Busted :lol: Man I am not smart enough to ask questions. $@!& all I wanted to do was play a song all the way through and get.....I was 13 then now 37 and never have put it totally away and I ended up loving to play guitar more than well almost more than well......ya know. I play it but I don't know what how or why. It feels great to "jam". I have been playing ALONE to myself so long that well...ya know.

Why I was lurking?
1) I have an old Strat L67892 that belongs to the old mon that I am picking on right now. I put new Ernie Ball regular strings on it and right now I'm about ready to throw the....I'm am not a virtuoso but usually have no problems tuning good enough to play but this has gotten out of hand partner! Basically reading up on setting up. What I 'm getting out of it so far I give it a standardized tuning and then check each at the 12th fret. If its higher I should loosen the screw in the bottom (so iggy I don't know the parts) lower I should tighten. I have screw driver in hand but that's it no other tools. The neck maybe too straight from my view but that's me.

2) Last week I went to a music store just killing time before my lawyers appointment. I picked up a Aerodyne it was 775 bucks with tax. I liked it for no in particular reason. I didn't plug it in or anything. It felt good and it fit me or so I think. I almost put it on the ole credit card but I withstood the impulsive urges in order to do more research. I am currently at work and this computer / network / connection is too slow for you tube so that is out of the question. Besides the typical reviews I haven't found anything that says this is a Good or Bad guitar. I used to play an old standard Les Paul (uncle's who had pops strat for 20 yrs) before I got the my hands on the Strat. This kinda of felt in between Les Paul and the Strat???

Its not that big of a deal. I felt compelled to jump in because I was lurking. The reason I was in here were 1) the old guitar and 2) the new one i was thinking of purchasing. The other is nothing but my poor attempt at poking fun at myself. Think that is hard to follow? You should sit with me, myself, and I sometime. :)
