Dumpsters and garbage cans... Several years ago, I happened to look down a back lane as I drove by, and saw what looked like a guitar sticking out of a garbage can. I investigated, and found a beautiful Yamaha 12 string acoustic. :o It was in need of minor repair, and a new set of strings... I also noted a few other items that would be the typical possessions of a male... ;) I played and enjoyed that guitar for several years!

It never ceases to amaze me what some people will throw away. I was contacted by someone via my website who found a 1972 Celebrity-II in a trash can in New York. All it needed was a pickguard and a new nut.

Cool! Those 360F models are really cool, like nothing else in the Rick lineup.

I'm interested to know what guitar-tuning pattern is used in the video :?
(It doesn't seem to be tuned: E-A-D-G-B-E)

regular tuning. I have been tuning to Eb for 20 years or so because singin all night tends to wear on me

It's hard to beat a 1997,1993/12, or a 330. Except on the bloody prices!!!! :x
