BR> BR> The '60's reissue is better, it doesn't have that stupid V neck! I've probably said this before, but it still surprises me so much, it's worth saying again. I've got a Japanese 62 Reissue that plays a LOT better than the old 64 I had. In fact, the only gripe I have with it is the fact that the 5-way switch is wearing out already, and I've put relatively few hours on it compared to the wear and tear I put on my 64, which was 10 years old when I bought it. --- GEcho 1.00 * Origin: AEN NEWS - 334-735-0306 (1:18/175) --------------- FIDO MESSAGE AREA==> TOPIC: 175 GUITAR Ref: F5G00025 Date: 04/17/98 From: AL THOMPSON Time: 11:40am \/To: TOM SCIOSCIA (Read 0 times) Subj: Re: New Guitar In a message to Lee Waun <04-17-98 11:47> Tom Scioscia wrote: TS> BTW, to all you guys reading this.

According to the Morrish book, the Showman was blackface from August of 64.

Like we say in Ohio, A good player can make crap sound good, but a bad player sounds bad no matter what they play. It is easy to hide behind effects. Of course learning to play with others is a job in itself. I try to generate ost of my sound with the fingers. Of course everyone is looking for the magic pill. One thing that will make me sound good *8^). I just know if I had a full tack and a guitar that costs over $1000, I would have to sound good. Pete bomber@cpigeon.com ...System error ...
