  1. I'm a 73 year old geezer, started playing when I was 15 due to the Beatles (but I don't hold that against them....). Been depressed most of my life like OP. Guitar helped thru high school... quit when I was 27... unsure why... maybe not getting any better, could have used a new amp... In 1998 I was out on stress disability.... had an old git in basement, took it out and what da ya know.... only thing that didn't seem to hurt my brain. I have gotten better since picking up guitar again, but that is not a primary objective. I consider guitar first and foremost therapy for me. In spite of buying lots of gits etc, I still reckon cheaper than going to a shrink & just as effective. And I'm sticking to that!
  2. George was wise to keep his day job
  3. another plus is that if anyone steals it, would be a snap to identify it as yours
  4. They came stock in a Cort (yes, Cort...) Sunset 1. Cort's take on the discontinued Gretsch spectrasonic (more or less same, but much better looking imo. A brilliant guitar, nothing to upgrade (well, maybe pots, but I never checked that). Tonepros roller bridge, Bigsby, semi hollow, tusq nut, yada yada. Looks great, love it, sound somewhere twixt a Gretsch and a Ric. I hunted all over for this, found it at NW Guitars (NW England? Didn't know). I live in Thailand & tried to visit US once a year... called them up, paid for it unplayed (also for only $599). That guitar in demo is my guitar. I checked serial numbers in a different video, Ha! They do pop up on Reverb sometimes...
  5. TV Jones classic filtertrons. Exquisite delicious tone magic
  6. I have the odd feeling that Rene and deep end are one and the same person.
  7. All your postings I have seen should go to "Open Jam", if anywhere. This is for acoustic guitar, not promoting religion or any of that. Maybe try political party for that sort of thing.
  8. Looks like fun to me. Is that a real F hole, or is it painted on?
  9. I've got one, have used for several years here in Thailand. Some of the paint has come off, the hinge pin came out a tad, but nothing I couldn't live with.. I like being able to clip on headstock. I play at the beach so that feature lets me lay it on gig bag without having to think about scratching the headstock. Never put a pick in that little holder. I also have Shubbs & they're great too.
  10. I was strongly considering one of those Vintage thinlines... how you like it?
  11. hashbrowns, some crispy bits, some moist delight. None of that wedge stuff
  12. I kept wondering if Musicians Friend and/or GC would put some of those "road worn" guitars into their "scratch and dent" sales.... Here's corrosion on my Vox guitar, thanks to Thai beach salt, sea, and humidity. And it's aluminum.
  13. Dang! I forgot where I can redeem my points. Anyone remember?
  14. How about take a risk and tell us what you think of it first? Give folks something to bounce off of
