Well - I worked from home today. Pretty quiet day. Which I needed. Tuesday was a frustrating day. My work day is done, I'm enjoying a fruit bar, the company of my three dogs, and watching season one of "The Andy Griffith Show". High tension, Barney is threatening to quit. He needs to get laid big time. Andy is working on that.

Hi Yavin, thanks for the input. I need it. We are trying to strike a deal on parts for Teles. We announced we were getting them, and then we switched vendors, so... damn, but we will have them. I think the price point will be close to 299. That side is more my brother (business partner), and what the books say we can do and stay afloat. Color suggestions always welcome... So far the most popular color choices are apple green metallic, vintage white, black, daphne blue...etc.

Ooohh, LOVE the green metallic/limed gold color Ken! :thu: I used to have a Gretsch Brian Setzer Hot Rod in that color!

Damon - nice story telling songs you wrote! Also, your Peavey sounds, and looks like a winner to me! :thu:

It was a nice guitar! But, I found the TV Jones TV Classics to be a bit too low output for my taste (filtertron-type pickups are typically very underwound for a humbucker [the ones in my Brian Setzer Hot Rod were only 4.5 kilo-ohms DC resistance, with average strength magnets]). Normally I would have just replaced the pickups, but like a Charvel Surfcaster I had back in the early 90s, that had Chandler lipsticks in it, it just seemed to be too nice of a guitar, to be modding, even if the mod was only a pickup swap. If you wish to see it, there's book that came out a few months ago, about the 6120 model Series Gretsches. The author needed a photo of a limed gold G6120LTV Brian Setzer Hot Rod, and at his request, I took a photo of mine for him to use in his book. The book is called:

The History of the Legendary Gretsch 6120: Evolution of a Species

It's by Edward Ball (who like me is a member of the Gretsch Discussion Pages), and is available from Amazon.com

Here's what a limed gold Brian Setzer Hot Rod looks like:

Thanks - when I posted it over at HC it seemed like most people "Got it".

I'm listening to you song about the Hotel. That one is pleasant- has a simple quality too. You should think about getting a simple recording setup so you can over-dube, and mix.

Zemmy,

I just listened to "The "New and Old Guy Share Your Music Songfest". In the youtube there I assume you are the dude with the White Les Paul? Overall I thoght it was pretty good. The singer was good, (and you of course).

I've got a lot of listening to catch up on in that thread.

UPDATE: I saw your note - you wrote the song, but another band performed it. Should have read the whole thread I guess.

Hi Silver,

Yes - I read that this morning I think. I am using the "new Posts" option to stay on top of what is hot.

SOT - But I stopped over at HC 1.0 - I see PunkKitty gave a good bye to HC. (She is MHN433 over there - or was I should say.)
