In the middle?!?I wish, it's the only one with the pickups arranged that way - Lull necks are detachable

New stand day. Thanks again to @Miles_ONeal for the heads up the other day about the MF Stupid Deal of The Day. Wife is happier now with the little setup in the corner of the bedroom. I wanted to put up Diamond Life racks, but she nixed that plan.
Dude, get two more yokes and you can fit 8 birds.
It’ll supposedly hold ten electric guitars or basses. So I’ll maybe get a couple more to move more of the birds into the bedroom.
Send Miles to pick it up for you.
See, that ‘79 Greco is looking more like a good deal every day.
I wouldn’t go more than 8 or you’ll risk hitting the ones on either side when you pull them out. I have 8 in mine.
Has your band played out yet?
Yeah. Maybe one or at most two for a max total of nine. It’s a Hercules so it’s well made. It was an unbelievable good deal on that one day sale.
No, still working on the first set...vocals are a real issue. One guitarist is fine with blues (Roadhouse Blues and The Thrill is Gone). The other guitarist thinks he's a lead singer but is off key and forgets the lyrics. I think the BL is starting to recognize we need a real front man, preferably with key skills. Instrumentally, we are ready to go. Rehearsal in 30 minutes.

Or front woman. Talk to Chuck. See who he knows. That blond from his old band could possibly be available and might work?
That’s why surf is so great. Who needs a singer with that stuff.
An off key singer can kill everything.
Back in the day, I was fortunate to play with a lead guitarist who could sing most everything. And on key. The very talented Jean Mayer (Dan Fogelberg’s widow) was our main singer. We weren’t half bad, if I do say so myself.
Have a sit down with the BL. Ply him with home brew. Come up with a plan, including telling the off key guitarist that he is not a singer.
I am so ready to get back out there, iI can’t stand it. You’re lucky. Dave.
Caveat: First time band rehearsal with this song. Recorded with a cell phone capturing the output of a PA that is running 4 instruments and 2 mics through 4 6" speakers. Not ideal recording with a lot of mic distortion. Be kind

Behind due to work. I'll listen later. Getting a team/committee to come to a decision is like herding frogs at times. Sometimes they move but in unpredictable directions. And three engineers are part of that team!
Two are great, one is the classic over-thinker type.
