Guitar Acquisition Update « Music/Guitar »

I haven't received the Explorer-style Cort Effector yet. I may take right to a guitar shop and sell it on consignment, accepting the lost capital as a lesson for bidding before I do more research and eBay searching.

I'll make the final decision after taking it out of the box and playing it for 5 minutes, though. One can't be too hasty with guitars, of course.

I also won a Strat-copy guitar kit for a total of $95 (including shipping). It doesn't appear to be Saga (which has lots of quality control problems). The equipment in the picture looked to be slightly higher quality, and the big clue is that the neck has 22 frets instead of the Saga's 21. Which is good, because I hate 21-fret guitars. 22-fret guitars are barely tolerable, and I prefer 24-fret as being the most versatile, but there are too many songs you need to bend up to the high E from the 22nd fret of the top string.

Anyway, I have a good set of extra tuners if the tuners turn out as bad as the Sagas, and I have a few good single coil pickups if the pickups end up being crap. But I'm looking forward to actually assembling one from scratch, especially having to/getting to align the fretboard and adjust the bridge. I'm also considering trying to learn to do some finishing, so I'm trying to figure out what color I want to paint it. Part of that will depend on what the wood grain looks like.

It will be a few weeks before I start, but I'll update you regularly when I do.

Wish me luck!

Internet is a source of information and knowledge. But there are so many sites in net which are nothing but gibberish. But when I visit your site – I felt that – in net there are lots of sites (like this) from where I can get lot of information too. And if I say truly – your site is fantastic. I’ve bookmarked your site in my browser; I hope in future days I’ll get more valuable information from your site.

Thanks, which was good support for me. I didn'd determine what to state just before...

Pleasant car ! Most aren't aware although the '63s had been really low production and so finding a solid 1 like this one with or without factory Air conditioning is actually a miracle these days. I've a friend right here in Illinois that even now has the '63 Wildcat convertible he bought right away from large school. Pretty rare 4 speed car with very low miles. Car has usually been stored in a very temperature controlled atmosphere and he is these kinds of a stickler that he never absolutely shut the doors due to the fact her did not want to compress the weatherstrips. I read recently that he might be considering selling this triple white beauty and I wish I had the spare change about to acquire it into my garage.
