Cd

There's one on ebay for $61.77. Pretty steep for a CD that's seller rated at a C condition...plus shipping.
After reading about it I'd like to get one too, but not for sixty bucks.
Good luck,
SG

Your band did justice to that song..really nice. I must've played it 5 times in a row.
I just came across your work on 'Ramblin Soul' by Melissa Carper this morning...great job there too! (If you would post a link to that?)...
Thanks

Great Legs

I have a set of both types of his legs: the COS chrome over steel, and the lighter chrome over alloy which he calls Airline Legs - considerably lighter. As above, they are great quality and reasonably priced. I received them fairly quickly too.

That's a great looking Gibson, Jack. I love a great sounding guitar that has worked hard and earned it's scars. 'Stuff That Works' as Guy Clark would say. Btw, that rescue Ric you had on here the other day was killer - very cool! I had to go back to that thread a few times. I acquired a Hudson Delux...

Bob, the way I heard it is the Paczki is traditionally made with a richer, sweeter dough than a regular doughnut. My go-to Mom & Pop bakery was already out of them, so I got these at the grocery. As soon as I got home I checked the mail and saw my Sentell pickups had arrived. So I put on the cof...

Armrest

Ray,
The Don Blood armrest is a keeper. You won't be sorry if you buy one, believe me - I have one myself on my Stage One, and it's held up well.
In fact, that's my black Stage One guitar in the picture from the link above.
Have fun,
Steve

That fiber and resin is called Ryertex, a brand name of a phenolic I believe. We used to use it in steel mills on overhead crane electrical boards. They had large contactors mounted on pieces of slate, and if that slate cracked or somehow got busted up we replaced it w a hunk of the Ryertex. Easy en...

I had a Commander a few years ago. Mine had two pots, kind of a low output, but it sure looked cool. Then I traded it for a BR-9, but that's a whole other story.

In my middle of the night meanderings I somehow got to this site after reading some on the Burritos and Sneaky Pete.
