animalfarm Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 Was looking for background on a J. Reynolds Mini-Les Paul I've had for a few months, ran across this video (shudder...). I Tune mine to "G", seems to hold quite nicely.

jcwillow777 Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 I couldn't stand to watch it all the way. I hope he knows it is out of tune, that is terrible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm certain that the guy here who works at GuiTarget Center is intimately familiar with this kid and his pals. Painful. Larens Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fenrirlupus Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 could try some really thick strings or something... like maybe some... 20's or something... (a bit of an exaggeration, but in that guy's case, he could benefit from snapping his guitar's neck...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rockstar232007 Posted November 27, 2009 Share Posted November 27, 2009 Those mini-guitars are ironically some of THE BIGGEST pieces of sh!t I've ever seen/heard. Their really a waste of materials/production time, because they look, sound, and feel like CRAP! No matter what you do to them! FAIL! Somebody had to say it!

animalfarm Posted November 28, 2009 Author Share Posted November 28, 2009 dearlpitts - Congrats on going "smoke-free"! I've cut mine back to 1/3 of a cancer stick at a time, then put it out until next puff. Dang cigs are ridiculously expensive, and the less expensive brands are like smoking lawn clippings (yeccchhh). I look at the mini as a bit of a novelty item, like a double neck (or more) guitar - You bring it out to play every once in a while as more of a visual gimmick, and it actually does come in handy as a "travel guitar". The tuning to "G" requires that you treat it as a full-size git capo'd at third fret, though. (Of course, perfect size for young child.) Does anyone remember the "Chiquita" travel guitars? Another guitar player I know went to a ZZ Top concert locally, at the end was a drawing for a Chiquita signed by the band. SOMEHOW, he won the drawing and went backstage for the photos and autographing of the git. Afterwards, he played the guitar over the course of the next year or so and wore some of the signatures off. ZZ Top eventually returned on another tour, so he presented himself, the guitar, and the photos previously taken to the backstage security folks, with the request that the band please re-sign the guitar. They did - brought him backstage, shot the breeze for about 20 mins, then re-autographed it. Cool of ZZ to do that... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest icantbuyafender Posted November 28, 2009 Share Posted November 28, 2009 My friend has a maestro brand "V" mini guitar. Other than being a wall ornament, that thing is the soul of my creative spirit when Im over there and drunk. Ive made ballads and rock songs on that thing. His video camera says so. I usually dont remember. He says i tend to do my robert plant voice with my own background choir of axl rose wannabe's.... Im glad those clips dont surface on the tube. And one of these days that V is gonna be put to a wood chipper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
