  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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)

  4. 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

    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.
