I got Jake one of the better ones (I guess they're better or worse, depending on where they're made?). He's gone through phrases of liking his hollow body better, and for slide he likes the most beat up old acoustic he can find, but the strat has been a very good instrument, holds its own really well. You may think this is heresy, but he also has a really cool pedal so that he can create loops and play on top of them, which is really fun. I always encourage him to use his father's old fender tube amp, which has a lovely full sound. Speaking of sound, I must sound like an overbearing mother, but I'm actually very good at keeping my opinions low key and not interfering with his music -- worse thing a parent can do to a kid is stick his or her nose into his or her art. <br /><br />Retrieve the work on your fried computer soon, Tom! Good luck to you.Annandale Dream Gazettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08155953951163636760noreply@blogger.com
