jimsan Posted November 5, 2012 Posted November 5, 2012 @mc240 I played a couple of these at a market on the sunshine coast, the Eumende (my spelling is probably way off) made up there but great cigar box guitars. 2

Guest JohnA Posted November 5, 2012 Posted November 5, 2012 Wondered when you'd show up John nice collection you've got there.How's the playing coming along still enjoying it mate and progressing slowly. At the point now were i can learn a song easily enough. Still need to work on my speed and a few techniques, but all in all, happy with my progress. Daughter is absolutely loving it. She has her end of year concert coming up and she is playing and singing these days....

Briz Vegas Posted November 6, 2012 Posted November 6, 2012 Gretsch 5122 electromatic with the pickup upgrade and a nice little Laney valve practice amp. I have a loop pedal also that was supposed to encourage me to practice. My other guitar is an Ibanez performance acoustic. I got the Gretsch in the hope it would be easier to play, which it is in some ways. They come out often enough but calling me a hack would be generous. It's still fun makin' a noise for some reason. 3
LogicprObe Posted November 6, 2012 Posted November 6, 2012 Download some backing tracks from the net. Even the crap ones are OK for playing along. Makes practice easier and the time flies. 1
Two Flies Posted November 6, 2012 Author Posted November 6, 2012 (edited) Nice Gretsch Briz the cat worries me, test drive a Fender gdec, like having a band in a box you will notice the improvement in a week. I've had one for while, and have progressed to advanced hack . Edited November 6, 2012 by MC240
Guest JohnA Posted November 6, 2012 Posted November 6, 2012 Download some backing tracks from the net. Even the crap ones are OK for playing along. Makes practice easier and the time flies. this is why i am loving rocksmith i dont play it as a game, simply go to songs, crank them up to 100% so you learn the same thing, put it on riff repeater and play away till you learn it. Have the full backing track, lyricks everything along with it. Just like playing with the real band. Once you master a song, it lets you go to master mode, so you play along in a bar but with no visual aids to help you along anymore bloody great fun
Two Flies Posted November 7, 2012 Author Posted November 7, 2012 Got a way to go yet, methinks. 14 bids $1000 thats bargain if you take into account the Epiphone ej200 ce goes for 850 in Australia.
LogicprObe Posted November 7, 2012 Posted November 7, 2012 14 bids $1000 thats bargain if you take into account the Epiphone ej200 ce goes for 850 in Australia. Oh, for sure. I think there'll be a last minute flurry!
jimsan Posted November 7, 2012 Posted November 7, 2012 Oh, for sure. I think there'll be a last minute flurry! Yeah for sure, be interested to see what this ends up going for
LogicprObe Posted November 7, 2012 Posted November 7, 2012 My first guitar was something like this one. It was a real dog to play but turned out good to learn on! I don't know what happened to that..............but a mate of mine then sold me his SG copy............ something like this...........it was a weird shiny red.
LogicprObe Posted November 8, 2012 Posted November 8, 2012 Geeze.........you can pull some varied and great sounds up real quick on that little bugger!
Itsmoi Posted November 11, 2012 Posted November 11, 2012 Just as a follow up to my problem. Guitar is fixed, took it in for the warranty set up etc and the nut was replaced. Original nut was cut too shallow but when the luthier tried it with a deeper cut the string was too low. So he fitted a new nut, the ones used on Gibson Custom he tells me, and it's all hunky dory now So it was a Gibson QC problem I suppose. Just got to get used to the new strings now, same gauge set as what was on it, but feel very different to the original Gibson fitted.
LogicprObe Posted November 11, 2012 Posted November 11, 2012 It always feels different after a new nut is fitted.
Rob181 Posted November 11, 2012 Posted November 11, 2012 It always feels different after a new nut is fitted. It would depend on whose nut it is I suppose....Rob
