    Re: Hey! Guitar players, let's chat.

    What is it with the guitar? I started playing about 25 yrs ago, and I still can't do it properly ) For me, playing is a route to other dimensions in my mind - like meditating. Sometimes I can play and sing for hours and at the end of the session feel like I've dropped a tab. To be honest when I play something that I like, it's as if the music comes from somewhere outside of me and I my input is only a small part of the whole....


    I play Suzuki and Seagull acoustics, and a not very good Thompson Strat copy which I got to replace a Bulgarian woman, but that's another story.

    Oh well, back to Earth and my partially functional Voodoo 5 card.

    Re: Hey! Guitar players, let's chat.

    Any of you guys found a copy better than the real thing?

    I tried about seven different Fender Telecasters over the period of a month, and eventually bought a Squier Affinity, simply because it sounded better and the woodwork was higher quality (really!).

    I've stripped the body completely of the awful turquoise paint and found that underneath there is a very nice maple cap. I replaced the wiring, changed from a three- to four-position switch and earthed the p/u cover for the neck pickup separately, and I've replaced the pots with high quality jobs, along with the jack socket.

    It sounds GORGEOUS! Finishing touches are an ivory white pick guard and reversed the control plate to put the volume control nearer my hand for violining.

    Sadly, I was NOT so fortunate with my semi, which is an ES 355 lookalike.

    The make is an obscure German one called Artisan, which I understand is made by Hohner. It's OK, but it needs more intonation compensation than the bridge is capable of, so I might have to replace it.

    How about you?

    I have a Squier Starfire IV, which is a semi-hollow body guitar based on the Guild Starfire IV and made after Fender bought Guild. My brother in law has the original. While they are each wonderful guitars, I have no complaints whatsoever with the Squier, and actually like the neck better.

    Wow, and my 3 year-old niece was asking me for a pink guitar just the other day. Nice!

    Re: Hey! Guitar players, let's chat.

    Hey! this thread is cool!.... I am a newbie Ununtu user and just learning guitar! I have a vintage 70's Taro Classical guitar and a new Paul Reed Smith Vintage Cherry SoapBar Electric! Just practicing with some chords so far, but have been invited by 2 guys, one a drummer and one a bass guitarist, to go jam with them in a basement! How cool is that!?!!! I play pretty much by ear but know some musical notation.

    All the best to everyone!

    Fred

    ps. Linux Ubuntu rocks!
