Twinfan's going custom built again... (review and clip now added!)

[Tellboy]

Looks and sounds great. I notice you included Roxette - will you be going for the black nail varnish ( a la Phil X ) to complete the look?

[Twinfan]

:lol:

I nearly made a joke about that!  Maybe if I wear the nail polish, I can play it better  ;)

[Plexi Ken]

Sounds great, nice chime  8)

[Ratrod]

Sounds great.

Would you mind if I posted a link to the clip on the Gretschpages?

Trust me, they'll dig it.

We brought to Teles to the Gretsch Roundup yesterday. My Esquire and a thinline with Bigsby and two Supertrons.

[Twinfan]

No problem Ratrod  :)  Just apologise in advance for my playing  ;)

And if there's a thread going, can you send me a link?

I managed to see the vid and to hear the clip. A great guitar-I love that finish and it sounds fantastic. Great workmanship Wez.

[Ian Price]

Good stuff Dave - I must learn the chords to Roxanne!

It's very open sounding and the Orion is sounding good to. I'm assuming you had the power scaling on.

[Andrew W]

I love the look and sound of that guitar.  I think everyone involved needs to give themselves a good slap on the back.  I really like that clear, yet punchy tone.  Very nice.

[Twinfan]

Yep, I had the Power Scaling on.  The overall volume was TV levels - you can hear the strings acoustically in the quieter parts.

Looking forward to band rehearsal on Tuesday when I can crank it up a bit.

And these wimpy 9s wearing out so I can put some "real man" 10s on it  ;)

[WezV]

 i try and keep a stock of 9's, 10's and 11's in stock.  usually i never seem to have the ones i need but i do have them all at the moment and had 9's in my head.  the thinline got the ones from the gigbag and i meant to put the same on the little cuckold bar-steward goat (been trying to find the definition again). i must have got confused as i was sure it was getting 9's

[Twinfan]

It's no problem Wez  :lol:

I've been trying to find out what Cabronita means too!  Female baby goat doesn't quite seem right, so I guess it must be a swear word.

Maybe Fernado Esteves knows????

I've been trying to find out what Cabronita means too!  Female baby goat doesn't quite seem right, so I guess it must be a swear word.

Having seen a few Mexican and Spanish films, it seems to be used as an all-purpose swear word, sometimes as an insult, sometimes affectionately.... a bit like "mother$%&#er" on The Wire or something.

But also "La Cabronita" sounds feminine, so maybe it's something like Little Bitch.  In a good way.

[Twinfan]

The Little Bitch?

Kinda suits it! :lol:

[TheIronBeast]

I believe the literal translation of "La Cabronita" is The Little Goat. But in Spainish it is used in the context as The Little Bitch/Bar-steward ;)
