if i recorded myself playing every time i got high and played with my guitar.. i would have some really good shit, and some really dumb shit but the plan is to cut out the dumb shit, then piece the good shit together into a really good, really long masterpiece.
i have played things high that i can never play again. or they just sounded amazing because i was really high, who knows..
and the harmonics, maybe they are just better on the electric guitar or i had it tuned differently.. i got high and did some shit with the harmonics, entirely, found a pattern and played strictly harmonics for what felt like 2 hours lol. but i got an acoustic fender tuned in drop d and the harmonics are all pretty repetitive, but when i was playing strictly harmonics and making it sound awesome, i didnt know how to tune a guitar with harmonics, or how to tune a guitar correctly even with the tuner, for that matter. guitar is awesome though, if you can play a keyboard you can figure out how to play a guitar, and vice versa. although it takes a pretty expensive keyboard to reproduce what you can do with a whammy bar/bending strings. you have a greater range of tones, the spaces in between the keys on the keyboard, and harmonics.
my favorite out of every guitar that i've ever played with, was one of those stainless steel 'resonator' guitars. it had a built-in battery powered amp but it was loud enough without it, and just freakin' awesome to play with.

One of 3... I got a nice acoustic and another electric that looks like that
Aint that Floyd Rose a bitch FDD? Ever replace strings on it, or have to adjust it at all?

i can change the strings if i do them one at a time. i have to take them all off though and clean my neck. it's all gummy. i'm kinda scared to do it. i'd rather have a string-thru. i don't even really use the whammy.

I've never used the whammie on it, I just like keeping my wrist on it and play with it. And it doesn't even really go out of tune, that's what I like.
And dude the trick to the floyd rose's are when you remove all the strings you have to wind these certain screws back up, and put all the strings on and do a rough tune. As you pull on one string to tune it, it knocks the others out of tune. The easiest way to do it is coarse tune like 3 times in an up down pattern... Then start really tuning it up, and then after some adjustments your good to go for like 4 months lol

I'm busy building a clone of the old Matchless Hotbox valve based stomp box.
I intend using it as a preamp stage to a 100W solidstate amplifier that fits in the plam of my hand...until its hooked up to a heatsink.
I'm just watitng for the rain to stop so I can etch the bloody printed circuit boards. then I'll build it all into a proper amp case etc...
Anybody else like old vintage gear...? Or DIY stomp pedals? That reminds me, I need to order some chips for a delay pedal.
