4 sets of rnr covers have gotta be fun. When it’s no longer fun, time to stop, for me. I record ALOT as that Is my passion, and I go to a serious monthly blues jam where I really let it rip simply because I can. I let it rip simply because it is fun to do so and I still love doing it. A proper pick slide still sends chills up my spine and puts a smile on my face. When it stops being fun, I’ll stop. I am almost 62 and I don’t see or feel that happening anytime soon…

Concentrate on your originals. You have answered your own question.

Praying for you right now. Get through this, brother!

Christmas 1978 was a cheap one pickup POS electric in sunburst from the JC Penney catalog…it came with a POS solid state amp. Man, was I happy. AN ELECTRIC GUITAR!! First thing I tried to play the moment Impicked it up was the Ted Nugent solo on Wang Dang Sweet Poontang. Within 2 years I had upgraded to a used 1976 Gibson Explorer after seeing the shark on the cover of Women and Children First.

You guys got me into Wilko and Dr. Feelgood…and English pub rock/blues rock is right up my alley. Such good stuff!

Are you having any playing issues due to the alleged neck issue? I am just asking because this was just about the binding initially. Does it play like normal? How does the need for a neck reset present itself?

Nice guitar! Glwts

I would LOVE to have it, but too rich for my blood.

This seller is VERY legit and posts here. Great guy.

I have Keeley Dynomyroto that works for me on those very rare occasion where I actually want chorus.

Praying for you right now. curious…did you have any pre-stroke symptoms?

Wow, that is perfect with the cream covers and the third pickup.what a rocker.

Yup, EVH, Angus, and lots of late 70s rockers used the original SD unit…kinda like the Echoplex….the preamp becomes a major part of the tone.

GLWTS.I have a Lake Placid CruiseBass with the matching headstock and the neck is so easy to play.

Congrats on a nice Standard.

…or here.The HFC is where you want to buy your USA Hamers, @ARM OF HAMER.As you well know, we take care of each other here. What are you looking for?

Wow….GLWTS

That is the one I do regret selling….

@RobB FTW!

If you have uncovered buckers you like, it might be easier to just buy a set of gold covers….you can even have someone age/patina them.

The All Down The Line guitar story is cool….Ted Newman showed up in France with a Rickenbacker for Keith.He immediately removed the 6th string and tuned it to open G to play the rhythm for ADTL. Taylor then picked it up in open G and played the slide fills and solos. Other than Brian playing a 360/12 on several early Stones tunes (most notably Get Off My Cloud) I cannot think of another Stones song featuring a Ric.

Day-um. And it is the right color and the right board to boot.

Congrats on a unique and gorgeous Standard.

Thanks, Chris!
