Man! Lots going on...

So I got a new electric guitar...well, new to me anyway. It is a 1984 Yamaha SC300T. Really cool guitar that I always had my eye on in the 80's. Found it on Ebay and couldn't resist...got a great price on it and it required very little freshening...just took it apart, cleaned it, restrung it, and started playing it. I am blessed with great friends too...the guitarist in my band, Brandon Montgomery had been using my old Peavey Bandit 65 (more vintage 80's gear). It had developed some bad habits but through some electronic magic from Marc Guiett at Linworth Baptist, it screams as good as new now. Plus Brandon, built a distortion pedal for me...yes, built one. My Fishman Loudbox amp that I use to play out, was designed for acoustic playing so it does not have overdrive built in, but with this pedal I won't have to haul two amps...very cool...so stay tuned for some new live music this fall...no doubt with the new electric.
