Location: Upper Left USA | Since this post has run to its volition (among other places) I will feel free to obl... talk about another experience.
Stopped into the slightly smaller Ted Brown Music tonight for strings, partial capo, fretboard oil, bread, milk, etc. Managersales points this guy to the right area for capoes and such. Completely unable to refrain I give my opinion on Kyser is best for constant changes but Schubb is better on a 12 and has a better profile - skip the elasto cheapo's unless you set it once and leave it. Fair enough - we share guitar talk. He looks at a couple of acoustics, tells me he loves his Takamine. He is left handed and had to flip it over and he may be having intonation problems and difficulty tuning. I share what I learnt from you'ins and talk about onboard tuners, adjustable bridges and Tak being a cousin of O. I pull down a 2003 Collector within arms reach - Oh yeah! Swap it out for the Elite LX standard in the Harvest Golden burst (can't remember the real color) with the book matched waving grain pattern in the top and demonstrate the OP Pro. Finger plucked a fair tune to show the jump and thump factor as he talked about saving up for one.
Checking out the Manager thanked me, said he had an Adamas. I gave him an Ovation Fan Club pick and an invite.
The POINT Oblio is this:
You become a "Member" when you post at 20 or so.
You KNOW you are a Member when you can no longer keep your mouth shut in a music store when people are making decisions based on sales hype or marketing alone. You know you are a Member when you find yourself giving two chapters or more of info from "The Book" and as much detail as an LX brosure to people in casual conversations. You know you are a MEMBER when you correct people on the pronunciation of the name "Kaman" or that "Charles" started it and "Bill" made it work when Every Red Blooded American Male at least wished he was a guitar player!
I believe I have segued both definitions while atop my soapbox. There was no alcohol or animal testing involved, thank you very much. |

A player of advanced technology roundback musical instruments who posts endlessly on a form of modern technology called a Bull---tin board, who can type on a keyboard much better than play on a fret board and has visions of actually communicating the various idiotic opinions that even his wife won't listen to.
Best when avoided after 1:00 AM, many of them are named Paul.
