Members mygolfcart123 Posted October 1, 2011 Members Share Posted October 1, 2011 I used to listen to "closer to home" all the time. My sisters husband was crazy about them at one time. For some reason I just thought the guitar player used les pauls? Don't know why, but that was how I pictured the guitar player anyway. No offense, but I am just not crazy about that guitar's body style or headstock. Though it seems to sound great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Spudro Posted October 2, 2011 Members Share Posted October 2, 2011 Remind me why I'd want an aluminum neck? Back when the Messenger guitars were made, normal string gauges for guitar were significantly heavier with a wound 3rd string. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
