I go to the car when the night is over with my 'bud in one hand and my twin reverb in the other for balance.

James, that's pretty serious. Glad I'm on your good side!

Actually, Marc, I'd like to tell ya I can hold them straight out, like Marines in basic training. But I'm just not that big of a liar.

The grunt factor is up there, and I leave tracks in the asfault in the summer. I do cheat lately though, putting my twin in a head cab. I might try one of Kevin's split cases sometime, so I can cheat a little more.

If you are looking for more than just tone and a great feel of a great guitar, and also want a look like none other, Look for a new Mullen. Customized to the one of a kind look. The Mullen crew did a great job on my Custom SD10 G2. I'll post as soon as I can. Larry

My Emmons Push Pull is a pretty easy guitar to play.And since I have added the Steel Guitar Black Box, to it. It's even sweeter sounding.

Danny Bates, you always have the correct answer!

I thought it was Iggy Pop

The Mullen G2 Eagle is now posted on the Mullen Site under the Custom Creations section. Take a look, Thanks, Larry

And as sure as you're born as soon as a builder like Fulawka for instance makes something beautiful and different there will be somebody posting "Why does it cost so much?"

Bought the P/P below in 1973,the only change is the pickups, it plays today same as it did 35 years ago and looks great, stays in tune and sound wonderful, what a great steel guitar, Shorty

You got that right Shorty,heard you play it many times,Not only does it make you sound good,you make it sound good. Glad your new gig is doing good. I'm rooting for you guys. YOU BETCHA, DYK?BC.

I'm Proud of charlie, he still carry's around an old MSA, you know that sounds good, weldone charlie!

What model MSA was it again??

As far as old and heavy, anybody using a; Ummm, Wheelie cart????

I like the way Danny Bates thinks. You don't need a younger guitar, just younger roadies!

Plus she can keep those pesky Sho-Bud groupies at bay... if you want.

Darn you Danny, I'm trying to work her! This is a horrible (wonderful) distraction!

(#1 Danny Bates fan)

Yes Bobbe, those Sho-Bud girls can be terribly distracting.

I hate when they always make us go to the front of the stage and hold their feet on the pedals...

I'm sure you've heard many times..."What does this knee lever do Bobbe?" "What about this one?"

As if they could ever wear fingerpicks with those long nails!

Damn, this can sure be a tough business! Makes you feel like you work in a women's shoe store.

As far as old heavy guitars go, I remember being told you only got to carry it in to the venue once, you got to listen to it all night !!!!!

That would be my pleasure, in the right hands

My first guitar was a green shobud ldg. Worst guitar I have ever owned!! The pedals and undercarriage rattled and clanked like a steam engine. On the plus side when I did "Orange Blossom.." I had all the sound effects free of charge!!

Coop relacement parts fix that problem.

A Cooped Sho-Bud makes them equal or superior mechanicaly. Coop parts. The great equalizer.

One guy will drive a hot rod model T, and another guy wants his antique to be restored original. Yet other guys get more excited about Hummers, and Lexus. Ain't the world a beautiful place?
