Not at all like a 55 gallon drum full of snare drums and slinkys rolling down a cobblestone road! |

bill, what model national would be a good gig guitar? kind of the equivalent of an old balladeer. good and rugged and made to haul around without too much worry.
once i beat my way out of this financial sand trap ( i am usinc a pool cue instead of a wedge) that is something on my wish list.
i bought a meisel spitfire violin with a humbucker. synthetic body. kind of fun, but no frets is new ballgame for me, and the neck thing when you pinch the dam thing between your chin and shoulder bone will probably lead to a new undiscovered area for chiropractic help. i can see why some fiddlers play off their belly. |

Location: 6 String Ranch | Russ, I would think one of the new style O (Brass body, plated)or one of the Delphi models (steel body painted). Get it with the Highlander. I see them on the bay for 1200-1500. |
