Thank you for the interesting thread, BessieM.
I too dig Mr.Green.

Thank you pops1, the unitune is almost certainly my next adventure. :)
Motivated by a desire to end battery waste I've acquired a D'Addario 360 and the Boss TU-05.

I certainly agree with the point you make.
I had not thought of it till now but is everyone here on the Cafe old enough to remember Industrial America? Er, how long ago was that?

I ask this question because significantly fewer people today have any experience of making a physical product than even a generation ago. Hearing from folks who haven't ever actually manufactured...

I spent 4 years in heavy manufacturing as a young man.
It would be interesting to know how many on this thread have

Robertson needed Levon & the rest of the Band to create those songs.
He WAS an inspired composer and skilled player but like one reviewer said,

at least occasionally.
Glad you got a nice instrument!

The right thing to do, of course.
Good Luck! :)
Yes.
I love my old Gibson guitars and I am glad Gibson survives along with the craftspeople/ employees.
Still, when I hear 'Gibson' I remember Frank Zappa singing, to the strains of 'Midnight...
