As far as I know, Dobro is a specific kind of resonator guitars. I could be wrong though...

Originally posted by haytrainI mentioned that I'd post a pic of my guitars here....so here we go:

The acoustic on the left is a Takamine G series...Nothing special really, I got it as a present when I graduated high school and still have it. Basic pickup inside.

The red strat is a Lotus, basically a cheap electric for me to mess around on. Sounds actually really good for how inexpensive it was. Probably falls somewhere close to a Squire and an Epiphone.

Finally, there's my Fender resonator, or as I like to call it, "My Chromed Out Big Pimpin'." I bought it a couple years back for it's really distinct sound, but to be honest, never learned how to play it right. It does sound amazing though.

Jeremy, how are you?! And yeah, nice guitars, got to love cheap and cheerful Fender copies

Originally posted by haytrain[..]

Exactly! Suits my needs perfectly! How's it going, Harry?

Doesn't it just suit us all lol? Although I'm a bit peeved because I've noticed for the first time in years that my brother's Yamaha Fender..copy..thing, although the body is slightly smaller than my Ridgewood, it has a humbucker which pisses me off lol! My Ridgewood just has 3 singles

But yeah, I'm not too bad m'man, yourself? Took a night off from the PC last night, just been spending half an hour checkin what I missed lol.

Yeah, I was actually out most of the night too....That day we had the marathon chat in about 5 different topics, that kind of took the wind out of my sails. I've needed some time to recharge my posting batteries.

I'm thinking of buying Logic so I can do some recording of myself on my new iMac.....my buddy works at the Apple store and said he could get me a discount, but it's still a lot of money to be spending if I don't have a job....

I think the use of "marathon chat" is an understatement of incredible proportions lol. The Logic thing sounds good, even if I'm not 100% clear as to what it is...?

Logic

Yeah, that was one of the funnier nights on U2start we've had in a while. It was great!
