Location: Reno, NV | I think that different brands react differently to stretching than others, Im guessing it has something to do with how they are wound, core material, wrap material, etc... While D'addarios dont seem to be effected as much sonically by stretching, the DR's Rares I tried sounded really warm and nice until I gave them a good tug, then they just went flat and lost all their sustain. I was a little disappointed with that. Haven't been much of a DR fan since. I like to bend a lot. |

Location: Campbell River, British Columbia | Dunno what's wrong w'it y'alls geetars... My main 'O' stays in tune for months at a time, and that's not just my bad ears, the tuner agrees!
Not so sure about the 12 though. I haven't changed the strings since it came. Really must do that one day....I'm sure the chiming will be angelic.
The T-head...well it's such a crippled athlete that I'm happy it stays in tune for a set at a time at least. It never leaves the studio anyway so it's no matter. |

In another forum there was a discusion about Celebrity and artists guitars(no not the Ovation ones)it was right after the Gibson Keifer Sutherland ES335 came out.
You have the Eric Claptons, the eric Johnsons, the Billie Joe whatever from GreenDay, yadda yadda yadda.
Well I thought loud mouth Rosie Deserved one of her own. :D :D
I figured her's needed to be a JUMBO!!
OK I'll quit |

Here you live in a country that has a beautiful piece of prose poetry for a constitution. (The preamble, at least)
You make (semi-reasonable) claims to be a democratic country defending the rights of free speech, freedom of association, and others.
Voltaire may have said it first, the British may have been the first to make it law, but you yanks take pride and honour in celebrating differences of opinion. Then ruin it all by censoring, intimidating, and threatening even your own citizens for disagreeing with a mob!
Just watched "Shut Up And Sing" last night.
Get a grip people! In most arguments, both sides manage to be wrong. |
