The Best Guitar Ever?View Messages“The Eagles of Death Metal and Band of Horses are a couple of newer bands with a good classic feel to them” 9:23:37 AM 12/08/09 “shank you. vock out vich yer cock out.” 9:28:28 AM 12/08/09 “Far be is from me to promote thread degradation but..........who/what killed or marginalized (classic) rock and roll? Disco? Hair Nation?” 9:31:29 AM 12/08/09 “time. music makes large changes every decade or so. the music everyone`s playing starts feeling stale, and lo! a new genre is born” 9:33:29 AM 12/08/09 “It is still around, but it has evolved. Rosey, you gots mail. Back on topic.... I need help posting pictures of the beast guitar(s) ever!” 9:33:33 AM 12/08/09 “Howz `bout yoo, Pepsis? I can email the picture.” 9:35:11 AM 12/08/09 “back at ya. ya gotta host it somwheres.” 9:41:49 AM 12/08/09 “Did you get the email and were you able to see the picture?” 10:23:41 AM 12/08/09 “ ![]() I wouldn`t say it`s the best ever but My lovely bride got me one of these and it`s pretty sweet. It definitely takes some getting used to to play but it`s a serious, quality instrument. I took it on the Buffalopalooza hike....well at least part of the hike anyways. It`s almost too nice to go dragging around the woods....” 10:28:54 AM 12/08/09 “I have taken my son`s Martin Backpacker on some trips. The lack of playability makes for a good training device and it is a lot of fun on the trail.” 10:32:39 AM 12/08/09 “Yeah I agree. It`s way better than nothing when you`re hiking. I was just really impressed how well it`s made, stays in tune, intonation etc.” 10:37:19 AM 12/08/09 “I gots the email with the pics but cant post on pic sites from verk or I would do you the favor.” 10:43:09 AM 12/08/09 “Marko, try something like photobucket (they`re still free, right?) - once you upload it, you can post the picture on here. I`m in the same boat as Rosey, I can`t do jack here at work” 10:53:33 AM 12/08/09 “good guitar players are out there - but what happened to the bands?” HighPlainsDrifter 5:13:43 AM 12/08/09 YO HPD! Want me to send you some new cool stuff? I do agree, it is tough to find new music with a soul.” 10:56:04 AM 12/08/09 “Best guitar? Mine. Very very low mileage. Gently strummed once or twice.” 11:09:55 AM 12/08/09 “lol” 11:10:49 AM 12/08/09 “sure WK, what do you have.” 11:12:08 AM 12/08/09 “all my guitars are so used and abused, I could never resell them. Nor would I want to” 11:12:54 AM 12/08/09 “Ever hear of Wilco, My Morning Jacket or Son Volt?” 11:26:27 AM 12/08/09 “or the White Stripes” 11:27:24 AM 12/08/09 “I can build you a nice new one, Pepsis.” 11:40:53 AM 12/08/09 “No, I thought I heard of Wilco, but I'm thinking of Meco. http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&oi=video_result&ct=res&cd=1&ved=0CAoQtwIwAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DcWUp2MhVvwQ&ei=k6seS7X-BY7AlAfG34SKDA&usg=AFQjCNELYYM0xsroCH6ZT0ulr_wZ28WGCA&sig2=01VjvPMMpBugMmmeSbxPGQ” 11:41:37 AM 12/08/09 “Send me an email with your home address and I will see if I can get you some tunes before Christmas.” 12:09:51 PM 12/08/09 “right” 12:21:25 PM 12/08/09 Hey MarkO “This young lady will be preforming in my town in January http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5PFVuRyfMBU” 12:42:58 PM 12/08/09 “Nice stuff, Coco~! There are a lot of really good young women in music............Things have changed. Mike Doughty played in my town at the Recher Theater 25 Nov and Davy Knowles on 26 Nov. http://www.rechertheatre.com/ People have to find the good music and not expect commercial radio to offer it.” 1:14:50 PM 12/08/09 “MarkO, a nice new guitar? Really? You build guitars? if you`re serious, I might take you up on that sometime next year” 1:36:35 PM 12/08/09 “In the last few months I build three Telecasters for myself and my son and one for a friend. Finished necks and bodies are widely available and I can set `em up with any of a wide variety of pickups. The ones I built all have the vintage style bridge with the three compensated brass saddles and different pickup types for a "taste test". I can set them up to play real nice. Next project will be a Stratocaster. I have everything but a body and tremolo bridge on hand. (if my wife only knew how much "stuff" I have accumulated......) Last winter I built a P Bass from parts. I am a master of 1950`s technology!” 1:46:12 PM 12/08/09 “That is The Trailing Edge Of Technology, by golly.” 1:50:37 PM 12/08/09 “damn, that`s hardcore” 1:51:15 PM 12/08/09
