Thanks to Boogie Bill

A little over 2 years ago I purchased a Comanche VI. I had wanted one since I saw the ad copy for the original Comanche back in 1990 (ish). I have to admit the first few months of playing it were a little befuddling. Spent quite a bit of time getting close to the sound I was looking for. THEN...I found Boogie Bill's Comanches for Dummies post. His recommendations were instrumental (sorry, couldn't resist) in applying a systematic approach to getting the sounds I was looking for (mostly from my mind's ear) out of this guitar. Not quite a strat sound, nor a tele sound, not even a p-90ish sound. But more of a stratelebucker sound. Took a bit of trial and error using his suggestions, but I love the way it sounds now, and I liked the way it sounded even when it wasn't what I was necessarily looking for.

Been skulking around the site looking for information on my next purchase (Legacy Special). As I expected I found lots of useful information, and it will arrive Friday. Can't wait to try it out. I now own four G&L's: The Comanche, Legacy Special, ASAT Special, and ASAT III. These guitars are worse than potato chips. Its also a testament to the versatility of these instruments, as on electric I play mostly Jerry Reed, Brent Mason, and Scotty Anderson fingerpicking type instrumentals (or try to anyway). Having found myself responsible for a chemical manufacturing facility with all the accompanying headaches, at least they're cheaper than therapy, and more therapeutic.

At any rate, a huge thanks to Boogie Bill, as well as to Craig for putting the post in the info section. And yes, I will post pictures soon.

Congrats on your discovery + new acquisition. Ha - worse than potato chips. How true...

Jerry's the Man… Brent and Scotty aren't bad either

OMG!!! Thank you so much for the wonderful compliments! I am so happy you are enjoying your Comanche! You've made my day. (Just wait until you get my invoice for my consulting fees!)

And Katefan is correct, they are worse than potato chips, LOL! I don't want to scare you, but I have eighteen...and I'm thinking about another one!
