Pastor Carver: Do you not realize this sinner is forsaking his wife for the material things of life ? How are you going to lead him to the path of righteousness and sinless living ? For I say unto thee, thou hast done this poor soul a great disservice to thy ministry. Ahhh, but heck, it's much nicer sleeping with a guitar !

Jody Carver · From: KNIGHT OF FENDER TWEED

Please,,,I ask your help,the calls have been less than expected,while this quad is sitting
in a music store looking for a home.
Do Not Forsake Me Oh My Friends..we need your
help for Andy to get this once in a lifetime
kind of deal. Its almost "High Noon".

Spread the word,,spread whatever you like

but most of all help Andy. Im appealing to all denominations "Christians,,Jews,Arabs,etc
Dont let Andy down.

I also double as a Priest and Rabbi.

It pays Union scale. Give Andy your support.
I know he wears support hose,but needs much more than that to convince his wife he needs
that guitar.

His referring to the quad an "an axe" may have hurt his chances..would you want to be married to someone who sleeps with his "axe"?

Open your hearts,,open your minds,,.

Thank you

Aloha Jody,
What year is the quad, scale length, where is it, condition and how much...perhaps, just maybe a deal can be struck...email me with photos of the guitar...

Dave Boothroyd · From: Staffordshire Moorlands

Here's an idea to promote marital concord and keep everybody happy.
Tell the wife it's a duet guitar!
You bought it so you could sit together, and she would play the outer necks while you play the inner two. (You'll have to explain that Ladies dance backwards- but we've got away with that one for years)
"I was only thinking of you sweetheart" you should say. "I thought it would be something we could do together"
Worth a try,Hey?
Cheers
Dave

Ricky Davis · From: Bertram, Texas USA

Dump the Chick and get the guitar already

There ain't a girl on earth worth more than a Quad.

Andy Zynda · From: Wisconsin

Ricky,
I would agree with you with the exception of one person on the planet. My Barby.
This is a woman who helped me build our house, (saws, nailers, tyvek, sheetrock, she did it all), raised my stepson for his first 13 years on her own, plays in the band only because I want her to, learns just about everything I throw at her, has let me acquire no less than 19 guitars, 7 Fender amps, the PA, a recording studio, 3 Hammond organs, 4 Leslies, a '66 Correct Craft Mustang power boat, and loats of other toys. AND, SHE bought us a '39 Ford 9N tractor (with loader) for yard/landscaping work, loves to go shopping for TOOLS, likes action & sci-fi movies, HATED 'Out Of Africa' is blonde, blue-gray eyes, 5'4", built, great sense of humor, a smile like the sun rising, and plays keyboard, rhythm guitar, mandolin and THE DRUMS!!!

Do you think that there's any material thing on the earth worth more?
Not to me....
(Hey Jody, you can let up, she has given in to your charms, and her own common sense)
One last thing: This is the woman who encouraged me to buy my "Holy Grail" amp, Danny Gatton's signed, personally modded, 64 Vibrolux Reverb.

Hey Dave,
That "it's for us" thing can be dangerous, with a woman who's a paralegal, and smart as a whip. She knows when I'm schmoozing, and tends to bust my ass when she's had enough.
This is also the woman who knocked her brother in the head with a 2X4.
She grew up on a farm with 5 brothers. They once took on old junker chevy out in the pasture, tied the steering wheel to go in a circle, let 'er go, and shot the thing to death with rifles. Her brother Dick, hit the carb at one point, shettered it, and the fuel line was pumping gas straight into the intake manifold. The exhaust manifolds were glowing cherry red when the old beast finally died.

Im afraid I may have caused a "revolution" here. If Andy would feel better,I will request that this thread be closed. It was
in jest that I posted this.

I'll wait to hear from Andy before I request any changes regarding this thread.

Oh My,,,,what did I do??? Whats that old saying? good guys finish last??

Thanks anyway

A Good Guy

"I THINK"???

No No Jody, Barb's gonna love this!! Her sense of humor is her first and foremost personality trait. She'll get a huge charge out of all this!!
And you are the BEST of the BEST of guys!!

(thanks, all of you fellers, barb's going to laugh her butt off reading this thread!)

Ricky Davis · From: Bertram, Texas USA

Ok than Andy; Sell some of those many guitars......and buy that girl a great big diamond ring(or a new tool box...whatever)

Sounds like a good girl....and you might wanna hang onto that one...ha

Ricky

Jody Carver · From: KNIGHT OF FENDER TWEED

Boy,,,thats a load off my mind. I thought I was causing a family argument. You know they
say,(be careful what you wish for,as wishes
do come true).

I hope that Andy's wish comes true. As for my being the "best"? Im not,,I just talk more
than anyone else.

but then again,,,that's
how I made a living and stayed out of the Army. When I went for my physical back in 52
during the Korean conflict,,I had to undergo
a physical which included an evaluation of my
mental state of mind....In other words they wanted to know if I was NUTS.

