I like your guitar=]

Did you install the bigsby yourself?

Maybe, can you make a video on your pro jet?

[Hoodrio]

@crazytrashman123 Thanks. The Bigsby came installed from prior owner. Check out my "Can't Buy Me Love Lesson" for more details on the guitar.

What kind of pickups did you put in that Pro Jet?

[Hoodrio]

@johnielsen08 The guy I bought it from put them in, but they are GFS NY II/ NY III, as noted at the end of the lesson. They are great alone but don't match up, so I'm going to try putting the stock pups in.

@Hoodrio Do you prefer the NYII or NYIII? I want to get to the NYIII for my hollowbody but I'm worried it won't be as good as the NYII which everyone seems to know.

Neil Young is the best example in music of 'less is more'. Country Home's melody/riff is otherwordly. He wrote it in 1976 and titled it, "Spud Blues", laterly played it solo acoustic with harmonica then revived it in 1990 for Ragged Glory. PM me for the 1976 Fort Worth, Texas version which is insane, wild, gloriously uplifting! It feels so GOOD!
