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.
