Trying to be original

[Kazz]

But, I see there are several fellow Washburn Forae Folk over here.

Muddy suggested I check this place out and after looking at a few videos and the layout figured I would register. From what I have read so far this place has a much more comfortable feel to me.

I was forced into classical lessons at 7 suffered through about a year of that crap....This would have been about 1975 I was really in to Kiss and Ace Frehley by that time and I wanted to rock not try to be Beethoven.

My aunt who bought me my first guitar and the lessons did not want to invest in the future of the next Rock God....so they yanked me out of classes and tried to beat the devil out of me LMAO....didn't work.

About 3 years ago now I guess I decided I wanted to try guitar again and went to Musicians Friend and bought the El Cheapo Rogue starter guitar for $29.00 bucks and a Dean Evo XM electric.....then went into a pawn shop and bought a Peavey Bandit 112 for $150....had more in the amp than I did both guitars....

I didnt want to invest alot of money in case I did not stick with it....6 months later I bought my first Washburn D10S and Gas promptly set in, I bought a D10QSB, D10SCE, a Greg Bennett Avion (Les Paul copy) a Strat copy, a Tele copy, and then I have this years long lust affair for the Washburn J28SDL that I still have not broken down and bought.....

Currently I have the Avion, and Tele copy and the Parkwood PW340FM the Tele and Parwood are possibly sold so I can finance my next round of gas....and I am working towards saving for a Gibson Les Paul Solid Mahogany.

I have been around forums for roughly 10 years or so now I guess started out with Virtual Dr tech support forums and have made the rounds to many different tech support, music and guitar forums.

Always trying to learn something new....and still trying to learn to play guitar...but at 39....I am guessing I will be trying to learn this thing up until the day they bury me with it.

Dude, I told you to get over here two months ago, you need to read your e-mail or forward me your new address if you changed it. It's good to see you over here, you are going to enjoy it. Edit: : to Mudcat for getting a hold of you.

Amazing where those little purchases can lead you

...and then I have this years long lust affair for the Washburn J28SDL that I still have not broken down and bought....

And she's still sitting here waiting for you

Parkwood PW340FM the Tele and Parwood are possibly sold ...so I can finance my next round of gas....

Say what???


Enjoy and drop me a line when you get a chance.

Hey Kazz, good to see ya'. Welcome aboard . . . oh, and run like hell if Warren offers to make you some pancakes.

[Kazz]

I have seen a few references already to the notorious cakes.....I am going to have to use that search function to see what the noise is....

Strum....I guess I did not get that email or may have been in one of those moods and over looked it or deleted it....who knows....all I know is I was not seeing you and Rocket around the other place and darnit if I didn't miss you BOTH lmao.....(next time I have to work on my aim ha ha)

I see that you are taken back by comment about possibly selling the Parkwood....its not because I don't like it.....it is still an amazingly beautiful guitar and great tone....but as Rocket said.....my hands are like truck drivers.....and the older I get the less they like to move....so I am looking for something with a 1.9" or whatever that works out to be in millimeters nutwidth so my big fingers can cleanly fret a first position C chord.

I also really want a real Gibson Les Paul....and being married with children X2 means I cannot justify spending that kind of money and having a Dreadman sied herd of guitars......but oh boy would I like to be able to justify it LMAO.
so occasionally I have to sell some.....


Speaking of....I never ever thought I would like the ES 335 type guitars...until I played an EPI dot (actually 2 of them) last weekend at the evil corporate Guitar Center......I am soooo in love with that tone.

the email address is still the same...altho I am finding it not very convenient this time of year when I am ordering Christmas presents online and trying to keep confirmation and shipping emails from the Mrs.....so she does not find out what she is getting.

[Childbride]

KAZZ!!!

good to see ya, buddy!

you'll really like it here! nice place! :

[Kazz]

Kimmie...can we sit around and talk about Kiss and the good ole days :-)

Thanks all for the warmest of welcomes....Mrs. Kazz is making me go Christmas shopping....so I guess I am out for now.....time to go raise the blood pressure several points.....hmmm I been good maybe I can drive us to Guitar Center for a jam session LMAO

There are benefits to driving.

Yeah, but Rocket stopped in for only a brief moment & hasn't been heard from since.

I asked him if he could animate his skull avatar with blinking red eyes...he's probably cowering in shame trying to figure out how to do it .

Welcome Kazz!

How many 'burnies does that make over here? 10? 12?

Thanks, but I guess I shouldn't speak for the others. So I don't know how many are here, but it's at least one less than what you guys might think.
