Cheers, only thing is that it weighs a ton. Feels like a Les Paul or heavier but its a pretty slim body, must be down to the acrylic they used for the body

shaowebb said:Technically, I don't play guitar but what I do play is close enough.
I play dulcimer, which is a three stringed diatonic instrument in small string sized tuned DAD or to generally any chord. I roll with some fat strings on my acoustic to give it a nicer tone more similar to a guitar, and I dont play folk with it as most do.
I tuned it GDG so that I can use any G major scale sheet music to play any song I find that I like, and I generally try to come up with indo persian tunes on my own (though I need more practice than I get.)
Why am I posting this.
Because I had an electric one made with a Dimebucker in the bridge and the low end invader Neck model pickup in the neck for my clean lead tones. The entire thing is made out of mahogany, and since it had a LOT more tonewood than a guitar due to it's shape it has some amazing sustain, and tone.
I use a line 6 pod 2.0 and occasionally a KORG deathmetal pedal for screwing around. I'm thinking of adding a midi pickup as well.
It was made by Tom Yocky for about $800 and was named The Flying Phoenix Dulcimer
This instrument generally makes everyone smile at the sheer ludicrous nature of it, and at the sheer beauty of it's tone. Pure guitarists don't understand why I bothered to do it, and pure dulcimer players are offended at the idea of a dulcimer playing metal. The thing is both sides can't help, but smile when I let them play around on it so maybe I don't so much offend anyone as I literally just confuse them hilariously when I whip this out.
It just sounds that clean and it's damned easy to play since it's a diatonic instrument tuned to a chord that you cant help but have fun around it.
I just wanted to prove you could use dulcimer playing skills just as much as guitar if you have the right gear to back it up and it's always a cool conversation piece in a set when you play it. I play overhand while standing, but the scooped out back allows for some nice upright play positioned on the knee, the flush bottom of the neck allows for a dulcimer to (finally) be played underhanded, and of course you can still play it traditionally in an overhand lap style.
Just thought this would be fun to post. Feel free to say whatever you want about it.

my brother brought me home this Charvel but I really dont know much about them. a friend left it sitting at his house about 7 years ago or so. I have really began to like it after playing it for a while but I am considering selling it. I think the model is a 275 or 375 so it has to be from 89'. I have looked online but not much luck on how to tell for sure. also any clue on how much it would go for?
I got myself a Fender Mustang 2 amp to coincide with my Blacktop Telecaster (was my 21st birthday present).monchi-kun said:anyone got some nice holiday gear? got a nice fender acoustic/electric...will post in a bit

Okay, a little late I know, but if you haven't picked one up yet and you're not sold on the value of paying boutique prices for a simple boost pedal, I've been using this for the last while into my Mesa Mark V and Fender SFDR with great results... Dirt cheap and sounds fantastic:Simon Belmont said:Hey Guitar Gaf, can someone recommend me a good boost pedal? I need to get just a little kick for doing solos.
I've got a Mesa TransAtlantic TA-15 head on order for Xmas, though it probably won't be here before Jan. 14th... It makes for a nice contrast to the Mark V my wife gave me for Xmas last year... Also have a couple pickups incoming for my ESP Eclipse II, which is currently sporting a paire of P-Rails, of which I am no longer enamoured...monchi-kun said:anyone got some nice holiday gear? got a nice fender acoustic/electric...will post in a bit
