What Guitar Are You Playing At This Very Moment...

This Breedlove Nylon.

Tweaked the truss rod, then found output jack nut and washer on my bed.
So had to slack the strings and go elbow deep.
Got it sorted out.

It started life as a great story.

I bought it in Amsterdam years ago during one of my trips to the North Sea Jazz Festival.

I'm also a fan of minimalist electronic dance music and used to hang out at a small club named twstD. One day there was a substitute lady tending bar and she happened to mention that she was a singer (as well as a model and actress). I told her I'd brought my guitar and asked her if she wanted to come over to my hotel and play together. She readily accepted and we agreed on a date.

The thing is, I'd brought my guitar, a Les Paul Custom 400, but had no amp. I wasn't going to pass this up so the next day I went to Dirk Witte, the Guitar Center of the Netherlands, and looked around for something small and reasonably priced. My eyes fell on the battery powered Micro Cube and as it turned out it ended up being one of the most trouble free and multi-functional pieces of gear I've ever owned.

We ended up doing a recording of Buddy Guy's "Midnight Train" and she killed it! I've loved that song since I saw Buddy and Johnny Lang play it on the Tonight Show.

Been playing the acoustic pretty much everyday at mo while I'm working on new material. We've got about 10 songs in various stages of completion and are hoping to record some acoustic demos in a few weeks. Then we'll start arranging full band recordings.

Man, when did you get an Acoustic? I miss out on so much here. Last I knew you were taking recommendations
and looking to purchase. :idk

I want your V but I'm not cool enough to play one.

That's funny. I used to not care. Like, "Fuck you all. Yes, this is ridiculous!" :hmm

The other guitarist I play with has a young daughter. She told me I looked "Silly."
Now, when you are 7 or 8 years old "Silly" can also be a good thing. I don't think
she meant it as a good thing.

Then I start seeing more of those faded and grey-bearded old guys with pointy guitars
and bedazzled jeans on stages (ok, mostly Youtube stages! :lol ), with chains hanging
from the backpockets, and I am all, "For the love of God, please don't let me become
THAT guy!"

A vice whispers in my head, "Sorry. You already are that guy!"

Hence, the reset and shift to Taylors, Teles, and Porches. Can still be cool, and also
come off as a more age appropriate senior citizen.

:rollsafe



:rofl

We'll see if it actually sticks or not. Probably just another post-mid-life crisis!!
:LOL:

I've had two of them since then tbh. :sofa only one of them is looking like a keeper. I've been meaning to update my acoustic thread and you've just shamed me into doing it. :grin

I've got a new set of pickups to fit in my strat tonight and then I'll update my acoustic journey.

Spoiler it has a very happy ending which you've obviously already seen.
