This might go for disgustingly cheap.
I don't have a clue as to why I would need a long-neck, so I ain't bidding. :eek: :p |

Location: Hot Springs, S.D. | Oh, it's a good thing I don't have an ebay account. I can't afford to buy anything right now, but I'd LOVE to try a long-neck. I sing in B or B flat usually, and this would make things so much easier. Alas, even though the car is running again, I just can't do it. I sure hope somebody here snags it though and decides to resell it when I've got the money. |

So I guess if I get a longneck and a capo I can play around on the first seven frets.
(But then I gotta buy longer strings, Right?)
And I'll be really annoyed if this goes for $400 and I don't bid on it... But I ain't bidding on it. |

Location: south east Michigan | My duo partner says we really, really, really need a couple longnecks.
I can think of maybe three songs where it might help take make the vocals easier, but just 3 songs are not enough to justify one. |

Seriously, try this out ... buy yourself a couple of sets of D'Adds EJ18s (.014 - .059, they call them heavy). Stick those on your UTE and tune it D G C F A D. Now you've got a poor man's baritone guitar ... that'll also rumble your guts a little. You can use it for those three songs during the gig and use the AD for the others.
I did this on my JL3 recently as I have a song I've written in G, with a bunch of pieces that work well, but I found an alternate fingering out of the A position that works really well as a second guitar. But if I move the song up two frets to be able to use the A fingering, I can't hit the notes in the chorus I need to sing. This solved my problem and also gave a really nice flavor to the tune. Using the heavies kept the right tension so that I don't have floppy strings or fret buzzes. |

I suggested that we compromise and save our money by just tuning down a half step for those 3 songs then tune back up again. |
