I've been absent from this thread for a bit.  Apologies, I'm proud of you guys for talking a newb into a Taylor.  Good choice.

Do you married guys leave your ring on when you play?  I was really annoyed when I found out it goes on the right hand.  I have thing fingers, and the knuckles are the widest points.  I now have lube dispenser next to my guitars, ostensibly so I can get my ring off.

Nope.  Took it off for awhile while playing, and then just stopped wearing it altogether.  Albeit because I got fatter.

We don't call it the Guitar Pron thread for nuthin'.

Wedding ring goes on the right hand? I wear mine on the left. But I don’t like the way it knocks against the neck so I often take it off.

err, left hand.  goes on my fretting hand. I wish it were on my right hand, because it wouldn't knock against the wood on my expensive guitars

I leave my ring on when playing electric, but if I'm playing acoustic (and especially if I'm recording) it has to come off.  It's just too loud clunking around on the neck.

Fret hand. Stays on. If I take it off I’ll lose it. Which isn’t something I want to deal with.

Back in the day I hated Kenny Loggins and his slickly produced hits. But I watched that show when it was new and those same songs come off really well with just a good rock band playing them.

I don't wear rings, they irritate the skin between my fingers, and no woman would have me anyway.

I kind of like that random percussive effect.  Of course, my taste and playing are shit, so there's that.

I lost mine 3 days after I got married, and wife was with me and she saw me put it "there" and helped me look for it.  After a slight bout of frustration she got with the program.  I told her I'm not in a hurry to wear one again because I play piano and guitar (etc.) and it's too uncomfortable.

Haven't worn one since.  And that was 25 years ago almost exactly (yeah, we're going somewhere this summer for the anniversary).  Do not want.  Ever.

Fretting hand and I take it off while playing, but I pretty much take it off as soon as I get home.

This.

I’ve been married nearly 33 years and I haven’t worn my wedding ring for about 32 years.  I’m not a jewelry guy and I can’t stand anything that feels tight on me.  My wife doesn’t seem to mind.

Well, that's good!

I used to be married. 

The ring didn't interfere with my playing nearly as much as the despicable piece of shit I was married to.

My wedding ring wasn’t a traditional band. It was a fairly wide and airy James Avery continuous Icthus band and it made a racket. However, I found that it made me learn to position my left hand more properly and be a lot more precise in my fretting. The ring (and ex wife) are long gone but my playing improved significantly. Win/win.

I never even notice my wedding band while playing unless I'm playing slide-- I wear my slide on that finger and it (the band) has to come off

can you play acoustic through these? Also any good?

Looks like a copy of the Bose PAs.  Would love to know how they sound.  I would thing they would be perfect for acoustic....if they are worth a shit.  

Seems to get decent reviews, especially if you add a small mixer in between.

Tell me about it. This fell out of a couch I had searched countless times when we moved recently.

Yay, now I have two. It’s always been loose so I got to where I liked it that way, so I can put it on my right hand when I’m playing if I want to.
Mine never comes off & I still can't noodle like this guy...

Based on the reviews it must come up on SDOTD from time to time. Someone get one today and report back.

There needs to be an adaptation where you can move it up to play slide guitar with it.

I did briefly consider wearing them both on the same finger.

But that would be weird.

Maybe I could have them fused into a mega-slide-ring. The surface is flat (you can stand it on edge).

I’ve been doing my chords in my office chair in front of the computer. What a dumbass.  Now I’m sitting in a loveseat and everything is so much more comfortable.  My left hand is in a better position and it turns out my fingers do know where to go for the beginning chords.  What a dumbass I am.  

 

A couple of Cuba Libres don’t hurt either. Lol

Grab a strap and try standing up.

Also: what fucking witchcraft is this?!?

Standing up?  I climbed 71 flights of stairs today.  My ass is planted. Lol

I kinda want to buy a Bose one for my new music room 

I am selling my Gretsch to partly fund a new Strat. The Strat I have now is an HSS and that's fine but I want one w/three single coils and apparently I am never going to finish putting all my Strat parts back together again so I'm going to have to buy one. Love that white blonde look.

There is no practice focus like good weed, VA.  A move to a weed friendly state will do wonders for your guitar.  Well, it will help some.

^^^^

This.

It helps with anything requiring focus. It's the only time I can get into deep cleaning the house.

You posted a pic of the guitar you want rather than the guitar you’re “trying” to sell?

My friend posted this pic a couple days ago.

he said he was about to walk on stage and the strap broke and it fell to the floor. 

Its a Taylor 614. 

Broke my Les Paul the same way, and learned my lesson about getting strap locks the hard way. 

I'll end up breaking my Les Paul the dame way because I refuse to put strap locks on it. "Mick Ronson didnt need any fucking strap locks!" (Ronson broke the neck on his LP 7 or 8 times).

That's a big fear of mine. I have a couple sets of Schaller strap locks, but I don't use them cuz I like to keep my vintage guitars stock and don't want to swap the pegs.

I should probably rethink that.

I put it off for the same reasons.   But you know what else isn't stock?   The headstock snapped off.   Only difference is, you can't ever get that back to original.

Like I said, I had to learn my lesson the hard way.
