FRIDAY NIGHT RIFFS

So, it's not a grandpa guitar then?
Phew! I was worried for a minute!

Here's a picture of my gramps a few months before he passed. I was barely 25. He's holding my first kid, she's going to be 16 soon. Also pictured behind is my dad.

And here's me playing it while still quite young. Still to this day, I despise being surprised by people with cameras.

I love old photos, has so much characters.
 
Mitch, I sure wish I could put you up here with Kathy and me.

I could put you to work and the 2 of us could do all the renovating of her place, my place, and even my Florida place. Kathy can pay you and feed you well too.

Then we can jam and you can help me record our riffs.

@Ramo

Somehow I still can't stop thinking how some guitars some people say are Edgy guitars are really GG guitars with Edges.
AND yet what I would call Edgy guitars don't bear any resemblance or similarity to any GG or other model guitar, short of having a neck, head stock and all the hardware/wiring etc.

For Example, Here is an Edgy Bass.

Here is an edgy guitar.

But somehow if I am to follow in your logic, this is an edgy g.

While this is a GG

Not being mean here, I guess I just require a thing to have a larger degree of " differences" to make something a GG vs and Edgy thing and to see no semblance of one being similar in any mistakable way.

Case in point.

So….. not sure of something. Does GG stand for:
Great guitar
Goofy guitar
Grand guitar
Grandpa guitar
Great Gatsby
Gopher guts (short for great gobs of greasy grimy gopher guts)
Great Guys
Or most likely something I’m missing by my inability to read between the lines?
 
Grandpa Guitar if I understand the originator of the term and even inventor of this topic within this Friday night Riffage thread. It all stems from @Ramo dislike for Teleradios, and especially brown guitars. Hence his term Grandpa Guitar.

I went to play some of my GG's after midnight and they all said they were too old.
So, I had to play my Edgy Jackson RR3 V guitar instead.

I sort of came to the same conclusion. Had to read back several pages. Guess my entire collection falls under the GG category.

Gotta admit. I do get somewhat offended that since I don’t own a “V” somehow that invalidates my guitars as being worthy. But that’s just this grumpy old grandpa.

I would not feel offended. @Ramo has his preferences,. just like Norm likes Godins very much, Robert likes Gibson scale lengths, wide neck nut widths, and guitars with flawless intonation and durable frets, SS amps etc. So it's all good if we enjoy widely different equipped and designed gear.

It’s all good till someone disses what I own. I may not be a fan of every guitar you guys play. Would not own it personally. I would never rip you on your choice of weapon.
 
Ya all missing a point!!!!


Play what you want, buy what you want!!!!


It dose not change fact that modern guitars are modern and old guitars are old guitars.

It dose not mean old guitars are bad they just look dated. Specially brown coloured ones.

If that hurts your feelings thats on you.

Except my good sir. You’ve all but suggested the only thing a telecaster is good for is firewood. I have two of them. You see where I’m coming from? And that….. is not on me.
 
Iblive, if I may continue to intercede. Yes Ramo may have poo poo’d Telecasters and made his firewood comments, but I also feel that part of the “extreme” comments of his regarding Teles and even Lester’s or other non supposed Metal guitars, is a mere continuation of good natured teasing going back n forth between him and some of the other members. It has been simply a bit of horsing around much like Adrian expresses his disdain for soldering, and yet we seldom pass up a chance to rib him about it. Ramo certainly means no ill will toward yours, mine, sessions, RVA’s, headache, clockwork mike,gball, boon, etc choices of guitars or our music choices that bring us enjoyment. He and a good number of us simply have engaged in a bit of extracurricular tit for tat.
