  1. Read or unread, the end result is the same with Finnegans Wake.
  2. I know Martin is a good name, but this seems pretty far down their line. Worth it, or no? The corksniffers will tell you no , but realize that most corksniffers are suffering from allergies & affluenza.
  3. If it speaks deeply to you, grab it. To hell with other folks' ears.
  4. I really like the "Vend-A-Goat" one, myself. That one cracks me up everytime. Frets!!!
  5. Some of those look pretty cool, but I'm wondering how they'll hold up over the long haul? Good question. In a way, I'd almost hope that wouldn't hold up over the long. It'd be kinda cool to have a sticker inlay facelift ever so often.
  6. Those are really a great idea, Chris. I've got a couple of guitars that don't have any inlay on the fretboards. While I love the look, it's very hard for my students to figure out where I am on the neck.
  7. I never had any experience with American Musical, are they reliable? Yes. I've made a few purchases through their 3 or 5 Easy Pay Plans. Super simple to set up the plans (just click the 3 or the 5 depending on how much you've spent), gear as described, tracking info emailed, prices about the same as other online retailers, gear shows up on time (really kudos to UPS, but AMS ships when they say they ship). So far, so good.
  8. Stackabones - I saw your post on the Yamaha FS720S. How is it treating you so far? It looks beautiful and the body is "jumbo" (not the standard dreadnought), isn't it? I forgot to add that I do prefer a smaller and rounder body compared to the standard dreadnought as you guys might have been able to tell by my selections. It's a 000 with a dread depth -- small body, but deep body, and a short-scale neck with a narrow nut and narrow saddle. I love, love, love it! I'm just about two months into it and I've played about thirty-plus gigs, a ton of lessons, and countless jamming and noodling. Just keeps getting better. Due to the dread depth, it definitely feels a little different than other similar sized guitars. But I think the depth adds a bit more bass response and volume.
  9. The only downside is they aren't acoustic-electrics. You call that a downside? That makes them soooo much better imo. All-wood and no barndoor electronics plus a hardshell case. Win-win-win.
  10. (3) Takamine - GS430S G NEX - $300 (4) Yamaha FS720S - $280 I love the Tak. It was a top contender in my recent search for smaller body gits. I ended up the Yamaha FS720S. Here's my review. I'll answer any further questions you have about it.
  11. That back kinda looks like a grinning face!
  12. Nice looking git, djma! Welcome to the forums!!! Got any clips?
  13. ^^Cool^^ I kinda dig the body style. Wicked soundhole!
  14. Is this what you're talking about? So, what's the story, Funderbunk? Have you played one? Details!
  15. im not the apostle paul Dante? I'm not Aeneas, I'm not St. Paul ...
  16. No photos? Could you please not type in ALL CAPS?
  17. Originally posted by Poparad That's a bunch of idyllic bullshit. Knowing what you're doing doesn't make it any less special; it only allows you to get there more quickly and make the magic more consistantly. ... Whether you do it by ear or you know what the right notes are, or, better yet, use both tools, there's still a lot of creativity and choice involved, and it is never any less magic no matter how much you know about what you're doing. +1
