Casino Queen next?

nice "guess"

Got you?

oh this is going to be a nice finish. and then....

 

"goodnight and the new album is called ________ and we just put it up for download on our site. Wilco loves you."

sounds good to me

You do??? In Grand Rapids?

 

I love the Avetts. They are playing tomorrow night in Indy at The Vogue and damn, I almost did that except Wilco is just a tad further down the road in Bloomington. The Avetts played Fort Wayne a couple years ago and wow. We want them back. Now they're a lot more expensive though.

Hey Dan! We gonna get Wilco back up in Michigan one of these days?

 

(assuming you're still there and would want that)

I book bands for a venue that holds 1200, probably too small for Wilco, but I may try to book them. We had the Avett Brothers here in the fall, but the place is a community center that only books about 6 music events a year.

what's up Wendy!

did jeff punch someone?

what just happened?

liar song!

SHot

"Ashtray says you were up all night" my favorite opening line.

for some reason I don't like when he says "dear" in the song.

sounds like you need a regular setup and you might need the frets dressed. Your bridge isn't pulling off the body or anything like that is it?

Well, let me put it this way. I think it needs some minor tweaks (the action is too high and the intonation might be off by a smidge), but I have to think that after a decent set up, it will be close to perfect. It's got the usual nicks and dings that you'd expect from a guitar that is 44 years old, and I half assume that those nicks and dings drove the price down a bit. Any of those "imperfections" that might have driven the price down add character as far as I am concerned and have no impact on the sound which is all that I care about.

 

I pulled it out of the box, slapped a capo on the 5th fret, and played the opening to Sky Blue Sky and let me tell you this: the chills I got were worth the price of the guitar. Sounds exactly like the recording. That hammer-on on the 5th string...

 

I've never played a guitar with a 2 inch neck like this and it certainly will need a bit of adjusting by me. The high action on the guitar may be adding to my difficulty though.

 

Also, I realize that I've got my Ashley's tshirt on (from Ann Arbor). Make sure you get some beers there next time you are in A2.

Dude, I love Ashley's, best beer place in Ann Arbor, they have St. Bernardus 12 on tap! Anyway, yeah, my action was really nice, but the intonation was just slightly off, but when I got the setup done, it completely fixed all that, it now plays pretty close to perfect. It has such a warm sound, I love it. I'm glad you got that guitar man.

Because:

 

1. Life is too short.

2. I want to be like groovingdan (and Jeff).

 

 

AWESOME MAN! How do you like it?

So I decided to keep the guitar and sell my Taylor. The guitar just sounds so great. I'm having the L.R. Baggs M1 installed as we speak. I'm excited, I have a gig this weekend and I should get the guitar back this afternoon, hopefully I won't have any issues.

Here's the non-reversed (or correct) photo.

Hey, Anyone know what kind of sound hole pick up Jeff uses in concert?

I've been wanting to know this as well.

I'll trade you the Gibson for a Martin D-15. The D-15 has a Highlander undersaddle pup..sounds great, hard shell, feed back buster. Has been giged and used, shows wear but all repairs have been done right then and there. Light mods...bone pins, strap button and pickup. Fret board, neck and body always cleaned and polished on every string change. A guitar is a tool. I used it, I took care of it and never left a repair go unattended.

I'm interested... Got any pictures? Where do you live? I'm in Michigan.

So, I first bought this guitar because it was a great deal and I thought "I'll just sell this and make some money." Then when I got it, I fell in love with it and decided to sell my other acoustic a Taylor 310ce. Anyway, I'm trying to sell the Taylor, but the point is, that I need to sell one of them. I will sell the taylor (in great condition) for $975 and the Gibson for $1275. If anyone is interested, let me know.
