The filthy rich deserve the best.

Just registered my NAMM pass. I’ll see you attendees on the Saturday for sure.

Teja is a wonderful man. Kind and gracious, he has hang time and let me play his guitars.

Seasoned Greetings!

I’ve seen SCGC guitars as high as $40 k these days. Ancient Kauri, 3,000 year old Spruce, 45 style inlay,$14,000 Brazilian add ons.

The high end is beyond my reach.

Being a Cruz owner for 41 years, I’ve seen a few SCGC forums die and be reborn.

Index and Daniel keep this one free from the scam and bot attacks hat killed the others.

If the Forum were to connect with Instagram, there might be more traffic.

Almost 2 years ago, I had a 30 minute NYE gig in the works.  After I wrote out 30 minutes of music, a mix of my own and early Frank Zappa, in Standard changes, I realized the sax was in B Flat.

After struggling through one rewrite, I gave it to the sax player to transpose the music.

I play most every day going back and forth between Standard and Altered tunings. Scales covering three octaves up and down the neck, complicated changes, bluegrass, jazz, rock, blues, surf music.

Fun stuff.

Ralph Bown makes just what you need. Sell the Cruz. You’ll make a tidy profit.

Talk to Tad about the best pickup for the Dread.

When I got my Cruz Missile, I was playing in dropped D and Open D.

After hearing Richard Thompson play Banish Misfortune,I discovered DADGAD.

Alex DeGrassi gave DADEAD  and I started to get creative with other tunings. DADGCD and CGDGAD work well.

[dwarfrat]

I’ve used 7 of them.

Richard might tell me to leave it alone.

Tony Rice Pros have Euro tops.

Bakersfield has had a cooler than average June. This weekend it will be 109 and 108.
