Groovy New Guitar Day!
I've been wanting one of these for a wall decoration in the guitar room of my Long Island house. This one came up locally and I made an offer that they accepted, so I got a good deal.
Although it's a couple of years old, it still had the original strings an like a lot of guitars bought over the past few years, it hadn't been played much. Even though it's just for a decoration, I want it to be playable so I did a setup and put on new strings. The neck relief was just right, the saddle needed 2/64 taken off, and the nut slots were way high. I left the braided UST in place. Funny thing, even with the new strings, it sounds like a guitar that needs new strings! I'm not going to play it much, but right now every time I pick it, it makes me smile! |

I'm inspired; yesterday I started learning the CSNY version of ''Woodstock''!

Here's my favorite version of that song. I think these girls are fantastic, and this is such a gorgeous arrangement of that song:

Congrats! Being all HPL, it definitely has a more muted tone. While I generally prefer PB strings on my guitars, I found I like 80/20 on my Woodstock.

I will try 80/20's on it whenever I change the strings. I put D'Addario EXP's on it and I do think they are a little dull but they will last a long time.
I got the guitar up here in the Woodstock area and I'll be taking it down to Long Island tomorrow. I'll post a pic of it hanging in it's new home tomorrow or the next day. Thanks everyone, for your support of my ''groovy guitar''! |
