I feel like such a newbie when seeing what you guys have. I thought I had a lot of guitars. I’ve been wanting to post, but I’ve been so swamped with work lately, that by the time I’m done, I have to crawl onto the couch to take a nap so that I can make it to bed!

Here’s a new addition to my set. I’ve been wanting a Double Cutaway TV yellow for the longest time. The originals (’57-’60) are going through the roof and out of range. I had heard the the batches made in the mid- 2000’s were quite good.

So I lay in wait, patiently. This one showed up at a good price and I grabbed it. It had some rust issues, but nothing major. Changed the jack-plate and a couple of screws and it was done. Easy setup and it’s sounding really nice, as it should. While I was at it, I replaced the single ply pick guard for a 5 ply. All really cheap on eBay. Now it’s just as good as the Custom Shop ones that go for a few thousand.

Thank you Jacki! I’m so sorry, I thought I had left a little thank you note, apparently it was only in my mind, sorry!

That was a lovely poem, very heartfelt, caring and warm. Thank you! ❤️

It was 25 Years Ago Today!
Papa Rudi taught the girls to play.
They’ve NEVER been out of style,
And they’re guaranteed to raise a smile!

…The Super-Dupla MonaLisa Twins

Q: What did one Twin say to the other?

A: You say it’s your birthday, It’s my birthday too, yeah!

Wishing you enjoyed a lovey day! 🙂

LOL!

True Jacki! Double the Fun!

That is awesome. And I’m sure Lisa, you’re making it seem easier than what it was. There’s always a million things that come up unexpectedly.

Whatever happened behind the scenes, the video was perfect for the song, and gave it an intangible sense of time going by which is perfect for the song.

Great question David and thank you Lisa for always answering so generously.

Welcome, Roger! Feel free to post and talk about your guitars, we love that here!

[Tomás F. Calvo]

Welcome, John. Good luck with the blog, looking forward to it!

Thanks, Jung. Can you imagine Bach letting loose on Riders of the Storm? Beethoven dueling pianos with Elton, meshing songs and sonatas, or Mozart doing Bohemian Rhapsody? That would be something, really would be something. 😉

–  “Good heavens, what’s that?” sounds like Don Adams

I think it is Maxwell Smart, such an iconic 60’s character (Created by Mel Brooks & Buck Henry). I grew up with Get Smart, though in Argentina it was called “El Super Agente 86” 🙂

Thank you guys!

Hi Paul, yes, this is a “family affair” so no call center nor teams of people taking care of issues. It may take a bit to answer.

One thing I know is that if your post has a couple of links, that may put it in the “awaiting moderation” line. The software automatically does it to avoid spam. There may be other flags for moderation in the software.

Hoping this helps,

Happy Mother’s to Michaela, and note that today is mother’s day in Austria too!

David, I remember doing that as well. We had some pencils that were hexagonal and fitted the cassettes perfectly, I’d twirl that thing around!

I think Garage Band has that functionality.
