What I wanted cost three or four grand. What I can afford costs three of four hundred.
Tuned to E at the moment. Some not too difficult slide stuff to do in that tuning plus some not so hard things to play stuff in the open position.
Something to take my mind off not being able to eat solid food. Also distracting me from being irritated about the $50 GFI plug I had to replace...lol Lowes had two left in stock.
The supply of goods and services is becoming a serious issue here in Miami, especially medical supplies.

“Amazing! I’ll be working with Jaco Pastorius, Charlie Parker, Art Tatum, and Buddy Rich, and you’re telling me it’s not that great of a gig? “Well…” Saint Peter, hesitated, “God’s got this girlfriend who thinks she can sing…”
Not to worry Eddie, you got way cooler-looking guitars than I do anyway. It is very loud. Not really a good thing here in my house. My wife is not very amused at me learning slide guitar.

Hey Planobilly, that looks a really nice instrument. If you are anything like me you'll be spend hours playing it look at ways to set it for yourself. I bought a couple of new guitars but yours looks classier.
I recently bought a couple of guitars but being the age I am did not want to spend too much after all I still use my old Tele. The old tele and a Maton CW80 (an acoustic) I bought over 50 years ago. The Maton is getting a bit past it but the Tele is simply brilliant.
To substitute for the Maton I purchased an Ovation 1778TX-5 which has a neck that plays more like an electric guitar. It plays really easy and sounds ok as an acoustic but is brilliant plugged in or to record with.
I wanted a tremolo to play around with I did not want to spend too much but I wanted something usable. After some looking on YouTube I came across the Yamaha Pacifica 612. This guitar has fairly high end hardware. SeymourDuncan Pickups, GraphTec Nut, Grover Locking Tuners and Wilkinson Trem. With those features it seems a good buy. Spent a week or so getting it together. Last Tuesday had it how I wanted it sounds really good and was going to actually use it in a gig next week.
Then last Wednesday night came the stopper I had a heart attack so no gig this month. Just as the restrictions eased again I'm out of commission.

Jeezs Tony, sorry to hear about the heart attack. I guess there are a lot of us here who are getting older and should expect some health issues. But it always comes as a shock. Here's hoping you recover soon.
Cool looking guitars. I also did not want to spend a bunch of money on new stuff I am not sure I will continue on with. I have a fabulous electric guitar, a Tom Anderson. I got this new stuff just to pass the time while I recover.
I am sort of stuck here at home. Not much in the music world has opened up here. Then this cancer thing happened and added insult to injury...lol
Some old Indian said " we will endeavor to persevere" I guess that's just what we have to do...lol
Cheers,

Hopefully playing with your new toy will keep you mellow!
Thanks, I'll be OK. Just need some time. To mean to die...old Texas cowpoke...lol
Still got dreams of playing on Austin City Limits. I am sure I will need to learn some new stuff...lol

I am very lucky. Where I live on the Gold Coast, Queensland, Australia we have truly excellent facilities and brilliant paramedics. From the time the ambulance was called to the time the blockage was removed it was all less than a few hours. I’m told I had a major issue (a STEMI) but I struggle to feel any issues now but must not overdo it for a few weeks.
My advice is “listen to the wife when she tells you “it is not just indigestion get the ambulance””
Keep well all.
Thanks Tony

Better get this back onto new guitars rather than health. It is exciting to get a new instrument. Often they can seem expensive but if one works out the hours of joy then at an hourly rate it soon works out pretty good. If you spend a $1000 on a new guitar then spend 100 hours over the next few weeks playing, adjusting and admiring your new instrument it works out cheap (only $10 per hour) in terms of entertainment.
Enjoy Billy
Just some thoughts

ONLY a musician leads with his new guitars and ends with "Oh yeah. And I had a heart attack."
Do what they say and get well soon. I have a Pacifica in blue to match my Telecaster and for the cost, as you said, the hardware is surprisingly advanced. Very good tuners, and the pickups are top notch.
There are several of us having to deal with health issues as of late. Been thinking about Keith also.
Everyone should buy all the music stuff they want and can afford. Life is short.

Took a while to realise I needed to set up a SKI Account and not feel guilty about spending money I earned. (SKI = Spend the Kids Inheritance) I won’t enjoy the spending when I’m gone. Having a little extra by not spending due to restricted life lately and the realisation it is mine to spend, getting bits of gear I want makes me feel better.

Abso-frickin'-lutey bro! I have always, and will always, think that worrying about being the richest corpse in the graveyard is extremely stupid.
That being said, I get the concept of being concerned about a medical emergency that is not covered by insurance and the potential for that wiping out a bank account. However, being a disabled veteran I have the VA for my medical care. Most recent was removal of cataracts from both eyes, 4 weeks apart, which resulted in my no longer needing glasses. I also get shots in my eyeballs every 12 weeks to try and slow the diabetic retinopathy down, and those would cost $5000 per visit. If I had to pay that out of pocket, I just couldn't get them.
So my situation is not like everyone else's. Particularly those who pay 100% of their own medical insurance. I'd still be working if not for the blessing that is the VA.
As far as the kids inheritance, I figure that by the time I die my kids will be 50. If they are not established in their own life by then it is not my problem.
When my father died I was just short of 40. I went to see my mother soon after and sat her down and had a chat about this topic. I told her that this was HER time to finally do whatever she wanted without a grouchy old man making her life miserable (yeah, it runs in the Y chromosome side of the family). That the guilt trips were over, and if she felt like going to Vegas 3 times a year and Atlantic City as often as she cared that she should NOT be concerned about things like leaving the 2 of us money when she went to meet dad. And she did exactly that! She lived until she passed at 79 on HER terms, and was on about the 3rd trip through her bucket list when she passed. And THAT is why I have all these guitars I barely play and am rebuilding my studio with racks of synth modules and such. Once I am gone, I have designated specific things to go to specific people, and the rest can be sold at an estate sale and any profits are to be donated to the animal shelters that my last 4 dogs came from.
In my case my children were never a part of my life, as I divorced their mother when they were very young. Thus there is a line in my will that specifies "2 children (and their names) have been intentionally excluded from this document." SKI baby!!!
It is mine to spend, getting bits of gear I want makes me feel better.

Hi Eddie,
As far as medical insurance we here in Australia and particularly on the Gold Coast Queensland are very fortunate and have truly great Public Hospitals which are generally free particularly for pensioners.
Whilst I have Private Insurance and said to the Paramedics you can take me to a Private Hospital they made a call and said it would take too long to be admitted in Private and I’d be better off in the Gold Coast University Hospital (a Public Hospital) where there was a team of heart specialist waiting for my arrival. (It blew me away how ready and efficient they were.) The cost for the treatment was exactly $0.00 due to the healthcare (Medicare) system we are very fortunate to have in Australia.
The hospital did ask if they could get some recompense from my private insurance to which I agreed but that was not mandatory. I see some see this as Socialism in the USA but in general we see as looking after all. We are far from a socialist country but in an emergency everyone deserves to be safe IMHO. It is important that people can get the health care they truly need even if they cannot afford it.
Why have private insurance in Australia? One can avoid waiting lists for non urgent needs (say a hip replacement) and pick your own doctors etc. Also if you are over a certain salary there are tax advantages to Private Insurance.
As far as the Kids Inheritance my daughter can buy and sell me similarly my wife’s siblings. They are all well off and in really good jobs. They don’t need my money.

My Brother-in-law is a world-famous doctor among other doctors and chose to practice in Brisbane instead of the USA. He said that he could make more money in the USA, but he could heal people better in Australia. In the US, it's more about treating them because that's more profitable.
He's lectured other doctors in the US, Canada, South America, Europe, Africa, Asia, and has over 100 papers published in peer-reviewed journals. He and a Russian doctor developed a way to extend the legs of birth deformed children, they decided not to patent it, and it has become the standard way of doing it all over the world.
You folks in OZ are lucky to have a better medical system than we do.
On the other hand, I spent 5 weeks in OZ in a camper van, from Brisbane to Cape Trib, over to Darwin, down the Stuart Hwy to Kangaroo Island and then eventually to Sydney. You may have better medical care, but we have a larger variety of guitars in the stores
So Eddie, you might want to leave some guitars to Tony.

Notes
Actually I’m pretty right for guitars. I have all I can fit in my unit and left a couple with my daughter. I left a Rickenbacker 12 string electric, a Fender Precision Bass and a banjo with my daughter. I have the olde Maton CW80 and Fender Telecaster that I’ve had with me for over 50 years. I recently purchased an Ovation TX-5 and a Yamaha Pacifica 612 both of which are fairly useful guitars.
