New England

Has been very hot and humid!

We've been busy visiting a bunch of places in CT - off to Boston soon after a quick visit to RI.

We've hired a Mercury Grand something... the quintisential American car :-)

    The quintisential American car? In other words, big, heavy, powerful, comfortable, horrible gas mileage, ill handling and an air conditioning system that could cool a ten-thousand square foot Iraqi palace? hahaha

    Glad you enjoyed the East Coast. Been hot and dry out here in California...and now our annual wildfire season has started. As per usual, all the canyon dwelling southern Californians are once again looking at having their homes reduced to cinders, and yet, they all refuse to live anywhere else. Whatever. Same every year. I guess its the price we pay for all this sunshine. No free lunch in this world, eh?

Hybrid Shape Shifter Tele on the way

Image
I'm building a new guitar. So three things influenced this one.   A hybrid tele / Strat body I saw, an interesting neck and particularly an interesting electronics option.  Here are the bits as arrived.  The body is a telecaster shape, telecaster neck pocket, telecaster control cavity but routed for 3 Strat pickups and a Strat style vibrato bridge.  The control cavity makes it different to many hybrid Telecasters a la the John Mayer model which have a more Strat like control cavity.  The body was advertised as "mahogany" it's quite red in nature but nice looks to be two piece centre jointed.  The neck is mahogany with a maple fingerboard and a maple skunk strip.

Five way switch master volume and tone.  But I'm putting in a shape shifter switch ...

Guitar Review - Vintage VE2000GG Gordon Giltrap Signature 12 string

Folks will remember my purchase a few weeks back of the Vintage Gordon Giltrap VE2000GG 12 string to replace my old Yamaha which sadly has seen better days... My requirement was for a nice playable 12 string electro-acoustic.  Most of my stuff is as you know acoustic rock orientated in the David Gray, John Mayer genre.  I'd had my eye on a Gordon Giltrap for a couple of years now anyway since a) I'm a big Giltrap fan b) I'd heard said Mr Giltrap use the 6 string version live a couple of times and was impressed c) it seems incredible value for money. Now then my life was made a touch my complicated by the appearance of the Paul Brett signature 12string.  This is a slight oddity in that this is a parlour sized guitar which to be honest wasn't my initial desire but has received rave reviews and also has been designed as a 12string from the ground up - unlike the Gordon Giltrap which is an adaptation of a 6 string design.  Not unusual to be fair most 12 strings ar...
