Tuned the double neck today and letting it sit prior to testing. finished detailing the telecaster thinline build and tested it and so far really good, very pleased. Dark, cold, rainy here in New Mexico so kind of oppressed feeling the past few days but----trying.

I checked the dbl neck pickups, adjusted their height made sure they still functioned and restrung the 6 and 12 sides it wore me out restringing this monster So i am letting it sit for a day or so before tuning. I now have massive respect for Jimmy Page's guitar tech for sure🙄

I wanted a 6/12 dbl neck when i was in bands I was always the utility player but could never afford one which is why I am so focused on making this cheap build work so I replaced the 12 bridge p/u smoothed the fret edges as best I can now ready for re-stringing to try it again

Set up/tested the Batwing headless travel guitar I LIKE IT! The action is excellent, the pickup powerful the fit and finish is excellent for a 200 dollar guitar The playing position will take getting used to and I will have to find amp tone settings for it very pleased 😃😃😃

instrumental---the last p/u test If I remember correctly this is a bit of an exercise by Francisco Tárrega. I pulled it up from memory and it is just a bit of this piece. please forgive the couple of stumbles I haven't played it in a long long time. 🙏✌️

Testing the new sound hole pickup Leader of the Band from memory so forgive me when playing this song I always think of my father he wasn't musical but one day, when I was 14 out of the blue he took me to buy my first decent guitar and amp. I owe him ✌️

I managed to install the new p/u in the Ibanez, I was all thumbs for some reason? Plugged it in and truly I am not that happy with the sound-- could be my mood today but-- I'll wait a couple of days and play it again and see?

Guitar today Trying to go to sleep at night I make myself think about music it keeps me from rehashing unhappy memories Last night it was this song I was maybe 17 hired to play 12 string, backing a vocal quartet at a talent show where they sang Another You by The Seekers

After storms and medical appointments perhaps some guitar time today? I am hoping to replace a very old sound hole pickup in one of my favorite acoustics with this new Donner pickup today and test it. 😃✌️

A bit of The Lights of Cheyenne by James McMurtry McMurtry has always been my favorite most honest, singer-songwriters. I recorded this a while ago but never posted it I've been overloaded giving lessons and home tasks but I still wanted to post some music 😃✌️
