ON The Subject of Guitars and Drums.....1st Texas Joe then Eloy
Since moving to Austin...this past June 2013....Texas Joe has been overwhelmed by the amazing amount of guitars and musical products for sale all over Austin! its mind blowing !
Texas Joe has aquired some very Kool guitars...and one Super Duper..... AMAZING MIND BLOWING GUITAR PEDAL.....and he has managed to fine tune his ...Old ninteen seventy six Marshall 50 watt head....with a bass mod courtesy of good buddy bill Webb....which we wiill talk about soon....but 1 st guitars.....
Joe Scored of Craigslist a very beautiful Washburn 12 string Electric Acoustic Guitar....that is about 18 years old with original case its pretty awesome....got it for just under 100 bux...90 to be exact...and it is a wonderful 12 string guitar...see below awesome !
A very close friend....turned me on to the Eric Johnson Fuzz Face in GOLD HAMMERITE STYLE.....VERY COOL...have not used it yet..but im sure going to very soon !
Also another very kool present was this Eastwood Reso-Dobro Electric...a very kool guitar....I will be using in the fiuture....never had one before should be alot of fun to play live !
its a great guitar...wonderful sound .....Washburn 12 string.....video of me playing it on You Tube.
Texas Joe also scored...thanks to Eloy Valles help.....what appears to be a 2002 Danelectro 12 string electric guitar.......in metalflake blue....at a very cheap price...in San Marcos, Texas several weeks back.....this guitar has a ghostly sound.....very differant than other 12 strings Texas Joe has...and it is deffinately going on the new album...when we start recording......before the year is over.....Texas Joe has not sussed out the string gauges yet but it is a 9 guage set...but several of the middle strings have to be reconfigured due to the ....impact on the lipstick tube pick ups of the Danelectro.....one thing is for sure..it has its own unique sound as compared to other 12 string guitars......below is Texas Joe ...holding it during ...a break at work....
the guitar had not yet had strings on it and a bad key had to be replaced....but it sounds fantastic now ..for sure....
eloy is about to do a deal on a vintage drumset also....more info soon.....on all of this..but for now take care...and we are back...to a regular blog.....
