Beyond a critical point within a finite space, freedom diminishes as numbers increase. This is as true of humans as it is of gas molecules in a sealed flask. The human question is not how many can possibly survive within the system, but what kind of existence is possible for those who so survive.

Re: Lets Play, 'What's in the Stinky Case?'
Jay wins. He said Hofner Club 40 and it's a Club 50. These pickups were only made in 1961 and 62 so that dates it reasonably. Had the same owner since 1962 so there's confirmation.
It's a fully hollow box, no soundholes. Light as a feather. Sounds great; thuddy attack, not a lot of sustain. Could be a great rockabilly guitar. Likes a bit of Klone to sharpen it up.
Oh and what does the Doozy teach us about German guitar evolution?
They've come a heck of a long way since Hofner!

The Doozy got style, the Hofner has got class and a zero fret. I prefer the looks of the Hofner.

Of course you do. Your tastes in wood run to 'Classical Dutch.'Jay wrote:The Doozy got style, the Hofner has got class and a zero fret. I prefer the looks of the Hofner.
And I confess a distaste for Clownburst.
Even making allowances though, the Doozy is by orders of magnitude, the better guitar.

Re: Lets Play, 'What's in the Stinky Case?'
This does remind me that a guitar I've never met is the Guild Bluesbird. Always been curious about those. Anybody have any experience of them?

Re: Lets Play, 'What's in the Stinky Case?'
Has to be, I would be disappointed if the Germans hadn't made any progress over the last 50 years or so. But give Duesenberg the challenge to re-issue the Club 50, wouldn't they come up with something classy and very playable?Slowy wrote:Of course you do.

The Guild Bluesbird, is that not just another LP in disguise? (And you don't like LPs).

No. It's same shape, bigger body and built as a hollow box; just like the Hofner.Jay wrote:

And for the record I love Les Pauls. They're the most fabulous things to look at. Pity I just can't get comfortable playing them.

Re: Lets Play, 'What's in the Stinky Case?'
Finished a restoration assessment on the Club 50.
New tuners
New frets
Neck reset
About $900. At the end of which it will still be a bit of old German pork.
Looking elsewhere I think.
