Ibanez ALT30

Garland, We have a saying here at the Cabin.....

"Pics or it didn't happen."   Ha ha! 

But seriously, if you can, post pics of your new baby/s so we can put a "face" to the new bundles of joy in your life! 

I tried to post a picture. My technological savvy is a but behind the curve.

Here's a link

I put new Earl Ball extra light strings on it yesterday
It's sound is growing on me. In fact, I'm starting to rather like it. It's a bit different than a dreadnaught or a parlor body. It's not as melodious? I'm not sure that's the right word. It might want better pins. The ones that are in it are the worst looking ones I've come across for imperfections, like the QC dept was asleep. I'll probably get a tusq saddle too. It has what they call "plastic"- LOL, well duh.
And, it is cool looking!

Garland,

Just bought today an Ibenez Electric guitar, this Ibenez guitar thing must be catching.

Garland ,

It was just an old secondhand cheap thing, Ibenez GAX30, looks a bit like a Gibson GS.
Spent all afternoon cleaning, polishing the frets, conditioning the fretboard, tightening a loose tone pot, and fitting new strings.
I must admit it's not a bad little guitar, it has two humbuckers, with a three position switch.
It's good enough for me, it's mostly to use when the wife is in the same room, just plug the old headphones in and everybody's happy.

Garland,

 Thank you. 
The only problem is the guy in the video knows how to make the thing sing, I don't quite sound the same, I find it fun just finding all the different sounds/tones, you can play for hours without getting bored. 

Garland,

Wow gee, that is expensive for a set of tuners.
Maybe worthwhile checking out Strings and Beyond web site, they do a lot of guitar parts.
Good luck.
