Pose,
The transition from a guitar to a keyboard was a piece of cake. I still have a couple great guitars, but I'm gonna' sell them soon. One is an Ibanez 6 string acoustic that I've had for 20 years, the other is a Yamaha 12 sting acoustic that I've had for about the same length of time. Both are in new condition. Any bidders?
Gary

Addendum: After he called me a sissy and I quit, a few years later, I was seriously into sports. Football especially. Band guy wanted me to join the band. Nope. I'm the QUARTERBACK, I'm not going to play in the band. The band dude recruited a graduated quarterback that also played in the band. He approached me and told me "Ever notice how many girls there are in the band? You've never been on a band trip have you? Because YOU'RE NOT IN THE BAND, dummy. We have a great band, you would love it. (They did.) I joined, started on trumpet, then he put me on snare drum. I had a ball! That was a great time. We had a great band, for little bitty town, we kicked some butt. Awhile back, I heard "In The Mood" on Lawrence Welk Show that my mom was listening to. I commented that we used to play that number. And I mean, well! I need to look up that band director, I think he's still alive.

Nigel: Your a man of many talents! Put on a auzzie outback hat,you could be crocodile dundie (Paul Hogan) I have a bunch of grandkids over on the SW corner. Liked your funky music mp3. Must have done this tune a thousand times in 80's bars in the bay area. I've got 6 guitars all fenders except one (1978 ovation that's maybe been played a hour total). Only play one, a fender mustang I bought in 1967 at a yard sale for 35 bucks it looked like it had been around the horn 3 times. refinished and set it up, installed two gibson humbuckers and a new set of tuners the parts we're over 3 hundred bucks at that time, but I would'nt sell or trade this guitar for anything I've ever seen and played. Never found another guitar player that could play it though, some can't handle the ernie super slinkies (9's) the rest can't keep it from distorting, about 3/32nd of a inch at the twelve fret. Takes a gentle touch but it's nice. The old mustangs are a sleeper in my opinion, some don't like the 1/2 in shorter scale, I love it (alows me to stretch out on some chords) most claim they don't stay in tune, They don't know how to set them up, (But from the factory, Fender did'nt either) (when set up right they have the best tremelo out there, and they stay in tune.) I'm a dyed in the wool Barney kessel and Tony Matola kind of guy, but have played it all, flemenco to chicken pick'en.Been Playing guitar for 63 Years, started in 1942. Now My thumbs are gone can only play maybe 20 percent of what I use to and then for only a few minutes and the left hand starts to swell up. Stopped playing music for several years, missed it so bad, so took up the keyboard about 3 years ago, really miss the guitar, but now I can play by myself, I still play guitar a little but most all the musicians around here are country, so I usually play the mandolin or bass ( still hard to find bass player's that show up) ![](http://www.synthzone.com/ubbs/biggrin.gif) I've got a studio full of old Fender gear, they call me the Fender man around here, thought about selling some stuff, but You can't get the sound I like without the old gear. I sold half of my favorite amp about 10 years ago, I used to use 2 duo showman reverbs with vibrato heads setting on 2 of the big cabinets with 2 15's and a horn in each. I had installed 2 8" fender speakers in each head. These rigs sat on each side of the stage when we did large jobs. I controlled each from a pedal board I built up ( had 8 footswitches along the front) and three of the first built Morleys pedals. Glad to hear from fellow members who still or use to pick. some setting on a fortune in gear. Gary Last offer, trade you a mandolin case (no lid) A accordian MIssing a few keys, and bellows might have to be re/duct-taped. and a trombone that got ran over (a little) Cheers....Pose
