p.s. - Al that's good advice. You can still play the guitar but don't put your sweaty disgusting arms on it.... without long sleeves!!
Long sleeves not an option
for me, just can't stand the slightest binding on arms when playing. I move 'em around too much.
Won't even wear a watch on the fretting hand.
LMAO!! And also, you could reacquaint yourself with that lovely F65ce..... Do you have an amp for that puppy, bro?
If memory serves (I think the sweat damage story actually happened around 2005 or 6), I hadn't quite figured out how to play the F65ce yet but it was a good excuse to start putting playing time on the '40, which was still the sonic runt of the litter at the time.
And it might well have been when I finally started learning "how to actually play the F65ce".
The size and shape was such a radical departure from the dreads that I think I finally saw the light late one night after giving the '40 a workout and was a bit tired but still "in the mood".
I realized it was responding better to a much more delicate touch than the dreads.
At the same time I realized I should put the extra lights back on it as I'd strung it with .012's shortly after I bought it.
I do have a Crate 20w amp but I think I've only plugged in twice. I'm just too effin' lazy to haul it out of closet when I know I have to put it away again afterwards.
Besides the apartment not bein' the ideal place for a guitar amp.
The bridge lift on it's finally getting to be bad enough to require repair. The gap's about the thickness of a business card on the treble side now, and the straightedge lines up perfectly with the bridge on the bass side but comes
above the bridge on the treble.
I'd been holding out for a local warranty repair but suspect Cordoba'll shirk the request.
Or if they want me to ship it it wouldnt be worth it anyway, besides the shipping risk.
Also I've realized it might be a
little more complicated than a simple R&R of the bridge because of the UST.
I have no idea how easy (or not) that's gonna be to "work around".
Suspect it's probably wired right to the preamp and may require soldering as opposed to an actual easy disconnect connector.
Guess I'm gonna have to "dig into it" sometime soon here.
Given my druthers I'd deliver it to the luthier with the UST already disconnected but ready to re-install. IF I'm sure I can do it.
Working space both in my apartment AND in the guitar is the primary complication, there.
I know how to use a soldering iron.
