<t>My grandson recently showed interest in playing and we are going to the music store Sat. When talking to the owner on the phone I metioned that I had a late '60 Telecaster and a Deluxe Reverb from the same era. He sounded very interested in doing some swapping. Would consider a swap for a high en...

<t>Thanks all for the sugestions. I set up a short cut to the Free Biginners Lesson on the guest side of my computer for him.

<t>Looking at purchasing a 12 string. Been on Ebay and there are quit a few brands that I don't remember from when I was active in the late '60s thru the late "70's Brag about your 12 string. <br/> I am looking at spending around $1000 new or used.<br/> <br/> In the early '70s I purchased a used Hof...
