Would you like to play with some musicians that love the music of Jerry Garcia?

We practice once a week and have tentative booking already. We do not plan on going on tour. just playing some more local clubs and festivals.

We are in the Queensbury/Saratoga/Lake George area. Tom plays a hammond and favors Melvin Seals. I play a custom Garcia rig. Jesse plays a Fender Jazz bass and can really groove.

More than anything else, we like to have fun and enjoy playing music - If you are interested, drop me a PM.

I'm a fan of that TP-6 style "fine-tuner" tailpiece. I used to have one on my Les Paul (I'm between Les Pauls at the moment).
Is yours a custom fit job?... or is that an available unit (link?).
Nice Axe!

It came with the guitar, but I have seen them for sale! Ill try to remember what kind it is and post a link later.

I seem to recall that 1980's Carvins used that tailpiece, as well. I have seen a few early 80's DC-150's. Are the fine tuners very useful or do you find that you ignore them and just use the main tuning pegs?

Its a Schaller. It works great and I do use the fine tuners as I have locking tuners in the headstock.

Know any drummers in upstate NY?

...Are the fine tuners very useful or do you find that you ignore them and just use the main tuning pegs?

I played a Les Paul with a TP-6 for 20 years or so, and the only time I ever touched the tuning pegs was to change strings.
I really loved having those fine tuners and miss them on my Strats, Tele, Carvin, and Schecter.

Move to Denver and look for a bass player, and I'll be there!
