Understood. That '61 175N would be around 15k today :shocked: $2.29 for what I'm assuming is a hot house tomato? Just don't put it in the fridge. Up until a few yrs ago I was growing my own,...

My first Gibson

As much as I respect Bruno, I nearly stopped when he claimed that shell voicings aren't really chords and that those who promote them "never played a jazz gig in their life." I first learned shell...

Mel Bay's Rhythm Chord System used by?

I am actually very familiar with all of the chords presented in that Mel Bay system. Back in the late 60s, with the aid of a teacher, I literally went through the whole book and all of the...

No. Tele single coils sound fatter than Strat pickups. Strats have that scooped and thin but sweet thing going on. Think funk rhythm guitar.

Do the Tele and Strat neck pu’s sound similar? How about the bridge pu’s?

Itching for a Fender, which one?

My first Gibson

I'm afraid that's only half the battle, my friend. To me, "readily available" means affordable. If the cost of living had stayed the same and the pay scale for gigs had kept pace with the cost of...

My first Gibson

A tele would give you the least culture shock assuming that you are coming from archtops and/or Gibson style guitars and pickups. Strats and Jazzmasters have more distinct sounds. But then maybe...

Itching for a Fender, which one?

Yes, it will be very different. I'm going to stick with a few really beloved guitars and 2-3 amps. I know what I like to play, I know what people pay me to play, and they're mostly the same thing, so...

Starting Over Again - House Fire

You sound good and seem at ease with the instrument. One thing I noticed is you almost sound bored of your lines. You have practiced them a lot perhaps. How comfortable are you with going outside...

Advice on how to improve my playing

Keep doing what you're doing and you'll be fine. If you want space, pause for an uncomfortable amount of time and then start again, that probably wasn't even a long enough pause. Bonus points if...

Advice on how to improve my playing

Yeah, that was "eye catching". Also in black, for them Johnny Cash songs. This would have been a good guitar for Fender to try out a black Richlite fretboard...