The shrink asked me all these weird questions
like,,,,are you(me) afraid of knives??? my answer which I thought was appropriate was,,
well,if someone was chasing me with a knife,of course I would be afraid. He then replied what would you do,,I said I would run
like hell,But If I was slicing a loaf of bread my answer was NO..was I wrong?

He said,,,Sir,,(thats me)you are about to be inducted into the greatest fighting force's in the world,(I could hear the bugles and drums everywhere and saw myself as a hero).
He asked if I had any doubt about killing the
enemy..I replied,,hey,,,fuhgeddaboudit,just
give me a rifle and foget the basic training
& I'll kill em all.

He went on,,,this is serious business,now lets answer these simple questions. Do you like women?..I said sure,,but I dont mess with them,,,he then said why not?? I said well I play my guitar that has three necks...he looked at me kinda weird and said
"three necks"??? I said yes and could you hurry this thing along..Im going on the Perry
Como show tomorrow night and I have to go home and practice. He said...practice what??
I said my three neck guitar.I told him to hurry pleeze,,I waited as he looked at me kinda weird,,he was NUTS I was the sane one.

I said I have to hurry home..how many times must I tell you? He was annoyed and may have thought I was "faking" my sanity he didnt realize I was the real deal. He said Son,(now Im his son) you are crazy..I said OK
just write it down,,,he did...as I left and turned to look at him,he was telling another
shrink about me,,,I hollered out..hey..tune
into Channel (4) tomorrow night and see the
Perry Como Chesterfield show, and you will see me and my three neck guitar,,Im not the guy who is doing the singing,,,thats Como..but Im the guy with the three necks look for me. Im outta here. They classified me as being "3F" which meant Three Fenders.
If I had a quad at that time I would have been "4F". Nothins wrong me me,,whats the matter with you guys,,,someone had to do it.

BTW ,,,more important..Andy sent me a great CD and the title is "From A 2 Z and let me tell you,,,this is one of the best things I have ever heard before,,I couldnt beleive how fine Andy played.

First it was Gene Jones who made refererence
to himself as an old time player...Yeah Right
Old Time?? well take me outta here and bring me back to those times.

Then there was Ray Montee..another one who made reference to himself as an old guy from the "quote" olden days..I think he left the
"G" off the "olden" days..he another great steel player then and now...the same as Gene
Jones.

Then along came Keoki..a very humorous guy & he too buttered me by saying he plays like a
"Cornball" OK so pass the corn.I'll take all
I can get.

Then Paul Graupp who pretends to be just a so
so kind of player,,so he sends me a tape,,and
I called him a dammed liar and yes he was a so and so for telling me he didnt play well.

Then along comes another soft spoken and intelligent man (what does he need from me Im an idiot by comparison) he tells me he made a CD especially for my wife and myself and once again,,another fine player by the name of Everett Cox. Thought I forgot you? no way

.

Last but certainly not least...I receive a CD from Andy Zynda...the name fits him as he
does play everything from A 2 Z.

Im no talent scout..Im not Arthur Godfrey,but
Im sure there are others on this Forum who are pretenders. They say they cant play and they play their "butts" off.

There are those who say a lot of themselves and play a little,,there are those who say little of themselves and play a lot..Emmons says a little and you know the rest.The grass
looks greener in the other guys yard.You need
look no further than this Forum for the Best
Of The Best.

And with that I say goodbye and please make your contribution to.

Ricky, I'll drink to that!

In fact, here are 10 reasons why a guitar is better than a woman (there are many more of course..)

You can enjoy a guitar at anytime during the month.

You don’t have to wine and dine and guitar, or buy it jewelry and clothes that it only wears once...

A guitar doesn’t get jealous when you admire another guitar...

A guitar doesn't mind you bringing other guitars home...

A guitar is always ready to play...

A guitar looks the same in the morning...

If you change guitars, you don’t have to pay alimony...

A guitar doesn’t hog the whole closet, or care if the toilet seat is up...

A guitar doesn't mind you watching cartoons, Godzilla, and Charles Bronson movies on Saturdays; and never nags you to change the channel...

And the number one reason why a guitar is better than a woman:

You’re proud to show your friends how wide your fender quad is...

Oh Man! Joey D??? The King himself! One of my top three CD's to listen to of all time is Relentless, with Joey and Danny Gatton. Two of the greatest players to walk the planet!
My Hammonds are:
a CV, dropped into a road-able case for gigging.
a C2, with a rebuilt 122
a B2, with A100 guts, making it a B3, with a 145 leslie (122 amp)
Yes, that "sound" is heaven on earth.
I couldn't afford any of this stuff, if it was in good condition, so I learned how to restore junkers. B3's have gone astronomical in cost. Leslie's are pricey too.
Almost everything I own started out needing help, that's how and why I learned how to fix almost everything.

