I owned a '48 LG2 - it was in great condition having been a church guitar for all those years. It had a nice C carve neck profile and decent tone, but of course no match in power or rich tone like my jumbo, so I sold it to a Nashville player a couple of months ago. I did like it a lot and it had a great soundhole fragrance.

sorry I stole your joke- check is in the mail

Eisenhower...late for everything (rimshot)

I know they are expensive but I really like Santa Cruz mid tension strings on my Gibson. I would do that pickguard if'n I could find matching shoes.

tpbiii- i find your posts to be both entertaining and informative, and the pictures are wonderful as are the videos. Please do not take offense when some thoughtless attention craving philistine makes a rude passing remark. Although I enjoy perusing this forum, it is the least pleasant guitar forum due the lack of moderation of adult feral children. Please continue with your posts and photos, and best wishes to you as well.

Not sure "amazing" properly describes the purple durple gee-tar, but the video from which this pic was taken might make the viewer want to buy a trapper keeper and play paper fortune teller... https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=jmh3iruf4RA&pp=ygUZT2xpdmlhIFJvZHJpZ28gdGlueSBkZXNrIA%3D%3D

There are three kinds of people in the world: those who can do arithmetic and those who can't.

Why is there a mandate but no womandate?

Maybe the bridge got broke and they "fixed" it🤪

I fog the area I want to clean with my breath then wipe it off with my shirt-tail because I always know where those two items are- no joke!

And that was just yesterday right murph?

Perhaps the power will go out because it IS working...

A.I. be the devil

I have D'Addario nickel bronze 12-56 on my '48 LG-2.

Never saw a 160e that didn't have trapezoid fretboard inlays

He left us many great youtube videos to enjoy

If ever I think I'm a bit too weird I just read this forum and feel ever so much better- thanks strangers for the lift

And just now I fired up my Hauver blind Blake model dedicated to open D tuning to play "police dog blues"- the guitar sounded same throughout but I became more nimble through the challenging (to me) tune. It had sat unplayed last two days. Perhaps sonic beauty lies in the ears of the behearer (an old word I just made up)

A good fr'instance is I just sat down with my national reso and things sound a bit awkward because I haven't played it since Thursday. But in a few minutes my bones and muscles will recall and limber up to things like slide feel and open tuning. "But that is a metal body!" thou doth protest...ah yes "same difference" I reply in true oxymoronic fashion. Wow that's a lot of words for me in one post ooofa

It seems to me to be most likely that the workman warms up to the tools, be they carpenter, electrician, graphic artist, musician, etc. At the risk of making the acoustic guitar a totem or fetish, there is still a mystic quality to the symbiosis of the player and the played.🤪

Everyone who is still living. Now at 65, I remind myself every day I live in death's shadow- it helps me maintain an edge and cling lightly to the world. It is lamentable to lose these aged elderly artists, but not surprising.

Good to have a Number One and that television appears to be older than the hairs on Grandma's chin.

Best wishes from another Illinois boy - go out there and tear it up!
