Back in the day as us gizzers would say, I had a 1965 Gibson 335 with a bigsby.I loved the guitar but with rock & roll and the close space on most stages then I fought feedback most of the time. One guy I know had a 335 also and had the idea of filling it with a new product on the market at that time called Great-Stuff, well unknowing to him once that stuff comes out of the can it expands almost 2 to 3 time the volume. It left his 335 in many pieces on the floor. :(


Youch. Ted Nugent used to fill his Gibson Byrdland with styrofoam 'packing peanuts' to stop the feedback.

lol oh hell no lol.
i had a customer last yr that filled his FJ cruiser's inner panels with some stuff like that. it was slow expanding. said he wanted some extra sound deadener so his stereo would sound better. blew all of his interior pannels out of place. we laughed so hard when we saw it he got back in his FJ and was gone. he came to use because his seatbelt light was on.

Your welcome
The best way to thank any Vet for anybody that cares is to make sure the people in Washington stand behind the Vet and meet their needs now that they are home.The way of doing that is phone calls and letters.
Sorry got heavy again !
:shock:

the truth is always heavy KC.
i extended a thank you to a kid several months ago
for serving across seas these last few yrs. he said thank you
but i really didnt do anything.
i told him "ok maybe not but you went and the man/woman next to you
felt a lot better knowing you were right there beside him so he/she didnt go through it alone". by the look i got im not sure if he got it or it was that he never thought of it that way.
folks please remember the average soldiers age in nam was 19.
what were you doing at 19? i know what i was doing.

It's the "Iron Triangle" region of Vietnam, Republic Of in the late spring of 1970. About 35 kilometers from the Cambodian frontier. I'm on the left, with my boot on the open ammo access panel, but it's not my ship. I never flew "Snakes" -- only Loaches and Hueys.

I could never be that stoopid again!

:mrgreen:

It takes some time after you come back to feel the ground under your feet and to get over the fact that there isn’t someone around the corner that is going to blast your azz all to hell and back.
That took me about two years after I got back not to jump like a kangaroo on the forth of July and I was in the Navy, but we were the first Gunship (U.S.S Canberra CAG-2/CA-70) in the TONKIN GULF well its in the books if you want to ever read about her. Joined four days after I tuned 17 in 1965.Like the song says “In 69 I was 21”
With all my ribbons and a buck fifty I can by a cup at star bucks.
Back then the navy told me I had an attitude and today they call it P.T.S.D.
L.M.A.O.
