Nice Ric. Will this do?

I pull my shirt out over the buckle, and move the sporran aside.

Or take them off.

I'd rather not scratch the back of my Candy Apple Setzer Hot Rod Special.

Had to google that one. That's a whole lot of guitar you have there! Lovely.

Thank you, and my best ebay purchase. Brand new, in box, in plastic, with case, for 1/3 retail. I'd been dreaming about this guitar since the first version came out. Got it last Christmas and have played it every day but two or three. That, with my Traynor wr20, is the set up I've been trying to get forever.

Nice! Is that yours or your bandmates Epi Dot Archtop in the background? I've got one just like it.

Sweet!

Thank you for the advise, gentlemen. Everything went very well.

You and threebanger have very cool basses. Throw in one of the old Silvertones, and you've covered the height of cool. (The first real band I played with had a bassman--a girl, actually--with a Silvertone bass that had a really stinging sound you can't get from a Jazzmaster. Listen to ?Gimme Shelter" by Grandfunk to hear that stingin' bass. )

Like I said before, if you play a guitar and wear a kilt . . .well, you will not want for female companionship. As for me, I'll take that Gretsch 1620, a Gibson 335, or a Les Paul anyday for electrics. (Actually, I'm too old to be that cool anymore, so I usually show up with an Alvarez Yairi and do more laid back stuff.)

Man, just put on a kilt and wail.

You'll do fine.
