I was actually looking at it the other day, and though it might end up being my "the one that comes with me to the old folk's home" guitar. If I can still play as an old geezer, I won't care what I play or who it impresses.

Oh, great. Now Line 6 amps will triple in price, just because of the Gibson "halo" effect. Hey, wait a minute. What do I care? I don't even LIKE Line 6 amps.

Seems to be fairly common with acoustic 12's, because it reduces string tension. Anything less than Martin/Taylor/Gibson acoustic 12's seem to not live well under all that neck/bridge tension. I once had a Mosrite Celebrity 12-string. Picked it up CHEAP at a garage sale in New Orleans...

It was even funnier when I WAS a mod here.

I own a Backpacker, and have experience with other smaller, travel-sized guitars, even if not so-named. My impressions: Backpacker is not a tone machine buy any means, but with the strap it is easy enough to handle. Pull the strap tighter than you might, just a little. They are made by...

Don't have a pic handy, and anyway this is a rather plain looking guitar, but let me tell you why I am amped about this one: About 15 years ago, I found a S6 Folk at a garage sale in uptown New Orleans. Seller was firm at $75, and I "took a chance" on it. Turned out that was about half it's...

111 Of course, I know nothing of the situation. But IF there is a chance of things getting back together, I can tell you this: 1. That chance is slim at best, but... 2. It will become more and more slim as time passes, and... 3. Taking her to dinner could make the difference. I'd give it a...

I actually didn't see/hear any post quite like that. Only ones I see are everybody cracking wise. :) Oops. Only looked at the first page!

Give my son, DJ, a call. He framed up the glass at Studio101NOLA himself, but I don't know how he did it. Tell him I (Steve, his dad) sent you. If you catch him at a good time, he'll be happy to talk, probably. Cell is 504237-5404. Afternoons are best. Be warned- this is the busy season...

I'm sure it was a sweet Swart. Not sure who I'd want to sound like, but if I had to BE somebody, I'd probably pick Peter Gabriel. That man is SO talented and creative. Deep, too.

Gawd, I was so clueless at that stage of my live, I have no IDEA what tubes the thing has!

You know, that stolen PA head looked a lot like that one, and it had a screw-on connector for the mic, which we replaced with a 1/4" TS jack. Probably the same one. Isn't that interesting?

Or have somebody else hit the "record" button but not tell you.

I had a hi-frequency buzz, once- never smoked that particular stuff again. Awww, come on. You knew somebody was gonna say it, I just got it out of the way.

You do an acceptable, if not particularly inspired, job- but I wonder, do you think of yourself as a singer? I think perhaps you don't, which motivated you to start this thread. Perhaps you should either embrace being a "singer," so you have some fun with it and that fun and excitement show...
