It's what they use to play Isaan music. The street bands in Thailand are pretty amazing. The fret spacing is odd, but think of it as an instrument where every note played on it is in a single scale. Pretty cool, no? My favorite street band video of all time, no lie, it's that amazing. btw, I've never seen an acoustic one, how the hell did some old lady get it? They only come out of Thailand.

Killer, I'll probably throw a pickup on mine eventually. The old lady literally lived in a perpetual garage sale up in a mountain community. She had no idea where it came from or the story behind it, somebody gave it to her to sell. I hope it's authentic, but there's no way to know. It's clearly hand built. No logos, sharp frets, wood glue everywhere.

I have a Jasmine S-35. I do plan on saving for an electric guitar (probably SG or Telecaster), but those are expensive and then you need an amp and if I want to vary the sound I'll need an effect pedal. GAH It's all so much!

A good bet would be to buy something like a fender mustang I, the 20 watt 8 inch version. Comes with pretty good effects built in, can be found used for 60-80 bucks or 110 new. You could then find a used MIM strat or tele which are good value. Here in Canada new gear has had a huge price increase. Like MIM strats are almost 700 bucks but the used market is still cheap. Used can be a great way to get gear. I recently traded a guitar I payed 400 for for a left handed SG standard.

i would love to get an Ibanez Iceman.

been wanting one for years.

Oh my!

I finally scored a new guitar, I've been in need of one with a trem and have wanted one of these DK2M's for some time now, found one in good shape and for a decent price and couldn't be happier with it.

****. Just bought a new guitar on Amazon since they gave me a free credit card with 9K worth of credit. Linda is going to ****ing kill me.

Have owned one of these a long time ago and they are amazing. Music Man makes great guitars.

I gotta sell something to pay for this. Listings pending.

What happened to the old electrics can't get me off no more business?

Listening to Liquid Tension Experiment the past couple of days made me want a shred machine.

I'm hoping it kicks me in the ass playing wise.

I've got two acoustic guitars. One is a Takamine and the other is my Dean.

I love my acoustic guitar.

Here's my mini rig:

Exceptional tone and quality sound from this, and it all packs up into 3 pieces using my back pack.

Finally got a new cabo for my guitar. Yay :tramp:

You mean "Capo", right?

Tell me more about that TRIO pedal.

Yeah.. I'm just a bit tired. Thanks (:

It's really random on the bass lines, and the quality of the sound of the drums is fairly generic, but it's fun for personal use. I'd never use it in a concert situation, but having it around for added accompaniment in a small setting is nice. It keeps things fresh. Instead of using the same backing tracks all the time, I can dial in whatever I feel like playing on the spot, it just takes a little bit of tweaking to get there. I hear the next generation of it will have more genre's, better drums, and a looper, so you might want to wait if you plan on purchasing one.

Music and playing guitar helps me so much.
I couldnt live without it.

Me want!!!

^ me too

Finally got this all up and running. Took a bit of setup on the MMJP because it comes stock with 10s and I prefer 9s. So being a floating trem and all....... you know how it goes. Tweak, tweak, repeat.

The Yamaha THR5 is the cats meow. After an hour of going through all it can do I'm sold. I'm finally going to be able to feel like I'm playing a dimed tube amp while Linny is asleep in the other room.

Yamaha has always been at the forefront of modeling tech. Their DG series set the stage - Holdsworth relied on it for many years. With the THR stuff they've finally nailed it.

^Those amps are amazing.
Our bass player has one from that series (a slightly bigger one though) and I was totally blown away by the power and clarity of that little thingy.

^ wow, this is amazing :cool:

You're in a band?

"Band" sounds so serious.:laughing:
We don't even have a proper name.
I play with two friends. We've been trying to be slightly more professional about it lately, but still mostly end up screwing around. I'm a pretty terrible musician and have no ambitions in this field except having some fun 1-2 times a week.

Hey, that's how they all start out.

Hey, as long you're having fun and enjoy it (:

The Birdseye maple neck of the MMJP.

Harps!!!!
 

Does anyone here play the harp????? If so what harp do you have and what inspired you to play the harp

100% blown away by this thing. So much fun and so easy!

Thanks for the heads up P-man.

Happy to oblige. Are the bass lines still really random with the newer 'Plus' model? That was my main gripe with the first one.

I didn't get the + model.

Recently acquired an absolute stunner.
Behold, the Gibson SG Original II.

Basically a '61 Reissue with a vibrola tremolo added. '57 classic humbuckers (sooooo good, snarl and clarity in spades) and a thin but wide neck (12'' radius). Possibly the most beautiful instrument I've ever played, but holy **** is it ever hard to keep in tune. It may just need a setup as it is a very young instrument, the previous owner had only purchased it fresh off the shelf about a month prior (selling it because he changed his mind and wanted an acoustic instead). I threw a new set of .11s on last week and have been playing hard for at least an hour or two a day and it still hasn't smartened up, barely makes it through a song without a string or two drifting a half step out. I'm hoping it's not just the nature of these classic Gibson tremolos, because I absolutely love them and wouldn't be able to bring myself to swapping it out. On the bright side the pickups sound incredible and it plays very very well. Being a Tele guy most days I was worried about the 12'' radius but it hasn't been very difficult to get the hang of.

Now if only the damn thing would stay in tune, I have a gig on Friday and I was really looking forward to bringing it on stage for the first time but if I can't get it to last at least a song by the end of the week I'm gonna have to leave it on the sidelines until I figure out what the deal is.

If that's a Lyre vibrola, I've read they're hard to keep in tune. That sucks. Maybe give these guys a shout:

Everything SG

It is a Lyre vibrola, I read a lot on Everything SG prior to buying the guitar. Most people said they just need be worn in and that the actual design issues were worked out by the second production run (which my guitar is from). I'm probably just going to beat on it for another week or two before I start considering swapping parts or taking it into a shop.

I see... I'll just be over here if you need me to remind you of things you've already tried.

:p:
