I think I'm losing it - bought 3 guitars just this week
- Thread starter MakoMan
- Start date
I wanted a headless instrument so bad that I ended up buying a Spirit Steinberger guitar last week. I had wanted a headless bass at first (NS Design; didn't ship to where I was / Ibanez EHB; wasn't available and couldn't afford it last week anyway. When the urge is NOW, there's no time to save).
The guitar came with some finishing issues at the fretboard and, seeing this thread, I can't help but think that it is karma for thinking I could replace that real low end with an octave pedal.

Would you believe my music room and guitar habit kicked off because I needed something to do with my hands when quit smoking?!! Got a keyboard in there somewhere...
It's an Eko Ranger. I stumbled upon it at a boot sale last year. Guy was asking £130 for it. The strings were ancient so I got him down to £110. It has an aluminium nut and adjustable bridge. Sounds marvellous.
Fixed that problem by making the guitarist notate the capo position next to the song title on the set list.Especially when they forget just which fret the capo is supposed to go on so you have to figure it out on the run and transpose on the fly. Fun times
That's a good way to do it. I woulda put a Post-It on his schnozz. But then he wouldn't be able to read it, I guess.
