Sweet, I really like the looks of the Hellraiser esp. in black cherry. How does it play and how are the necks on those?

I have a RGx-420 gun metal grey. Plays like an Ibanez.

Ya, the hellraiser is really nice. The neck is in between a LP and a Ibanez wizard. Some people don't like it because its too thick but i don't mind it at all. What matters is hot comfortable it is, and it is very comfortable.

Re: How many guitars do you have?
 
I have a lot of guitars now, but I'm probably much older than you and I've been down to one guitar at times in my life. One is all you need my friend and as you get older and make more money along come the guitars. It's kind of cruel how when I could have really used all the guitar I have now I couldn't afford them, but now that I can afford them I don't have all the time necessary to play them as much as I used to.

Just keep playing

Nope, no dulcimers. I can only barely play a little banjo and even less mando, and the only reason I can chord on the uke is that partial guitar chords (top 4 strings) work on a uke (though they are in a different key than what's produced on guitar).

We do have some kind of weird antique instrument that is somewhat like a dulcimer, but we just use it as a decoration in our living room. If I remember to, I'll take a look at it tonight and see what it's called. It's some made-up name, apparently back in the day luthiers just made up new instruments that didn't necessarily correspond to anything else.

floydmoline 04-02-2008 07:33 PM

Re: How many guitars do you have?
 
lol, yeah a mountain dulcimer is not any more complex to play than any other plucked string instrument, but they are modal, not chromatic, which kinda messes with you lol only having certain accidentals, i never could figure out why they didn't just make them chromatic, but i guess most of the "mountain" music which is based on scottish and irish traditional music is mostly modal, but i do have fun playing it i like the drone of it, it's like bag-pipes, but strings instead of wind..... most of my original music on it exploits that lol i just let the low D drone and play melody on the unison strings....... it does have a scottish sound to it.

Well, I climbed up on the shelves and got that thing down, but it only had the name of the company inside the sound-hole. I thought for sure it had some funky-made-up instrument name on it, perhaps it was in an instruction book that we bought with it, but I can't find. Whatever it is, it's funky. It has about four courses of 4 strings each, and then a big batch of courses with 2 strings each. No single strings.

Re: How many guitars do you have?
 
is the fret board modal? or chromatic?

I don't know whut them big fancy words mean! I mean I think I do (chromatic is like a harmonica that only has the notes in one key, right?) but I prolly couldn't tell by looking at the thing anyhow.

I'll climb up the shelves later and get it down again, iirc it does have the inteneded note for each string printed underneath each string.

floydmoline 04-05-2008 09:06 AM

Re: How many guitars do you have?
 
chromatic is like the guitar (A, A#, B, C, C#, D, D#, E, F, F#, G, G#).....
modal is like a mountain dulcimer (D, E, F#, G, A, B, C#, D) some notes are missing, and on a fretted instrument the frets will be missing too
guitar neck = I I I I I II
mountain dulcimer neck = I I I I I I I

bad examples lol

those are mountain dulcimers, notice the goofy fret scale, that is modal

Ah, OK, I had it backwards then.

A'ight, I'm climbing up to get it back down off the shelves...

OK, got it.

First course: DAF#D
2nd course: FCAF
3rd course: FBGG
4th course: ECGC

After that come the courses of two strings each, each the same note. There are 15 courses, beginning at a low C and going up to a high C, with no sharps or flats: C D E F G A B C D E F G A B C.

Since it's missing most sharps and flats I guess it's modal? It comes with a little hammer to hit the strings, consisting of a handle, a metal bendy bit, and a little wooden mallet head on the other end.

How many guitars? More than I actually need. Let's see...

Acoustic: Washburn Dread, A&L 000, Olde Yamaha classical: 3
Electric: LP, SG, Wilshire, Strat, Cyclone, Traveler: 6

Total: 9

floydmoline 04-07-2008 10:34 PM

Re: How many guitars do you have?
 
LOL yeah that is most deffinatly modal, i am curious now, can you take a picture of it? i'm on a mission to figure out what it is lol, all those courses or strings almost sounds like a sitar, they are modal too, since indian scales are very odd when compared to western chromatic music.

Actually, I have another one pending on ebay, but I'd really rather someone outbid me, as I didn't see it was paypal-only until after I bid.

$102 US takes it, there's about 1 day left:

Looks like a lot for the money. My guess is someone will bid a little higher.