Andy Zynda · From: Wisconsin

My wife Barb, replied the following to Reverend Carver:

Hi - Guess Who!! - Barby Zynda (Yep - Andy’s wife)
- The lucky lady who will probably soon be the proud co-owner of that Stringmaster quad thingy - thanks to words of wisdom from Pastor-Father-Rabbi-Mohammed Jody.

Hopefully you won’t mind if a female has some input here. There’s sooo much quad-tosterone flowing on this forum that I’m afraid I’ll get preggers just touching my mouse.

First of all, I do love a bargain. I shop all the dented, scratched, parts-missing, "it needs a good home", "I was gonna take it to the landfill, but you can have it", "it used to work", "it just needs a few things done to it", "I bet Andy could fix that" sales. Part of the fun of having the thing is doing the make-over and coming up with replacement parts by "borrowing" parts and pieces from the car, the pinball machines, the closet, the hamper, the cutlery drawer, old underwear (those underwires come in handy in a pinch), and the toilet - yep, that’s no sh--. The challenge of "making do" (in more ways than one) is what Andy is best at and it sure makes things interesting. Life is just one big scavenger hunt.

So, the other night Andy and I sat down and discussed the 4-necker duet guitar. He said he was "only thinking of you, sweetheart" and that it was something we could do together. That ladies dance backwards and therefore I would certainly have no problem playing the outer necks. Where in the heck does he get these romantic ideas?! That is just the sweetest thing he’s ever said to me. I told him in that case I have no problem whatsoever with him buying another steel. The other 3 do look a little lonesome, and we do need something with a contrasting color in the brown hues.

Oh yeah, he offered to buy me a diamond ring - of all things!! I gently told him, that if it was OK with him, I would opt for a new tool box or something with a Craftsman label, like the reciprocating saw he got me for Mother’s Day - especially if there was a new set of guitar strings along with it. Lately he is just full of really sweet new ideas. He must be hangin’ out with the right crowd.

But seriously, he’s not only the sweetest, most considerate, romantic, handsome hunk around, but is talented to no end. I’m burstingly proud of him, his CD and his music. To me there is no better in the universe than Andy - as a husband, father (to the kid and dogs and anything that strays into the yard), companion, fellow band member, do-it-yourselfer, and just BSin’ and having fun - and if there’s anything you could wish for, he’ll try his best. And the hardest job in the world is to keep the balance between buying what you want and keeping out of small claims court. Yup, it’s a dirty job but since nobody else has volunteered, I guess it’s mine. We just keep in mind that life is too short to not surround yourself with lots of the things that make you feel that your life was worth living. (And a few things that you can say, wow, I got away with buyin’ that!)

So, as I was saying, the other night we sat down, he picked up his Tele and plugged in his Gatton amp, and I picked up my Montgomery Wards guitar and plugged into my Pig Nose, and we played a few tunes. I asked him when I would be able to sound as good as he does. He said, as he always, does -"Practice, practice, practice, my Punkin, and some day you’ll be as great as I". As a sorta trade-off for him buying the Quad, he did buy me some lovely fabric so I could sew a gig bag for my Monkey Wards AND he threw in a real pick so I could get rid of the pop top I was using. So he’s got that goin for him.

But the long and short of it is - Andy whined, Jody said it was a great deal, somebody said there would be money in it, and I said "yes". Will send pictures of the newest addition when it comes in.

Andy Zynda · From: Wisconsin

Just for the record, the reciprocating saw was a REQUESTED item. It is, honest to Carver, exactly what she wanted.

Life is good...

Jody Carver · From: KNIGHT OF FENDER TWEED

After thinking it over,,,,,I dont think you play so good.

Dont buy that quad,,let me have it.

Everett Cox · From: Marengo, OH, USA (deceased)

Andy--Like you, I built my house (with help from Wife, Mom, Daughter), have learned to 'make do' and 'fix' most anything that we need/want.

Just one question, though ---

For a guy so obviously proud of taking 'old, broken, ugly' and making it 'new, working, beautiful', how come...

YOU GOT SUCH A 'PERFECT, TOP OF THE LINE, ALL FEATURES INCLUDED, TURBO POWERED, NEVER TO BE OBSOLETE' WIFE???!!!!

--Everett

Jody Carver · From: KNIGHT OF FENDER TWEED

Everett
And I thought Bob Villa was the only one with
"This Ole House" I see you are another.

Barb,,,Im happy to hear that Andy will be getting his Fender (4) send me a photo when
you have one available...I heard from the
POPE tonight,,,he is happy for Andy as well.
You may get a "Pope Mail" from him congratulating both of you guys,,,good luck and Happy Thanksgiving,,,btw,,if you need help re the house,,,,give Everett a holler.

Good luck,,,The Pope is working on his Popemobile and asked me to say hello for him.
