    M2205358-front-xlarge.jpgBroke down over Labor Day sale time and picked up this Martin 000-15m. Remember if you ever want to buy something from Sweetwater to call them and ask for a better price.  They went down almost $200 from the advertised price. 

    Guitar plays nice and I am eager to see how it sounds once it opens up. 

    Beautiful.  I love the way Celery's has already developed a cool patena.  Isbell said he put his new Martin in front of some speakers and played hip hop everytime they left the house.  He also had an Ebow lying around so he laid it flat and just sat the Ebow on the neck and let it run.  

  2. We’ve only been in the area a short while and had agreed we’d not do anything major to the house until we decided how we liked living here.
    That  agreement was presumably forgotten  by one party..... but not I.  For now those plans go in the drawer......for now.. 
    Shit gets lost all of the time.
  3. Along the lines of the Eagles, John Prine's debut was strong as well.  Even if you just include Angel from Montgomery, Sam Stone, and Paradise.  And a bunch more classics.

     

    Bruce Robison's first one wasn't big by debut standards, but resulted in a bunch of hits by others:  Angry All The Time (Tim McGraw No.1); Travellin' Soldier (DIxie Chicks No. 1); Not Forgotten You and Take It All Out on You (Kelly Willis); Lonely Too (Included on Leeann Womack's "I Hope You Dance" album)

  4. I didn't take any pictures of the complete trainwreck I caused last night, but when you do stupid shit, you need to come clean.  I'm hulla and I'm a dipshit.

     

    Changed strings on an acoustic, so thought I would whip out the tele at the same time since it has locking tuners and is easy as fuck to restring.    Well, took off the low E, strung the new string through the back, through the peg, tightened it up, clipped the string and started tuning.  But the string kept stretching, and stretching, and stretching.  It usually winds about 1/4 the way around the peg, but I got 3 full wraps and it still wouldn't keep stretching.  

     

    You know those little metal eyelets on the back of string-through body guitars?  Well, that one had fallen off and when I ran the string through, I didn't notice it was gone, and I pulled that ball end almost completely through the body.  You couldn't even see it from the back of the guitar and I couldn't push it back out from the top.  I ended up having to take the bridge off and yank the ball-end through the top of the body.  Chipped a little bit of the top that I glued on.  It is mostly covered up by the bridge.

     

    Thanks for letting me share.  (Found a picture with the E still stuck in the guitar, after I removed the others strings so I could take the bridge off)

    And by the way, Roger Taylor is playing lights out drums WHILE singing fucking David Bowie's part. Can I get a fuckin' witness?

    I was going to comment on that.  Taylor never gets the credit he deserves....especially vocally.   

    One of my favorite Queen songs is "I'm In Love With My Car".  LOVE May's guitar work, but Roger's voice is perfect for this song.  

     

  6. My favorite electric to play is my Mexican made, Nashville tele (3 pickups/5 way switch)  I bought it at a used shop for $200.  Still had the sticker on the pickguard.  I have a guitar I paid 10x as much for but if I only had to pick one, the tele would be it.  $800 buck is a lot of fun to be had.  Like mentioned, since you have a Gibson, get a Mexican made Fender.  I can't keep the new names straight anymore.
