A built in tuner would also be useful!

That is something else...how do you pick the 6 string over the soundhole?
Thanks for sharing that with us :D

Tommy
If they're the ones that built my Epiphone Riviera, they build some damned nice guitars for not very much money. I didn't care for most of the Epiphone acoustics I've played but my Riv is a great guitar. I have two friends that bought Epiphones after they played mine. One got a dot 335 style (like mine) & the other is a Las Paul copy. Both are as nice to play as mine. The wood isn't as fancy as a Gibson but the fit & finish is very good, especially for the price.

I have one..(galveston). it is a resonator......sounds and plays pretty good...for what I gave for it. It is plywoodish...so don't have to worry about weather.....neck is not to bad....and the cone doesn't rattle or anything.
about $350......
I forgot I had the damn thing until you asked the question......been all caught-up playing my LX . |

Which LX do you have. I have a Legend. I love it. And, the neck is fine by me, no problem with the roundness.

got the 6778 LX Standard Elite. Kim fixed it great. The action was to high for me....now it's a peach to play...no effort....no buzzing anywhere on the staff.....intonation is excellent. I really like it. |

"The risk is small when compared to other daily activities". That is what our training tells us. I've worked in and around em for 25 years. One of the risks they never told us about - me and my buddy coworkers from the early days all had daughters - only daughters - lots of em.
Survival of the fittest!
I'd have to play with the 7 string. I kind of like it myself. |

Have ever seen the fish that came out of the water next to Mr. Burns' Nuclear Power Plant? It had three eyes (don't know about any daughters) I figuered that third neck came from the same pond. |

Location: Las Cruces, NM | I spent 20 years working in the nucleur industry at General Atomics at Torrey Pines CA, with everything from fully enriched bomb grade uranium to rare isotopes that cost $6000 a gram they were so unusual. I never saw anything that looked like that pretty normal looking 3 neck guitar.
I am rather attracted to that 3 neck critter as it looks like it would give my third regular arm and my fourth arm that just started growing last month something to do while I'm playing. Does anybody have any good chords for the seven fingered hand, by the way?
Bailey :eek: :eek:
I used to drive through Front Royal, VA on my way from Ft Eustis to Ohio in the early 50's in my '49 ford with country and early rock playing on the AM at great volume to keep me awake on the 11 hour drive. |

He he he!
Try an H chord (If you can use all 7 fingers add 11th)
I don't think Front Royal has changed much since the 50's...Everyone is still here(...and they all listen to loud music to stay awake) |

I told you Eubie and I played back in the Newclear era. Eubie, we all said, had music coming out of his ass, when really it was a resophonic banjo that he played with the two arms that came out of his ass. Boy, things were different then. Eubie turned his resophonic banjo into one of the most efficient riding mowers in Conneaut and went on to found the landscaping giant, "We Banjo Your Homestead", helped greatly by sales to the Inutiak rebel eskimos of Newklear technology that probably is a much bigger threat than Iran. The Eskimos are planning to sweep down from the North and capture every source of energy in the lower 40.
But I digress, Eubie had the first FOUR neck banjo, 5 string, 6 string guitar tuning, 4 string tenor, AND, would you believe, 12 string banjo, a definite first, and last. (Thank God)
