Otherwise my position stands as stated: I think you don't have someone antique your new guitar, any more than I want someone to sell me a cabinet that is brand new; but looks thirty years old because it's been beaten with chains and sand-blasted and tortured under lamps. You want looks? Play it. A lot.

I might want reliced cabinets. Maybe my cabin in the woods has a rustic look, but the cabinets are broken, and I want them to match. I don't want a whole new kitchen, man. Not a whole new kitchen!

Dr. Faustus posted:

I know you don't like it. You don't have to like it.

But I'm the original owner of this guitar. Is it older than you? I'll wager it plays better than you.

You might play better than me (that's a pretty safe bet, really), but your guitar does not. It doesn't play better than anything. It's an inanimate object.

I am a mess and I know it. I am passionate about my love of music and instruments, but that in no way excuses my stupidity in arguing online about it.

Please bear with me while I try to address these flaws in myself.

It's not like you haven't seen me in every kind of stupid flamewar.
I promise to try to do better.

Have I got a thread for you! (They'll probably recommend a concert-sized Kala, and buying from a dealer that sets the uke up before shipping it, such as The Ukulele Site.)

I played around with an autoharp back in said yesteryear (my best friend's dad probably still has it), and let me state for the record: autoharps suck.

They begin again

Ever since owning an 8 string I've sworn off anything that looks painful to tune/restring. This is why I'll never own a 12 string guitar.

Real facts: banjos are king. Buy a maple bluegrass banjo and be a folk bluegrass hero.

I wouldn't say that the autoharp "brings this together" but isn't an unwelcome addition https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A2SIbH1ycXw

Not really fair when its Garcia/Grisman. You'd need to put the autoharp in drop D to ruin that.

New toy day! I've had the Tele for a few months but never got around to taking a picture, just got the HT-1 in today and I'm loving it in comparison to my old Peavey Vypyr. So pumped, and apparently my dog is too because she won't leave it alone.

It's made its way into some twee music, it's pretty irritating and always slightly out of tune

I've always had a raging hard on for silverburst ever since I saw Adam Jones playing a silverburst LP. Since those are silly expensive and I wanted a Tele anyways I figured I'd combine the two.

I just picked up a Toronado. I'm usually not into offset guitars but this filled a need that my strat and tele couldn't. A couple of the saddles are stripped so I'll have to replace those before I can get the action just right. I'll pick up the original tone/volume knobs and some of the pickguard and pickup screws are corroded. Other than that it is in decent shape.
