Members kwakatak Posted June 27, 2005 Members Posted June 27, 2005 :confused: Ya know, I kinda remember seeing a post like this once. The guy was actually serious! My favorite was a post by somebody who wanted to put a tremelo (Floyd Rose type) on an acoustic so he could play heavy metal on it.

Members JasmineTea Posted June 28, 2005 Author Members Posted June 28, 2005 I did one on a all metal Dobro with a plasma cutter. A torch cuts a little cleaner.

Members Tralfaz Posted June 28, 2005 Members Posted June 28, 2005 Just move the bridge over to the side, then you won't have to reach over the upper bout to press the strings down. Problem solved.
Members fingerpicker Posted June 28, 2005 Members Posted June 28, 2005 My favorite was a post by somebody who wanted to put a tremelo (Floyd Rose type) on an acoustic so he could play heavy metal on it. I used to teach guitar at Paragon Music center in Tampa Florida in the mid 90's. There was --no joke-- a neon pink acoustic with a tremelo on it! I never really bothered trying it out or anything...Wish I would have...

Members digitalsnipe Posted July 4, 2005 Members Posted July 4, 2005 And, by the time all is said and done - none of it worth while, quick or satisfying - it's cheaper to buy one, a choice set of darts, and then curse the guy/company who made it with each throw. That seems to be a much more satisfying method of hating cutaways than to do the work yourself and then hate yourself for it. I mean, if you're going to set your face on fire don't beat it out with a trackshoe.

It's there, but it is'nt there, but it's there, but it is'nt there...

Members digitalsnipe Posted July 8, 2005 Members Posted July 8, 2005 Originally posted by t60 fan Exis - what?Is that anything like trying to dig half a hole? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Existentialism...sounds like JT might be acquainted with Jean Paul Sarte? Or, perhaps Tim Allen: "Am I Really Here?" A philosophy questioning existence. Read about it, but, are you really reading about it...et al...ad nauseum. I prefer Stoicism. Prevents Existentialism and GAS.
Members JasmineTea Posted July 8, 2005 Author Members Posted July 8, 2005 Not Tim Allen, Woody Allen.
Members digitalsnipe Posted July 8, 2005 Members Posted July 8, 2005 Originally posted by JasmineTea Not Tim Allen, Woody Allen. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ That fits. Just his looks suggest his philosophy. "Am I Really Here" is a book written by Tim Allen. I see it on the "reduced" shelf at book stores all the time.
Members JasmineTea Posted July 8, 2005 Author Members Posted July 8, 2005 I read something by Sartre about 20 years ago, I like Candide by Voltaire way better. But don't get the impression I'm well-read, {censored}, I can hardly spell. ...best of all possible worlds...
Members digitalsnipe Posted July 8, 2005 Members Posted July 8, 2005 Just the fact that you are aware, or even partially informed of such people and their musings is walking 3 feet higher than most people I know or are acquainted with these days. I'm pseudo myself but it's unusal to even hear of such things in idle conversation anymore. The current American dumb-down movement has been very successful. The educational system can be proud of that. They don't take pride in anything else so if failure is their only claim far be it for me to take that away. Everyone has to be good at something.
Members JasmineTea Posted July 8, 2005 Author Members Posted July 8, 2005 The dumb down system: America is not short on propaganda ministers.
