How to spend a weekend (my way)
« on: August 29, 2009, 06:21:13 am »
It all started out with Joshua (my grandson) taking his nap, which allowed me to work on my 1968 Horugel double cutaway hollowbody electric I purchased in "distressed" condition...

First, I looked through my box of tuners and found a nice set of '60's era tuners that I had cleaned up way back when, to replace the ones on the guitar..as you cans see, one knob missing, and the upper E and G tuners were also slipping.

There was a lot of fret buzz at the upper end, so, after unstringing the guitar, I reset the neck and replaced the tuners.

My chops were not as fast...[but] I just leaned more on what was in my mind than what was in my chops.  I learned a long time ago that one note can go a long way if it's the right one, and it will probably whip the guy with twenty notes.

After all that, I restrung the guitar, and set the intonation, this amongst having the three local grandkids over (probably grandma's idea of how to help)...

After all of that, my biggest helper (Aaron) decided to cash it in for the day..

Sunday, I loaned my guitar to Zach for church service, who has now left for the University of Nebraska, Lincoln, so he'd actually have a nice guitar to play.  The guitar did not go with him, it stays in my herd  ;D .
