--- Quote from: Ballard on 15 Nov 2007, 13:18 ---Every Thursday, I go to guitar club at my school and listen to a bunch of kids in Iron Maiden T-shirts play Metallica riffs for 45 minutes straight on their bastard Strat copies.
I basically only go cause the teacher supervisin' is a cool guy and we end up talking about 90s psych bands most of the time.
Today however, someone brought in a low-end Gretsch. Nothing fancy, an Electromatic of some sort. But that it's all it took to remind me just how gay I am for semi-hollow guitars. It was so fun playing the damn thing.

Semi-hollows are sexy.

I'm thinking of even making a homebuilt semi-hollow just so I can get a nice, healthy screech from it when I put her next to the amp. I'm thinking Bigsby trem and Gretsch roller bridge + locking tuners on a Fender neck (probably Warmoth).
If I figure out how to post a link to send money to my PayPal, will any of you do it?

Also, WHY THE HELL ARE YOU PEOPLE NOT TELLING ME HOW BEAUTIFUL MY KAY IS. HOP TO IT.

No no no, man. You got it all wrong. It's a Kay. It's not supposed to be beautiful. It's like telling somebody their beat old 50's Chevy truck is cool because its beautiful, when its actually cool because its a beat up old Chevy truck. My old Kay, the Dirty Kay, was a '54 Rocketline beat to hell with a bad yellowed lacquer refin and a neck like a got-damn 2x4. It sounded like the blues all on its own, and I loved it. It started seperating at the neck, and I traded it to a knwoledgeable repair guy with some other guitars for an upright. I still miss that guitar.
Patrick:
My dad had a gorgeous sky blue '53 Chevy (I think '53 was just my family's year for cool shit) and I am failing to understand you. That thing was made of a steel-awesome-badass alloy, man.

Mmmmmm, Gretsch. I might be capable of murder if it got me a '61 Duo Jet.
