Most of us play our accoustic guitars at the jam sessions here.
But I was just wondering how many of you also own and play electric guitars. What kind? And what amp do you have? Tell us about it.
As for me, I have a 1979 Gibson ES-175D, an arched…
I would suspect that if Gibson guarantees/warrantys the instrument then you'd just contact them to see what they will do to make the warranty good. They'll probably do the work themselves, but I'm just guessing.

I am playing a (dare I say) a Gibson J-185 Blues King and have silk and steel strings, very light for the guitar but I do this because I love the tone I get although it's very easy to over play these strings when playing bluegrass. My friend Gibby n…
Another thought about the C-E-G-A voicing. If you rescramble these notes into 3rds you get A-C-E-G or A-7. Putting this voicing as a Root position A-7 (4 way close) and the other one as a First inversion A-7.

In my reply I first said that the the 3-5-1-7 is the Drop 3 inversion that guitar players usually play as a C6 chord. I scrambled the numbers. The previous numbers 3-1-5-7 were correct.

A common voicing for a C6 chord is
String 6 C

2 G
This would be theoretically a first inversion A-7 from the Drop 3 family of chords
Drop 3 chords are voiced 1-7-3-5,then1st inversion-3-1-5-7. The 3-5-1-7 gets you what guitar players com…
Thanks for the reply, Paul...
However, I can't see any use at all in calling a chord a "13" if it does not actually have a 13 note in it.
For the sake of debate:
If (in C) I play the 1-3-5 notes (C-E-G) I'd call that a C chord. Now I'll add the 6…
Been playing Bluegrass guitar for over forty years. Played electric guitar (Gibson ES 175) and Fender Fretless Bass for the "Establishment", a 21 piece Big Band out of Nashville for several years (member of Musicians Union at the time).
Also play piano and played Bassoon and guitar in college, where I started out with a major in music and received a music scholarship.
What's the most fun to play? Blues and Bluegrass! And jazz!
