play that guitar!

still playing the acoustic a lot. it's so portable, light, and easy. no plug in required. i sometimes bring the laptop to the kitchen so I can sit and play the acoustic with a blues backing track on youtube. of course when I play the epi dot it's immediately apparent that it's a significantly better sounding guitar. gain on zero and lots of reverb is the trick; plus the amp is modeling a fender tweed. and use the neck pickup only with tones on 5-7 on guitar and amp.

it's spring break week so i hope to get lots of practice.

when will i get a 339? summer time, maybe. no real rush. i like my epi dot.

i've been making more videos, too. check 'em out!

another thing i like to do is to use the amp's loop station to play a 12 bar blues while i play the acoustic. good times!

the yamaha is upstairs. two guitars at a time is about all I want, or have room for in my room.

if i did get a fender someday..... i like the idea of a thinline telecaster. semi-semi-hollowbody. i wanna play one at a music store again; it's been a while. it's possible i could end up with the thinline before the 339, or even instead of it. depends on another sound check to see it it's good enough unplugged. i got the fender case already. and i'm not afraid to use maple neck.

the line of telecasters has more variety than the strat line. more variations in pickups than strats.

i can handle both scale lengths, too.
