Well? Get another cup of coffee and start frekin' typing..

BTW, do you know of anyone "local" (tri state area) who sets up and/or
works on electric guitars?

Two in my area. *Both are "Music Unlimited" stores. *One is in Kingston,
about 2 miles away and the other is in Hanover , about 12 miles. *They both
are staffed by musicians, pro and not so pro, but all are knowledgable and
many attended schools of music.

I have a couple of places here like that, but I really want a
professional mechanic to check this out for me. I think I have heard
of the guy Salty reccomended in Middletown, I may give him a call.



They provide lessons on just about any instrument and do repairs,
refurbishments, etc, on guitars.
I am going to bring my Taylor 12 string down to them, have it checked out,
adjusted, restrung and, if possible, have the new piezo sensor and controls
installed to convert it to acoustical/electric. * The newer, six string
Taylor I have has this system factory installed, and it sounds great,
especially on an amp specifically designed for acoustic/electrics. *I use a
65 watt "Kustom" for it and it sounds right at home playing along with the
Eagles. * If I use a regular, solid body electric guitar amp like the little
Marshall I use for the electrics only, it sounds horrible.

I have a Martin Backpacker, love it but wanted to plug it in. Now this
is a small guitar with not a lot of wood already but mine has a
"sweet" piece of wood, everyone who has heard or played it, agrees.
Anyway, I was told by many folks not to tap into the body for a
pickup, that is could change the sound, even a 1/4 inch hole which I
would have needed. I opted for a Dean Markely acoustic pickup, it
sticks to the body with putty. I imagine this solution may not be
acceptable to your ears and up to speed with your equipment, but for
me it worked fine. Now you can get the Backpacker from the factory
with the pickup built in.

I have an Ovation 6 string, and a Takamine 12 that are acoustic/
electric... They both sound good to me, but again I have little
experience to know the difference... I like em' though. Good luck with
the new Fender. My wife saw one a few months back and had me look at
it, I ended up with something else..

Among my guitars and percussion stuff, I've got a Takamine 12 string
that I like really well. It's not an expensive guitar, lists for about
$350, but it sounds good, also, I bought it used for less than half
that!

I had a Takamine at one time. It was an excellent guitar. I remember it
was easy to play compared to some others I've had.

You know how I can tell a decent guitar .... well, at least to my amateur
standards anyway?

If I can finger a difficult chord ... fingers stretched out and the index
finger doing the bar thing across the fretboard and it sounds ok .... to me
it's a decent guitar. I have a couple that no matter how precisely I tune
it up, some chords sound out of tune, while the rest sound fine.

If you are referring to me, I'm certainly not newly converted,nor am I
righteous. I'm just wondering why this newsgroup is so clogged with
posters who never or hardly ever have anything of consequence to say
about boats, fishing, whatever. It's not just that it is still winter in
the northern climes, because many of us up here are already planning or
working on boating/fishing related activities in anticipation of the
upcoming thaw. There's plenty of boating-fishing discussion in a couple
of the discussion group boards I frequent, places where non-contributing
turds like Reggie or Loogy would be tossed out on their butts on their
first day, and banned from returning.

Harry,
Instead of making blanket derogatory statements about people who oppose
abortion, people who are republican, or people who own a boat that is
different than yours, why don't you leave this "useless NG" and visit
the other great boards where you are appreciated.

Do the other NG's allow you to tell people they are sexual oppressed and
enjoy controlling woman because they believe abortion is killing an
unborn baby?
