Why don’t they stop being so stubborn and use the two-piece? I’d get one for sure if they did.
Equally odd they are shown with what looks like standard black plastic Tbird pups vs the chrome ProBuckers.
Oh well, everybody do the Gibson shuffle, it’s two steps forward and one step back.
I’m still holding out for an Eppi NR, might be a long wait though.

Get a Gibby, paint over the decal, buy an Epiphone TRC. Voila.:whistle:
 
I’ve never been good enough to play a lot of things note for note but (a) I’m trying to up my game and (b) I like being able to insert a recognizable part into a completely different song.
When I’m playing covers, I try to play the “signature” parts and get the groove right. With further listening, I will often find stuff that I missed.

We do nothing but covers. I try to duplicate the 'original' bass line from the hit version. 'Course there's no telling how many takes/revisions it went through to get it. Or how that group plays it now.

Maybe I should just start a Youtube channel called Lazy Left Hands. Almost all the covers I work on are dumbed down since my left hand has a mind of its own...and a low IQ.
 
I can't seem to get that to come up. I'd like to know more about them.
even though I can't afford one.

Look here, there's way more than what I posted. How much of it is speculation vs. what will come to pass is anyone's guess.

Actually, the Tbird ‘60s and NR Orginal Collections look pretty sweet! Colors, pups and hardware are pretty much what I’ve been waiting for. Wonder what the cost will be and when they might release them.
 
Of course. I missed the cat b4.:bag:
Seriously, it must've been fun(?)stacking those things. (I didn't know they made apartment size forklifts).

I hate moving this thing in my apartment:

Strap button placement Wednesday!


For bass and treble geetars I really like heel placement, birds, SG’s, V’s, etc…

I do like the upper horn placement on Rick’s, FSO’s, and my new Embassy. But I don’t like horn placement on treble geetars. Like on strats.

I was trying to figure out why I didn’t like my Gretsch as much as my other DC’s and the strap button is on the horn, it’s a short horn but it still feels off, I’m going to move the button this afternoon..
