Two planes who pass in the night. Will you be back in Boston soon???
Let me know. BTW sorry the weather was bad while you were here. And did you happen to read the post about my daughter and the American Idol experience?? The winner, Catherine Porter was supposedly a big deal in the UK for a while. Have you heard of her?
I got some very unique information which are in actual fact very helpful for anyone. This is a post having some crucial information. I wish that in future such posting should go on.I am glad to visit on this site..Thanks a lot for sharing that..Thanks.
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. So a bit reverse look from normal. Electronically I'm going with three Strat pickups from Tonerider, having used there nashville set in the nashville tele conversion I did I was impressed. Five way switch master volume and tone. But I'm putting in a shape shifter switch ...
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...

Weather was very British - very wet, very windy... felt right at home.
