Great sound, Greg. Now for a lengthy thread discussing the tonal characteristics of different brands of battery...

Hmm. That discussion could be quite electrifying. |

We ought also to examine the tonal nuances generated by the varying amount of charge left on said dry-cell batteries.  |

Too bad, before watching this video, I just gave away all my dead batteries - free of charge!
That one is so bad I should be convicted of battery. I just haven't been charged.
This could be a positively energizing thread!

Hey all! Another perspective. During my fortunate career playing steel in Nashville I've owned and played most of the cutting-edge steels as they improved over the years. Recently I've had to sell off most of my precious steel-related gear to facilitate an illness and finances. Just recently acquired a nice Magnum SD-10, not as fancy as most of the other guitars I've owned, but otherwise, checks all the boxes. My point...if you have a sufficient instrument and the know-how to play it you will be just fine! Would you agree? Regards,RK😉

This is the oddity I was borrowing over in Korea: a dreadnaught body with a strange, dark stain, a metal pickguard, a bent neck (complete with misaligned fret-marker dots!), all topped-off with an Ovation-style headstock.  I’ve never seen such a thing. We called it The Platypus.
