	Lunch Report for Monday, February 8, 2010 posted by BoogieBill on February 08, 2010 at 09:29:51:

I've got some Hee-Haw overalls. Perhaps I can work a Roy Clark song into my "routine" and wear those bad-boys. They stand out more than a metal-flake G&D with a mirror guard. Heck, he even endorsed one of my favorite acoustic guitar companies, Alvarez-Yairi.

: Yet, Jim Morrison closed his eyes and often completely turned his back to his audience.

He may not have realised this.

... a good sound—a video recorder will reveal the guitar player’s shaky leg and the drummer picking his nose.

Isn't that what a drumstick is for? Generally, this move can only be seen if you slow down the video, sort of like a hummingbird flapping its wings.

And the foundation for that is having enough confidence in your abilities that you can relax on stage and have FUN with your audience.

I'm working on that.

: Here’s an Ibanez Ghostrider that I bought for less than $200. I love these guitars; I have two of them. This is the one in orange sunburst; the other is vintage sunburst, dark brown around the edges. They are lightweight, sweet sounding guitars and a good alternative to a Les Paul or Paul Reed Smith. The first ones were custom made for shredder Shawn Lane, and produced for only two years.

I've heard good things about the playability of Ibanez guitars from more than a few accomplished guitar players.That Ghostrider looks like a nice one.

: Tell us about some of your bargains, past and present. What is the cheapest guitar in your collection that you actually play?

My best bargain is probably my '86 ASAT in OHSC. It's a very early one, and is the virtual Broadcaster. I paid $400 for it a little over 1 year ago. Admittedly, the frets were a bit worn, but even after getting it refretted, I feel the $600 total is still good. It's a great guitar.
Acoustic-wise, I paid $150 for my Alvarez 5035 model. It's a very rare model (Many not mean more $) that was only made in 1984. It's the easiest to play acoustic that I've ever felt, and has a very nice sound.

: More importanly, is there a pointy, Floyd Rose or Kahler-equipped shred machine in your future?

If I could find a "longhorn" body style Comanche or Interceptor, I'd be hard-pressed not to attempt a purchase.
