Just kidding.

I did have some questions about roadworn guitars, maple vs. rosewood fretboards and why anyone who plays less than .013 guage strings is a wimp though ...

(I'm sorry, I'm bored )

Kong, everybody knows that Roadworn guitars are cool especially if you roadwear them yourself over the years , and that maple fretboards have a bit brighter sound than rosewood fretboards, and that .013 gauge is for players like me that have big hands ( when i use .008, .009 or .010 and I bend a string it goes up over the top of the fretboard ) , I think so, so, therefore perhaps it is so, no (a little bored too )

I see a few people are on a roll today. In response to your Questions:

Fender Decals--contact Fender Customer Service

Rosewood and maple both have an appeal to me, one is not better than another, however, I do have 2 rosewood necks and only 1 maple.

13's on anything other than an acoustic is just asking for some serious calluses. String guage is a personal choice and everybody has their own opinions and I respect that. I like 10's (almost to 13's on my electric).




On a serious note:

I am looking into a new guitar. Which Fender model is the best for a amateur who likes the best but does not need the best? (INCOMING!!!!!!)

I think that from all I see and here from the folks on this forum that most of us could get buy with less than we have. I know I dont nead the best, but I sure like it. After all that is the way in a free country. arent we luckey?

Danny, in our defense of liking good gear, the products sold by Fender, Gibson, Martin, Gretsch, Ibanez, Rickenbacker and Taylor is pretty much mid-line.

There are a gob of new instruments out there way more expensive than the "mass production, part number in catalogue," companies.

Whats a bot ?

depends on your style and your price range. I really REALLY love my Jaguar Special HH (MIJ). really like it but there are lots of great fender models to choose from.

+1000

Personally, I like the old junkers.

Especially the amps......

Hi Arjay: now that's my idea of multi-amping!

Hmm. Ten amps, all with their jewel lights glowing - and not a cable in sight. It's so handy to have enough wall sockets all in one place, isn't it? The electricians who wire houses are seldom guitarist-friendly, are they?
