Buc McMaster Posted July 16, 2022 Share Posted July 16, 2022 (edited) Yes, I have committed heresy and sold the last of my acoustic guitars..........Big Blue is off to different fingers. i have contracted the rock-n-roll bug once again. Been playing an open mic lately and met a drummer and bass player just last week with the intent of putting a band together for some scattered island gigs.........lots of places to play down here! Over the last months I've put together a couple of electric rigs and am quite excited about making a run at reliving some days of my youth! Ha! A pair of Collings: a Statesman LC hollow body and a 290DC S in the style of the LP Jr. Both terrific instruments! A Mesa California Tweed (up to 40W) and a Fender Blues Jr LTD (15W) provide amplification. So maybe I'll pop in from time to time if I have something relevant to share......otherwise I'm off rockin' somewhere!

Have a blast! Good luck with the Band.. You should still have an Acoustic Electric Guitar! Best of both Worlds.. It's a full hollow body.........Collings Statesman LC. Removed the factory Bigsby and installed the trapeze tailpiece with a brass bar bridge; changed the pickups from Filtertrons to single coil TV Jones; changed the sealed gear machine heads to a set of keystones (it was head heavy). Works like a champ and holds tune for days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sgt. Pepper Posted July 17, 2022 Share Posted July 17, 2022 Mesa/Boogie es muy bueno. I had a TA-15 lunchbox head from them. Gibson own Mesa now. I only hope Gibson leaves them alone and lets them keep doing what they always have. Made in beautiful Petaluma, California. I was stationed in Petaluma for 3 years when in the Coast Guard.

I'd say if it aint broke, maybe this time, don't fix it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kwalker201 Posted July 18, 2022 Share Posted July 18, 2022 Buc, I will miss your acoustic performances on here! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Paul Posted July 22, 2022 Share Posted July 22, 2022 Always enjoyed your acoustic interpretations. Following your bliss is always encouraged. That blue TX guitar was a cool rig. Cheers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
