cool thing - bob and muddy
- guitars and vettes are made for each other!
i play several fenders (two teles one strat) - favoring a 52ri tele - but also
use two hallow gretsches, two gibson lps (that i never play) and several other
odd and off brands.
my amps are old silverface fender pro reverbs (3 of them), a old
50w jcm800 marshall head with a really ancient marshall speaker cab.
but i also often use a little 18w blues junior. i'm not really fanatic
behind guitars and gear - but over time collected a few goodies
that clearly now are turning into collectibles. some of them where
basket cases that i brought back alive with TLC.
just like a corvette - so guitars and vettes *are* a lot alike.
you guys are GOOD COMPANY.

G'day from Down Under
Welcome Andy,
G'day from Down Under, and you reckon YOU are from the deep south! LOL I'd have to say that I'm a bit closer to Antarctica than you are, but welcome to the Forum. I've learned so much from the Forum, I don't know how I would have kept my sanity sometimes without it.
While there are quite a few Corvettes in Australia, the total number would only be in the low thousands, covering all generations and in a country BIGGER than the 48 contiguous United States of America, so they are pretty thin on the ground here.
But when I log on to the Forum, it's like every Corvette owner is just next door and ready to help.
My 17 year old son has an Ibanez and a small no-name amp and is right in to Jimmy Hendrix, Led Zepplin, the Ramones and much of the stuff I grew up with when I was his age. Kinda makes me want to pick up a guitar myself and try to play it. Probably left it too late, though.
As others have said, there's no stupid questions, we all learn through making mistakes and (hopefully) not making them again.
Enjoy.
Regards from Down Under

In actual fact...that number on the Dunlop frets (6105) does ring a bell. I had a luther up in Vancouver install them for me. Being a blues bender...they sure felt nice Maybe we had better start a new thread ... Vetts and Guitars... to see how many of the guys play? Swampblues: I'll rephrase for you... Guitars, Vetts and Girls are made for each other...
AussieJohn: There's only one thing that sounds better than a guitar....!!!! That's two of them!!! Get in there my friend... one play rhythm and the other smoke over it...then...swap.
Your will love it...
