I use Ernie Ball Slinky 10's on some of my guitars and Ernie Ball Power Slinky 11's on others ... Two weeks ago I was in an area of town where there is a super nice mom and pop music store . Craig knows the exact store I'm talking about, Beacock Music . While I was there I said to myself " Hey maybe I should pick up some new strings " I had a little bit of money on me so I walked over to the string display wall and found the Ernie Ball section . When I saw they wanted $6.99 plus tax for a set of strings I used to pay about 4 bucks for I said to myself shit what am I gonna do ? It is pointless for me to buy one pack when I need at the very least 6 packs of strings just for what I have out of the cases and that's not including the guitars I haven't played in a while . Then my wallet piped in and let me know that it had caught a severe case of Blue Balls . I grabbed my wallet , squeezed my own balls to see if I was having a nightmare Then I got the hell out of there as fast as I could .? It may be possible that some fellas around here are used to those prices ...I'm not ...I may have to look into other options for getting a better deal on strings . Kenny

+1 Most if not all of my guitar playing career had more than one constant .I was broke and having new strings was always a treat . I often use lighter fluid to clean my strings, I Hate to admit this but it is true ...I have guitars over here that would have birthday candles on a cake if I celebrated how old the strings are on some of them . My one and only Bass has a set of flat-wounds I put on it back in 2001 . In some States these strings could walk into a Bar on a Friday Night and legally order a drink ? Kenny

I played 2 Benedetto's Arch Tops a guitarist / guitar collector friend of mine owned one night . He asked me what I thought of the guitars and I told him I was pretty impressed with the quality of the woods and the build . I asked him how much they cost and he told me they cost North of 25 Grand apiece . Now don't get me wrong I'm sure they were worth every penny and all . The thing is I have yet to have had that type of money to spend on any guitar ever . After the thrill of playing them wore off I went back to playing The Gibson Factory Second L 5 I had been playing ( also one of his guitars ) . Truthfully speaking I could be very happy with a Gibson L 5 ? Yes I feel the same way about the tone the concrete body Strat had . When I was younger I saw Led Zeppelin a number of times (over the course of a few years ). While at those concerts, I can say with total certainty ..Jimmy Page "still sounded fantastic" when he switched over from his Les Paul to playing his Danelectro ..... For those with an interest ....the bodies of Danelectro and some Silvertone guitars are constructed of Masonite https://luthierylabs.com/laboratory/materials-hardware/woods-etc/masonite/ Kenny

This is a build from scratch video where the builder builds a guitar body made out of concrete . You can hear how the concrete guitar sounds during the intro and the last couple of mins of the video . Kenny

Do you think the brand of strings you use has more Mojo and better sounds than all the other brands of strings and string configurations that are currently out there on the market ? Think again.... let us know what you think after you see what this guitarists simple tests results prove . Kenny

I guess for some peoples "one is too many and a thousand is never enough " Kenny

Wow Dave ! you have a really nice looking place . Sweet ! Have you thought about the possibility of having something like one of those Zoom handheld recorders that have stereo mics placed on a mic stand in your room . I have an older one ...the video end just crapped out recently yet the audio recording still works perfectly ... I have gotten some really wonderful acoustic recordings using that thing . It's easy peasy to transfer over your work into a DAW VIA USB .... After you tune your Piano you can enjoy playing in your living space with out the added burden of having to be sit there dicking around chained to a computer . all the best, Kenny

rule two if you gonna step up to the plate , deal with the pitch . Kenny

You said the exact same words we all are thinking but not saying ! Now ! Go wash your mouth out with soap ! Don't forget to clean behind your ears , This thread is all about working around the issues of hearing loss . Kenny

I'm guessing you haven't dated an Amazon recently When she talks you listen . Then you say "Yes Dear "? That's exactly how we got my hearing back on track . Kenny

I'm only going to say this once! "Get off my Lawn" Kenny

Gee this thread seems to show a bunch of tit's in all shapes and sizes I will never see in real life nor get to touch . It's time to chime in over here with a shameless plug featuring some of my guitar playing over this weeks Twanger Central Track. Kenny

I tawt I saw some Great tit's sitting on a branch during the winter in France . Kenny

Has anyone seen my knee pads ? Yes I have . I 'm using them right now and I will be done using them in about an hour . Baaaadddd Kenny for posting that OH ! Baaadd Kenny

That was Super Funny Steve ! You made my knight with that one ! ? Kenny

This one goes out to all the folks that get G.A.S. for software plugs and instruments . Kenny

OK you got me .... I couldn't sell any of what gear I do have . Your right ...no takers ...Guess I'm Busted once again for telling fibs ?... Alright , I might as well come clean .Since I had no money to put in the card I used a sheet of yellow note paper that I carefully trimmed the binding hole ends and wrote her a truthful short note professing my desire to take her out picnicking on a starlit evening as our first date . I told her that we could have peanut butter and jelly sandwiches as appetizers and the main course of our starlit night picnic would be Ramen Beef flavored noodles with some added Walmart spicy beef jerky . Yeah , I know I really put myself out there by reaching out to her so boldly and by being all vulnerable since I do not know her personally ... I was holding out hope for a couple of days , that is until I took my dog Milo out earlier ..After checking my mail I saw that my Valentines Day card was returned back to me unopened by the post office . Oh well there's always next year . Kenny

Good Point Notes ♫ , it does seem to be "the pursuit " G.A.S. uses to hook people in . Every day I look at the pedals I have sitting on my fireplace . Most of them have only lasted two weeks of playing time before I haven't touched them in months . As far as the guitarist in the video goes , the u tube video thumbnail shows his new guitar at home with many of the super nice guitars he held on to . +1000 on The Fender Rosewood George Harrison Tele ...I have always wanted one of those Tele's . Wow ! 14 for 3 huh ? I have done some whack y stuff too. not with those type of numbers .... In 1976 I traded my 1960 Cherry Red Gibson ES 335 dot marker w PAF's straight up for a Custom made Vulcan Guitar. You know about Bucks Vulcan but not very many people know the guitar or Vulcan brand . Currently the going rate for my Old 335 is between 29 to almost just a little south of a hundred G 's ... Speaking about the tattoo in your pic .. What Happened ! The Tattoo's Shops in house spell checker decided to take an early lunch break on the day you finally show up to get your ink done ? Kenny

OK , I decided to ditch grandma. . I'm happy I did that. This girl seemed pretty happy to get my Valentines day card . Kenny PS . I don't have too much longer to live so I sold off all my guitars and put my whole life savings in the Valentines Day card envelope .
