capo ?

Chris, do you prefer a set neck, or a bolt-on neck on your Corn Flakes guitar?

I find that the set neck provides much better sustain. I plan on upgrading my corn flakes model soon. I'm going to add rasins. I need something to soften that crunch.

:lol:

Hi Snarfy,

Set neck or bolt on depends a bit on whether I'm using the stick of celery or the leek for a neck. Last time I played it, the audience all shouted "rhubarb, rhubarb..." so maybe I should try that instead... :?

Great "Crunch" pun! I'm a sucker for a good pun. :D We have a cereal here called Sustain as well, so maybe that's the box to use...

Sorry about delayed response - it's due to living upside down in Australia and sleeping while you guys are all awake. I also had a rather major computer crash to fix up. :cry:

Rik,

I haven't lost it - I never had it in the first place... :shock: :)

OK, I'll admit to not completely understanding the "rhubarb" thing. I suspect that you've lapsed into speaking Australian :P But I'm sure it's darn funny.

On a serious (and actually relevant to the thread) note, I sometimes use a capo just to make chord changes easier. I don't know if it's due to string tension, or smaller fret spacing, or what, but if I tune down 1/2 to 1 step, then put a capo at the first or second fret, I'm much better at chord changes.

Hey, "Sustain" would be a great name for a Viagra-type drug, wouldn't it? Gotta get down to the patent & trademark office!

Chris, mate I'm still LMAO. Celery, leeks and now rhubarb, you're getting worse buddy you really are :D

Question for you and Snarfy, what strings do you use :?:

String beans?

Yup, should have seen that one coming. Greybeard you are as bad as the other two :lol:

Or maybe strings of onions, for a truly awesome rendering of "While my guitar gently weeps"

Ouch

I've got nothing. And, anyway, it's degenerated to the point where I think I should just back out of this discussion while no one's paying attention 8)
