Definitely a product of the LSD generation

Why don't you save yourself the hassle and just forward it directly to your friend's store for consignment?

Here is my Avalon

Maybe me and Roy Brooks can start a Shaggs tribute band? That is Roy's guitar on the bottom right.

I got it set up and it plays pretty good now. The only thing is the trussrod has a huge adjustment nut,larger than a Gibson trussrod adjustment nut. I don't know of any tool to adust it with.It's ok because the neck is straight now but I would like to have a way to adjust it if nessassary.

I dig it, like a cross between a Premier and a Burns bison! ...A Shaggs tribute band, that could be tough. It's hard to sound like everybody's playing different songs, on purpose! -Adam

Re: The Shaggadelic Avalon Guitar!

That's certainly a different vibe.

 

But isn't naming a band the 'Shags' the UK equivalent to naming a band the 'Screws' or the 'Fucks' ?


Not really the image I get with those girls...

Re: The Shaggadelic Avalon Guitar!

Is it true that the burgundy mist strat copy committed suicide this morning, aided by some troll figurines and a Niagra Falls postcard, due to not being able to bear the uncertainty of being sold off at some point?
