Recently, I mentioned returning from Arkansas with a new Taylor K14ce Builder's Edition guitar, and that I would post a video demo'ing it soon.
Well, I also brought back from Arkansas a pain in my left shoulder that seemed minor at the time, but has grown into enough of a problem that I can't manage my Taylor (or any full size guitar) for now. I am managing the pain and stiffness by icing my shoulder every couple of hours, but it is getting progressively worse day by day. I will set up an appointment with the VA on Monday and wait to see what happens.
Meanwhile, I can manage to play my McPherson Touring carbon fiber travel guitar. Back around 2007 or so when I bought my Cargo, I knew the day would come when that would be all I could manage, just due to the process of aging. The McPherson is what the Cargo would have been, had the R & D been put into it, so in terms of size and scale (and manageability as a player), they are identical.
So now, the time has come for me to take advantage of that foresight so I can at least continue to play guitar. I could be perfectly with these small carbon fiber guitars because they are high quality instruments. Hopefully, my shoulder will get fixed and I will be able to play any of my guitars again. If not, I will have to sell them at some point.
This getting old idea was certainly not a particularly good one.
