Ron S Posted March 19, 2005 Report Posted March 19, 2005 I will, but not until I finish working out with my Gripmaster: Quote
Herb Posted March 19, 2005 Report Posted March 19, 2005 Very profound, Joe! That just says it all! B-) B-) Quote
AfricaBrass Posted March 19, 2005 Report Posted March 19, 2005 I will, but not until I finish working out with my Gripmaster: Man... that thing works! Quote
AfricaBrass Posted March 19, 2005 Report Posted March 19, 2005 Taylor's got something new up their sleeve... ???? Wow! I wonder how that things sounds. I have a '96 Taylor 410 which I love. Quote
Sundog Posted March 19, 2005 Report Posted March 19, 2005 I have a 314 and a 355. Both rock solid, very well made guitars. I'm curious to see what these sound like myself. They say coming this spring, isn't spring tomorrow? B-) Quote
Ron S Posted March 19, 2005 Report Posted March 19, 2005 I will, but not until I finish working out with my Gripmaster: Man... that thing works! I forgot to mention that I use it in combination with my ThighMaster. Quote
Joe G Posted March 19, 2005 Report Posted March 19, 2005 See? I told you. You're so tense and stiff that not only are your fingers incapable of forming a simple G7 chord, but now in a fit of frustration you've crushed your guitar in between your hands! Quote

You're so tense and stiff that not only are your fingers incapable of forming a simple G7 chord, but now in a fit of frustration you've crushed your guitar in between your hands! And it was a SOLID body. I bet YOU can't do that--you guys and your wimp-ass, wet-noodle light touch. You're just a bunch of Girly Men! BTW, do you think I overtuned this guitar just a bit? Quote
AfricaBrass Posted March 19, 2005 Report Posted March 19, 2005 I love Quick Draw McGraw!! Eeeevun (to quote Snagglepuss). He seems to have that Pete Townshend move down... Quote
casanovas347 Posted March 20, 2005 Report Posted March 20, 2005 347 here! .....i'll shut up myself now and go practicing ....... -_- ...hope that works Quote
Ron S Posted March 20, 2005 Report Posted March 20, 2005 347 here! .....i'll shut up myself now and go practicing ....... -_- ...hope that works Just checked out your web site and listened to the MP3's. Your songs are great, and so is your playing. B-) But if you don't mind a little suggestion, I think you'd play just a teeny-tiny bit better if you used the GRIPMASTER (echo: Gripmaster, Gripmaster) once or twice a week. Quote
scottb Posted March 22, 2005 Report Posted March 22, 2005 Hey Joe, where you going with that gun in yo' hand? I mean... Hey Joe, did the Alleykat arrive? I've really got the guitar bug now. I am really liking the Cort . I have been playing more lately and am getting my technique back. I actually have a bid on another guitar on Ebay! I have this vision (read delusion) of buying cheap guitars, junk guitars and upgrading them or fixing them and reselling them. Not to make money but for the fun of working on guitars and hopefully I can support the hobby by reselling them. I can't give away the details of my first project because the auction is still in progress. But soon enough... Project two would probably be to build a custom tele with humbuckers and a LP junior bridge/tailpiece. Quote
Ron S Posted March 22, 2005 Report Posted March 22, 2005 And when should we start placing our orders? Quote
Joe G Posted March 22, 2005 Report Posted March 22, 2005 Yep, the Alleycat was on my front porch when I got home from work last Friday. It's a nice little guitar! However, I think it was Wednesday or Thursday night I was lying in bed thinking, "Why did I order that thing?". So I'm trying to decide if it's going to fill an important enough role to justify keeping it, despite the great price. I mean, am I really going to want to leave it at work? And is it good enough to play on a gig? It's not as comfortable to wear and play as my Ibanez, that's for sure. I'll have to think about it some more. I know, I'm a big party pooper. Quote
Ron S Posted March 22, 2005 Report Posted March 22, 2005 I mean, am I really going to want to leave it at work? That really depends on where you work. Quote
slide_advantage_redoux Posted March 22, 2005 Report Posted March 22, 2005 (edited) Okay, I have decided to post a pic of my guitar setup, even though I am mainly a trombone player (or dinosaur rider as Sangrey reminds me). I found this '79 Ibanez 2630 Artist in my favorite pawn shop. I could have broken my neck rushing back the next day to buy it. I knew it was special. What a great work of art. Those Japanese manufacturers really outdid themselves during that period of time. I sold my tex mex tele (nashville deluxe) to pay for it, and have NEVER regretted it. This one is going nowhere. I only wish my photo skills were such to give this lovely gtr justice. Edited March 22, 2005 by slide_advantage_redoux Quote
casanovas347 Posted March 23, 2005 Report Posted March 23, 2005 wow.....beautiful guitar!...... for a dinosaur-rider ibanez is the gibson of the next millenium Quote

scottb Posted March 24, 2005 Report Posted March 24, 2005 OK, auction ended, I'm a WINNER!!! I'm going to take this guitar and upgrade the cosmetics, pickups and electronics to the level of the higher Cort models. Then resell it. Quote
scottb Posted March 24, 2005 Report Posted March 24, 2005 ...in the end it will look like this guitar. Quote
scottb Posted March 24, 2005 Report Posted March 24, 2005 (edited) Of course if it plays nicely and sounds good I might have trouble parting with it. By the way, those M200s have a MSRP of about $250. I paid $102 (including shipping!.) I admit it, I'm a CHEAP GUITAR JUNKIE!! Edited March 24, 2005 by scottb Quote
