Just fancied change as my SG is looking a bit worn out after 5 years of gig abuse.
Or maybe somebody finally recognized it as theirs?

No, different guitar.

The guitar that's been put into storage, the ESP explorer, played well but nothing on the Tele.

I played a gig today with my new guitar and realised I may need a StrumGuard. I forgot the bigger shape of a semi acoustic gives you the burn on the inner forearm. It's either that or wear a coat on stage.

Cool guitar, shouldn't be in storage.

Plus it has a sharper edge, right?

Yeah, the SG has a rounded off side. The guitar was great though, the sound was cutting right through and stayed in tune well. It may be a case of just putting a small plaster on my inner forearm with some cotton wool behind it. The area affected is only about an inch long.

I find a regular old sweatband works pretty well, but it really depends on the length of your strumming stroke. I use the wrist more than the elbow.

The damage is bang in the middle of my forearm. I'm an elbow rather than wrist player.

Just like Billie Joe Armstrong! You should start a Green Day cover band!

I wonder if the wrist/elbow thing can be used as a personality test of any kind.

Since we're posting, this is my '76 Gibson G3 which I'm pretty proud of. It's made of wood and sounds it! Very punchy tone, good for rock and hard funk.
