                                                  That Sinking Feeling!

Merai enjoyed drives along the back roads, less traffic and signs to cause problems, but the interstates with their long wide lanes of clean smooth pavement gave her the fullest sense of the freedom of the road.  The green rolling hills of the Pennsylvania countryside passed by the panoramic windows of the classic vehicle.  Weekend traffic proved reasonably light, so Merai enjoyed the road with very few fellow travelers.

Part 2

All around Town

Merai visited the bank first.  This should have been the easiest part of the day, but her tardiness placed her in the there around noon.  Sparks, the Jack Russel Terrier she had worked with initially on the loan was at lunch, now she had to deal with an elderly tortoise, Enos Allen Futzenputter III, who lived up in all aspects to the stereotype.  An eternity of patient waiting later, she had the cash in hand, but the cross-town bus that would have taken her to the notary to meet Tom and Ellie had just left.  She called the notary on a pay phone, yes the two cats were there, and yes they would wait
One of those days: Long StoryMerai was a caramel furred porcupine.  She stood 5'4" tall and weighed a little more than 100 pounds, honest!  Well, one might perhaps wheedle the full truth out of her, but that would not be polite!  A shock of chocolate brown hair shot through by several tan quills framed her face, her deep blue eyes, and subdued muzzle that tipped in a pink button nose.

The porcupine had searched for an antique car for some time now, and finally her quest had ended!  Not only was the vehicle in her price range, but it was a driver!  Merai held a decent job, but she still did not make enough money to have a "museum piece" sitting around the house.

One of these kids is not like the other...

Epiphone Nighthawk:

(Not to shabby for made in Indonesia!)

The biggest complaint about a Les Paul is the weight. With a thick mahogany body, and maple cap, some of them could push the scales to over ten lbs! Imagine standing for an hour-long gig with a ten lb. bowling ball strapped to your neck!

Thus was born the SG. A thin-bodied, like a Fender Strat, but with Gibson pickups and flair. It was a great success when Gibson introduced it in 1958 to boost flagging sales of the historic Les Paul line. It was one of the few immediate commercial successes Gibson had.

The iconic flying V, and the Explorer made waves, but sold poorly. These were awesome guitars that needed time to cook before the public was ready.

In 1993 Gibson introduced the Nighthawk. Another thin-bodied guitar, like the SG, but with a more Les Paul-ish body. they gave it three pickups, and a coil-tapping feature to boot. This guitar could produce an incredible variety of tones with just the flip of a switch, and the pull of a knob! Nobody liked it. By 1999 they stopped making them. then the underground found them and discovered the truly amazing tone machines they are!

Today, they are reissuing them, both from Gibson, and from Epiphone. On a lark, I plugged the Epi in at the local guitar store. When I flicked the switch from position one to two, I was hooked! The sound this guitar makes is incredible!

She's light, about six lbs, she growls, she sings, she hums, she sparkles, she slices, she dices... Ehh you get the point... ^^;

It might have taken a while, but we might see the rise of a new star in the Gibson lineup! =^^=


Agile 3000

This is a beautiful example of what the Koreans can make! The flame veneeer is gorgeous, and the solid mahogany body simply resonates with tone! What more can I say? Her ebony fretboard is beautiful, and the five layer binding around her body is a perfect accent!

Why did I get another Agile 3100? there is a reason if you look closely! three internets to the one that figures it out! :D

That is it! Score three internets! :D

I'm trying to get a little more dexterity into my right hand... Let me tell you, it is not easy transferring the skills from one hand to the other!

Heh, too true, I need to find out a way to make the pictures show the beauty of the guitar rather than the spark of the flash! =^^;
