I think Connie liked it just fine although I don't think he was really aware of what he had till youse guys pointed it out to him. He brought his Rainsnot 12 but figured that he would be best to leave it in the car so he borrowed that one. It was also used for a photo shoot at www.workshoplive.com, a new company that should prove real exciting. It's run by Dave Smolover who has had the National Guitar Workshops for the last 22 years. I'm on their board and they also used a bunch of the others I've got lying around the house for pictures as well.

You have a superfluous comma in your link W2.

Try this one.

;)

However, that takes the viewer to a demo login page asking for email address and password (at least it did in my case). :confused:

(edit: s/spurious/superfluous/g because I decided I like it better)

"Superfluous, Comma"
That could be my next band name.

....and Brian T has inspired me. Though, I already use mediums, i don't think that is manly enough...

I'm stringing the FD14 with 16 gauge double barbed wire.

Rusty barbed wire.

From a defunct Llama farm.

I'm buying a set of 6 to use as tuner covers.

I think the OFC store should carry them.

I love those barbed wire strings, they are GREAT for slide guitar.

Sorta reminds me of a Texan friend of mine who has a bass strung with worn out chain saw chains (They made a movie about him). The funny thing about it was the 2 cycle gas engine concealed in the body that actually drove the strings in the event of a bar fight or a fire that requires the creation of an exit quickly. The only problem is that when he was drunk or lazy (most of the time), he used the engine to lay down the bass line. If you think that's funny, try "Orange Blossom Special" when his throttle sticks wide open, our fiddle player's fiddle burst into flames like a boy scout's fire starting award, the Ovation playing rythym guitar player blew out his lyracord early vintage shiny guitar back like a burst brown bubble gum bubble by forcing chords into it faster than they could get out, my mandolin threw eight tuning pegs with machine gun bullet-like effect and the banjo player lifted five feet off the ground because of the helicopter effect of his five string picking fingers just like a bumble bee that cannot fly theoretically.

Sadly, it was the only time we ever got a standing OVATION

Every couple of years this subject comes up and I try some of the recommendations but end up go back to the D'Addario EXP16's. This year I needed to restring a couple of my guitars so I thought I would try the Dean Markley Alchemy Gold Bronze-CL and they really do seem to sound better.

I just orderd some of the Dean Markley Alchemy from the Music Motel I figured one set can't hurt to bad. What's kinda strange is this web page they seem to sell quite a bit of items other than music related, Might be a bad thing in the long run, I tried to purchase from a place in VA called guitaraffecs which never shipped my order it was for only 17.00 dallars but I just thought I would try them out. Hope this place isn't the same

I've been using the Alchemy strings for about the past year and I find them really great. Especially on the 1537.
