I have a 1967 D-28 that looks every one of its years. I've owned it since 1969. It's beautiful, like a leather attache that's been carried to work every day for 40 years. Still sounds pretty sweet, too, although I heard a new HD-28 that definitely gave it a run.

That, or have a "rebar-through" design with mexican tile body wings.

Placement of the rebar is critical, though, to attain the proper resonance.

Yeah, it was probably in some thread about Teles and Strats.

Don't I recall your saying that single-coils are for pussies? :D

I have a set of locking-pin tuners on my Strat. They don't do shit for keeping things in tune any better that standard tuners, but string changing is much easier.

Nice. What is he chopping off, the cabinetry?

.... and it comes with a Leslie. I'd help move it upstairs but my back is feeling weak today. :D http://dallas.craigslist.org/mdf/msg/2030159488.html

And I'm gonna hose down the whole neck - front and back - with WD-40 to make it easier to move around on those big fat strings. :drunk:

Not gonna happen! :laughings:

I'm starting to get used to them. And they make playing my other guitars really, really, easy. :D

Bob, the neck wasn't really a problem but I have been curious to see if it would respond to heavier strings by bowing, or if the truss rod was hung up in the pocket. Using a standard set of 10s, the neck was essentially flat (a tiny bit of relief on the bass side, flat on the treble side) with...

Well, yeah, I ran it though my Egnater's Marshall module last night and it sounded pretty fucking righteous. Hard as hell to play, though!

Fixed that problem! I decided to use this guitar for drop tuning (all strings down a full step). So I threw on a set of Ernie Ball "Not Even Slinky" strings in 12-56 gauge. Put a third spring on the trem to counteract the increased tension. The neck developed a very nice relief, thank you very...

I can't call any of 'em my "favorite," 'cause the other ones will get jealous and refuse to hold tune. :D

This thread is not what I was expecting. Then again, I spend way too much time in The Cave. :D

It's kind of hard to tell, Tony. My MM is very bright and snappy - the single-coils are really hot and the picking dynamics can keep it laid back or unleash some really raw-sounding guitar that pushes an amp hard. Yours sounds a bit smoother; I'm thinking that that's because your P-90 isn't...

Thanks for the input, Telepaul. I appreciate the offer, too, and I promise to consider it carefully. :laughings: :laughings: :laughings: :laughings: :laughings:

Hey, Tony, nice tune. :) I do like the unexpected progression in there; it's a nice change of pace for what would otherwise be a "regular ol'" blues tune. I'll not comment on the mix because others have done that and I know you're still working on it. Except to say that the cymbal crash right...

OK, will do.
