I mostly have been playing the Tobacco Sunburst Squier stat (the one with the cracked body) and my Arctic White Squier strat. On occasion I'll play my Cherry Red semi-hollowbody (its really nice when I'm playing Johnny Rivers tunes).
I have not yet fixed the crack in the Sunburst Squier ... I keep playing it. The main problem the crack seems to cause is allowing the tuning to shift more than one might expect, even with the Fender Tremolo. I need to bite the bullet -- remove the neck, fix the crack and go back at it. Before I do, I'm going to have to make sure I have sufficient clamps to hold it tightly together.
I also have not done a single thing with that disassembled strat copy I bought that had the finish sanded off the front and back. I bought the supplies to paint that Surf Green, just need to get my ass in gear and do that. Life seems to get in the way, lol.
First thing is to find the painting supplies I purchased. Wish me luck on that. Yeah, I know, I should have freaking labeled them ... they may be in the corner with the damn guitar. Perhaps I'll check that out tomorrow.
Lots of to-do's on my to-do list.
NEW GUITARS? Nope. The last guitar I bought was the sunburst Squier.
The only guitar I've decided to part with is the bass guitar I rebuilt this summer. As stated in an earlier post, I had never tried playing a full-size bass guitar before this one (my first guitar was a Fender Musicmaster bass, which was at the time an inexpensive 3/4-size bass). What I would like to do is to sell it and apply the proceeds to another guitar ... perhaps even a 3/4 size bass.
My foray back to playing bass hasn't been that satisfying ... of course, I'm not very good at it, either. But I may just keep the proceeds and apply them toward something I want more -- a Gretsch (or Gretsch clone).
That's it this time. Keep rockin'!
