Well, there was the Rosewood Tele that George played on the rooftop:

I have no Elvis in me when it comes to playing, but all I have to do is pick my Tele up and I start to smile. Thats gotta be worth something.

THE BAND yea they carried alot of WEIGHT (still do )

Thanks for this thread. Many posters have already articulated why they are The Band. I hunger for that level of soul and talent in today's music.

Really cold out today.

COLD here, too...dropped into the the 50's this morning.

Thanks for supporting one of my main conclusions not just about Albert Lee but about music and guitarists in general:

for longhaul listening, guitarists are better in the context of a band/with a SINGER.

Even great playing extracted can become an abstraction...fatiguiging.

The notion of a "song" predates in the history of humanity stringed instruments...this is something deep in our bones.

BTW, we can't talk Liberal/Conservative here.

Left is right and Right is a closed thread.

We need to stick with generalities to keep the discussion alive.

My point is that if a person's decision to join the "green team" is expressly for perception by others in public, but then that same person pours used engine oil in the field behind his house when no one is looking, I find that to be morally reprehensible.

Gibson Wood Raid Update - Henry has left the building......

Mike Eskimo — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 21:30:29 GMT

The Gibson that I love ceased to exist around 1970 or so.

Why the blind allegiance to a company that has made either garbage or over-priced hoo-hah for decades ?

Oh - you mean innocent until proven guilty ?

Go back to the original thread and check the pages of stuff Gibson employees have to say about him.

If this whole thing means the company is weakened and folks lose their jobs - not good.

If, however, they jettison the mad man and the company starts to get smarter and stronger then - great.

Have you guys ever heard of Led Zeppelin? WOW!

MickM — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 21:28:28 GMT

Which one is Led?

Read a funny thing on the Ibanez forum...

Not the Cellar Door, but I assume pretty close:

Still sounds pretty darn fantastic.

The 'Scene are local DC area guys by the way. :wink:

Your Cables?

Warmoth contour closest to Road Worn Tele Neck?

boris bubbanov — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 21:09:05 GMT

Vintage '59 Roundback.

Oh, this is a purdy one:

http://www.warmoth.com/Showcase/Show...dy=1&Path=Neck $ 154.

The Vintage Boatneck is wonderful but it is a lot fatter on the centerline. You can sand it down to taste.

http://www.warmoth.com/Showcase/Show...dy=1&Path=Neck

I'd be obliged to get the second, because of the extra girth, but that $ 154 is a sweet looking neck; I'd much rather have that in my size.

Investing in treasury bills...anybody have info?

boris bubbanov — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 21:05:48 GMT

The fastest way for the Treasury to get out from under the debt we've taken on it is to allow inflation to run as high as the Chinese and Japanese (and other creditors) will let us. Investing in dollar based units of wealth is highly questionable right now. But, I guess if everyone took my advice we'd really be in for a rough ride, tho. :^(
Gold, Oil, Stocks are not gaining value so much as the measure unit has been de-stabilized.

That's an order of magnitude more than I will pay for a meal.

I don't mind paying the price for a good meal. We don't go out that often anyway, so its a treat. My meal last weekend was $32.00

I paid $54.00 for surf and turf in Napa and it was worth every cent.

Almost.

Here's where you are. Strange city, on tour. Your tech is AWOL and the baggage handlers have buggered your guitar and you have a show in 20 minutes and have just discovered the action is 3/8ths inches high.
Loosen the neck bolts and use it, because at this point you have no choice.

You can also use it for diagnostics.

I've played some G + Ls with the 3 bolt that had some tilt dialed in a little. They still sounded great.

I would suggest that of you left that tilt in there all the time, specially on the 4 bolt guitars, you will get a big 'ol bulge in the neck, right there.
