Just got back from the company fishing trip.
No bets...
Were the tuna biting?
My pops told me to never mess with "biting tunas"...or any other fish that bites...he hated fishing. Get your minds outta the friggin gutters.Were the tuna biting?
Don’t laugh, it may be my Bernie.
Don’t hurt yourself.
Most of my fiddles are offsite now,
I dream of one just like thatThe McCarty 594 is my woodiest sounding one, which kinda makes sense since it’s one heckuva hunk o’ wood!
I’ve posted this pic too many times, but what the heck...maple top, African ‘hog back, Madagascar RW fretboard. The birds are mammoth ivory, which is why they’re not all sparkly.
I love a woody. Tone, that is. Tone.
That top one is 10 different kinds of gorgeous. Wow.No Mr Woody...all my guitars are female.
But I do have a trio of candidates for Ms Woody. <SNIP
One of these days I will get around to posting a dedicated and detailed thread on these 3...my concept was a personal collection of 3 Private Stock guitars, each with a different exotic wood top in a natural finish, with hollow construction (0, 1 and 2 f-holes), all with Brazilian necks and piezo bridges...to maximize the open woody sounds of these instruments. They all sound great unplugged...and produce excellent amplified acoustic tones...but of course that’s what they were conceived/designed to do. Because of the all-natural theme...they were named for my favorite mythological Earth Goddesses (Egyptian, Roman and Greek). I’ve posted the three individually over the past few years it took to complete the run, but don’t think I ever reviewed the concept...which seems appropriate for this thread.
Here are the Three Earth Goddesses:
Isis:
Terra:
Gaea:
This may be a little bit of a surprise, but I have a SE Soapbar II Maple that sounds great unplugged.
11 Top? Tonart?Deep in a bunker in an undisclosed location?
If you ever feel like parting with the Koa goddess, you know who to contact!
11 Top? Tonart?
I remember that from the first time you commented on me posting a pic of itNooooo!!! <falls to knees in the pouring rain with clenched fists raised as a crack of lightning illuminates his agonized expression>
I'm totally not a drama queen!
But, yeah, in all seriousness, I am a huge fan of that guitar.
This response shows how jaded we are. He could respond with, “Norwegian drunken unicorn hoof” and we’d nod our heads and respond, “nice”.Walnut?
I remember seeing 11top’s DIBS on that one, so I better not stand in his way. If he captures me and stacks all his guitars onto me in some secret torture SAW style chamber, I won’t be able to breathe after the 4th singlecut (though he swears by not exceeding 8lbs I believe).11 Top? Tonart?
EDIT: forgot to answer the first question - we’re in the process of moving
