your heart disease is reversable. proven
tried to explain that previously, but YOU pulled the mommy & daddy genes card, vs lifestyle. That's on you buddy.

life is a true fully enjoyable gift. (ESP if you don't fill your veins with excess calories-from-fat! HINT!)
don't detune guitar. more chance to get tweaked. fact
ps I just bring facts. often times, the truth hurts.

Alrighty, little man.... last wasted effort of mine on your ignorance and enjoyment of tormenting...... heart disease IS congenital; my whole family
had it (father died at 57 and was very slender)..... exercise is great if you don't have a broken back, and lastly.... it's a STENT, not a 'stint',
which shoots your credibility right in your patootie (immediately under your nose). How 'bout you just be nice ONCE. To SOMEBODY. I knew a kid in
junior high that would throw rocks at people over the playground fence because he knew he couldn't be touched. What school do you go to now? Go
away, Bezzell.

(Fortunately for you ... I'll give one last wasted effort.
Whether someone is skinny or fat is IRRELEVANT to what's being laid down inside their pipes. Capice?
Exercise is virtually irrelevant vs what's being shoved in your mouth. (ie FAT)
Your whole family had it 'cause your whole family ate the same. (often times ... the acorn does not fall far from the tree)
Compreneh amigo?)
don't detune guitar. It's a mistake.

For what it is worth, on our return from a road trip from Anchorage to Zihuatanejo, we stopped in a town high in the mountains between the coast, and
Guadalajara. There were a number of shops that manufactured stringed instruments of all kinds. The name 'Parracho', or something like that comes to
mind, but I am not sure about it.
My wife bought a beautiful twelve string guitar from the craftsman that made it, and my son got a mandolin, both with hard cases.
That was in mid April, and needless to say, we changed elevation, temperatures, and humidity many times on our drive north. Since she liked to play
the guitar when we stopped, she never de-tuned it.
What Buddah says is correct in this case, it got increasingly difficult to play and was warped by the time we got to Anchorage. I really don't give a
crap about anything that 'he whose name shall not be mentioned' has to say!

Lencho, thanks for confirming my recollection of a thirty year old visit. I wonder if that pleasant little town has changed much? We enjoyed very
much the the people, the town square, and the cool evening climate.
Motoged, if you ever wind up there, I'll bet you buy something! The craftsman that built my wife's twelve string noticed our Alaska plates, and then
showed me several chunks of wood he had curing. It was Sitka Spruce that he imported from Alaska for the strength and sound quality.
Sorry for the hijack!

Not a hijack (like the temporary diversions above)....
I went past Paracho, Michoacán a few years ago on a moto trip.....and was aware of the town's fame (beautiful area between Patzcuaro and
Mazamitla)....somehow got on a bypass road and missed the shops.
Such foreign made guitars (small outfits)sometimes make the best....and sometimes not....sorry I missed a walkabout in that town.
All my electrics are Chinese and Korean made....I am fully aware of how some folks look down their nose at these, but some others can recognize a good
instrument when they play it. Some that I have collected are good, and a few are stellar (Hagstrom Swede Ultra Lux and DeArmond M72 Bluesbird are
certainly worth their $350) .....Fender or Gibson USA made equal models would be 3-4 times that price....and may not always be of equal
quality.....and my playing ability enjoys messing around with 6 different instruments as each brings out certain music and inspiration....for me it's
all about the fun.
Don't believe everything you think....

somehow my son ended up with a Fender twin studio amp for free, but it was made during the time CBS owned it (says so on the label). So not
tubular....still is a nice amp.

I've been avidly playing acoustic guitar for about 35 years. All mine are too nice to take down to Baja. So I bought a Go-Guitar, which is a travel
guitar. In my opinion, all travel guitars sound marginal because the boxes are so small. But I can deal with that as long as the neck is similar to
a "real" guitar. When I'm away from home, I need to keep my hands and fingers in playing shape. The Go-Guitar has a very normal neck. That's the
main reason I went with that brand. I've spent many evenings on my solo trips sitting in my beach chair at the campfire playing this little thing.
It's a perfect fit for me.
I went with the Go Grande Walnut.

An article about Paracho
I know it isn't Baja, but it is about guitars!
http://www.mexicofile.com/parachoguitars.htm
For what it is worth, this was the highest pass we drove through traveling from Zihuatanejo to Anchorage.

Thanks some interesting things about guitars ... makers and care .. which is usually an area of discussion
Here's one that the owner just played ... and all other concerns were apparently of low importance
Of note, it doesn't have a sixth string ... a clue to the original owner/player
Thanks to all ... appears there are more than a few ... that like to "pick" ... which is good IMO

For those of us who love to do Mariachi, one of the best producers of Mariachi Style guitars is in Tijuana, Guitars Sevillano which is on the main
street south of Tijuana proper at #3415 Blvd. Cuahntemoc Sur. He also makes really wonderful Vihuelas (5 string mariachi guitar) and Guitarons ( the
big six string base)

Keith Richard's ...
And some very good finds on local stuff ...
How's that Mustang II ...
This is a pretty interest approach in design, for a guitar amp ...
they also make a "head" too .. 40 watt and 100 watt

WG,
I got the Mustang II for a "travel amp".....enough juice for jamming or playing on the street for tacos  As a modelling amp, it has a ton of preset options....that can be used after a two year training program with NASA
 (I am new to amps and stupid with "presettings"....it has a range of
sounds without pedals....lots to learn...and fun to mix up the presets for a wide range of sounds.....I am not thinking I want to get into a bunch of
pedals for creating sounds as it becomes an electrician/sound engineer's game....
It is smaller and lighter than my first used amp, a Roland VGA3....which is a modelling amp with lots of presets 50 W w/ 1-12.....still have it as a
back-up....
I just sprung for a tube amp and was going to get a Fender Blues Junior when the guy at the shop convinced me the Traynor YGL1 had better tone....no
fancy gizmos but reverb (3 amp presets)....made in Canada and track-proven....
Don't believe everything you think....

A few years back the lead guitarist for Rod Stewart was passing through Mulege and stayed at the Serenidad. He and another guy he was with put on an
little jam session by the pool and really rocked the place. Especially when he played "Hot Legs". Little different than the Mariachi's. It was during
the week and the crowd was pretty small. I can't remember his name.
