There will be a good story here...all mahogany 1957 Goldtop - that's my kind of guitar.

Re: Swagger of bursts
I once missed a great deal on a Rick 230 from them. Saw it online and it said overseas buyers please call and it was the wrong time of day, so I called back the next day. Guy went to take it off the shelf and when he came back to the phone he said so sorry but I didn't realise, it was sold half an hour ago. Gutted

Re: Swagger of bursts
Easy. Hands/chops any day. Don't need a flash axe. As much as I'd like to make a living from my creativity, I'd rather have a higher degree of mastery of the instrument to be able to express the crap in my head...whether anyone else gets it, I can't control...but to get it out with expressive eloquence and mistake free fluidity would be, for me, a life worth living

Yeah, but you never got to try the drugs. Bloody teaser vid, that.
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.

I wouldn't want actual hands grafted onto my arms. Then I'd have four hands.

Dude...I'd take the four hands deal. Then I'd have I'd have 15 fingers of fun, fanging fun!

I feel that already so I'll take the burst. That way at least I'll have half a million dollars I don't have now.
And given my apparent relationship with Les Pauls, it will remain in its current condition.

Re: Swagger of bursts
Just longer fingers, or even just a pinky finger that isn't stubby, the rest of my fingers are long enough.
Not that it would tidy up my ever-increasingly sloppy bedroom playing, but at least I might be able to reach a couple of things I'd love to be able to play.
The older I get, the more disappointed in myself I become.

Re: Swagger of bursts
Similar boat to what I'm paddling here...big palms, chod fingers. I call them meat slabs with frills...o and then I had the genius idea to chop the end of my left hand, pointer finger off!Danger Mouse wrote: ↑Tue Nov 02, 2021 7:47 amJust longer fingers, or even just a pinky finger that isn't stubby, the rest of my fingers are long enough.

Previously, I could just mangle a 5 fret spread on a good day...but now, even an open/cowboy C chord is a major grab! I'm working on it though, like a Beatles chord: using middle, ring and pinky...little wins
