                                          The trick is to patiently facilitate the rendezvous between your hearing and the warmer'n'warmer guitar.

Curious, yet very studious of you to research that in forum archives. I could've sworn I'd mentioned "orgy of overtones" as a reason for parting ways with my D-41. Then again, maybe not.

Hahe, , , bet yoo did. A distant echo tells me you wrote"an otherly orgy of organic organ-like overtones".

Remember seeing Raitt just around the corner from here in that period. It was a Monday, , , but she soon turned into something 8th. .

O great - though I mostly remember this one - where the guy plays the Bird, , , which also happens in the hotel room home-video which was one here too.

Fine and intriguing story ^ Something tells me this G. Potter was seen and shown here playing a Hummingbird and a pair of faded jeans some 10 years ago. I may be wrong. 

But how grand of you to send off your guitars. Hope some film shows up on the Tube in the days to come. If yes, please post it here.
