For how long should you know a guitar before you sleep with it?

@LadyDuck .. Weird, right? I mean ..she wastes her entire life for that silly stubbornness? Goes to an extent of adopting so many kids and has a couple of her own...what is wrong with her...making another woman unhappy ...to that extent...can she make her children happy ..it is she from whom those kids need protection. I don't believe he hurt the kids...if he was hurting kids, he would have done it much before...before their marriage...there must have been something that the kid did too...why is it that we have to decide based on one side of the story...smh..whatever..I was trying to pull Pony's legs. lol

He is like a child, he spills the beans before beans are ready to be spilled...SMH. If Angelina Jolie had married him, she would have no problem in seeking divorce ... ill treating children indeed..of all the silly reasons after so many adoptions and natural children ..and so many years together...hmm..I bet marriage was to get some of Brad Pitt's wealth...in relationship she would not have got it, right?

@vandana7 I do not believe that Angelina married Brad Pitt to "steal" some of his money. Looking at the characteristics of this woman, I think she had something against Jennifer Aniston. It was not enough to steal her husband, she had to show that she was able to marry him.

Heh. We do.

My Collings OM-1 is ticked off and not staying in tune as well as it usually does.

@TheHorse jealously kicks in

@infatuatedbby I'll do my best to please them all, but I'm not as young as I once was.

@crazyhorseladycx .. He is a fast operator.

@TheHorse only 20 dates?? i reckon i'm jest too ol' fashioned, lol.

But we must have had about 20 dates at the Guitar Store! And I always had her back on the wall by 9 PM (closing time).

@JudyEv How do you mean "getting out of the washing up"? Oh, you mean he played when he lived at home and would use his callouses as an excuse not to wash his hands before dinner? I haven't played bass in a week or two. My right hand callouses are disappearing. My left hand ones are fine.

Well, the "action" is "high" (slightly), but (paradoxically?) the Martin is a bit harder to "play" than the Collings.

@TheHorse I know on Damian's double bass a new bridge always had to be filed this way and that to adjust the positioning of the strings. And he was always getting out of the washing up because it would soften his callouses. :)

Clearing your throat? Heh.

@Lucky15 Oh, how sweet! Precious young flower, not yet exposed to sleeping with guitars. I salute you! (smiley face emoticon with wink)

@TheHorse well, one thing is sure, i don't have a guitar

@TheHorse ..I don't know the exact word ...porridge is the one I should call for it I suppose..I mean..you could end up putting your hand on those strings and accidentally making those sounds..which would not exactly be a note...let me try explaining it ..suppose..I pull a strand of my hair near forehead (around a foot long) and hold it straight..and use my nail of index finger up and down on it..there would be some sound..what would you call it? Another one...you take a book use eraser between the book and a rubber band and try to play it...some sound comes...what do you call it.

Vanny, you needn't worry. If I'm a certified trollop, then I have plenty of love to share. Dealing with the other instruments in my house is pretty rough, though.

Um, what did you mean by "tang"? I hope @DaddyEvil and @JolietJake see that one!

Get one a and start playing it!

@TheHorse Get one, that is. I can't edit right now for some reason.

@TheHorse yes I might just do that .. ;) .. thanks ..

Wow...you dared to say it...?

@DaddyEvil ...Oh the conceit.... Poor Pony... nobody is vouching for his decency...seems like everybody knows his true characteristics..

@vandana7 Yeah, that was me calling pony a sluut! LOL! (You can tell it was me because of that picture of the really good looking dude up there with the comment! )

I do! I don't believe in bringing a guitar home if love is not involved.

Do guitars scream rape?

I prefer to think of it as "affectionate."

Ah, young love. I hope we don't start taking each other for granted.

@TheHorse That would be a shame!

We're still getting to know each other, as her neck is a bit wider than that of my Collings, but we're pretty good together.

@TheHorse that is something you will get use to over time

@Happy2BeMe I agree. I hope my Collings stops acting jealous, tough. It's still my "gigging" guitar.

It really is something special. My favorite Larrivee still has it after 14 years!

@TheHorse That's awesome

If I liked it then, I still like it now. In most cases. I haven't listened to Tears for Fears in awhile.

I will gently remove the G string (and all the others) in a few weeks.

Are you laughing with me? Or "near" me?

I am very delicate with my Martin!The only neck that might be broken belongs to someone who tries to play this thing without my permission.

Yes. Way more curvy. I'd rather sleep with Popeye's Olive Oil than Sponge Bob Square Pants.

Oh, there's plenty to drink around here.
