Making Music
Finally started writing new songs again. Got together
with a friend and bashed out a couple of songs,
writing partial lyrics to both. We're playing on
acoustics at the moment, as we both believe that, if
you sound good on acoustic then electrics gonna
really rock. I've been using a Martin D21 for the
most part, but my playing is pretty heavy and I don't
want to destroy the frets. So, I restrung my 70's
Takamine Elite Humming Bird, which has had & can
handle a good thrashing. Very well crafted guitar.
It's stamped 75******, with the first 2 digits
indicating the year of manufacture.
I'm also using a YAMAHA FG350, which is probably
dated around 1982. It's got a really bright sound and
is also in good shape considering it's age. On the
electric front, I'm keeping my eyes open for an early
90's Fender Jaguar or Jazzmaster at the moment.
There's a few on ebay & Yahoo, but they get too
pricey.
Have to keep on the junk-shop trail.
Cheers,
Roy.
