Interesting. The reason I ask is this bit of syntax:
There's a "to be" missing. I've seen it a lot over the years and eventually noticed that it's almost always coming from somebody located in Pennsylvania or Ohio. I guess maybe that quirk actually made it one state farther west than my initial observations led me to believe.
I'm 72 and older than that guitar. It's a beauty!Sweet! That baby is old, like 80+ years old
Lots of Hoosiers do that as well. They warsh clothes, too. Things need fixed.
Valparaiso. But i have been living in Florida for 42 years
Valpo's just up the road from here.
I don't know? I think it might be older than you. After research and others opinions I really think it's mid 1930's That would make it over 80+ years old
Yes the humidity is awful. But my whole family moved here so here I am.
We also drink pop up north. Down here it's Soda lol
Dang, you're old enough to be my Uncle
Uncle? Hell, I'm a grandpa!Dang, you're old enough to be my Uncle
I grew up in South Bend in the non-Hoosier part of the state. It's soda.
I do, gonna go hang with my 87 year old Dad tomorrow
Enjoy your time with him.I do, gonna go hang with my 87 year old Dad tomorrow
That’s exactly the phrase that I picked up on. When I’m not drooling over vintage guitars, I’m drooling over vintage wristwatches. Over and over I would see “this watch needs fixed” and it struck me as a very strange yet recurring turn of phrase. I thought I had it narrowed down to west PA and Ohio, but it seems I underestimated it’s reach (and being from Wisconsin, I know it must have stopped at either Illinois or Michigan). Anyway, sorry, have I deviated from the original topic?
Wisconsin? So you drank water from a bubbler?
rewired but it appears to be all there. I am positive it's the source of the black goop on the guitar.
That's a FHC pickup, I have three of them and they sound great. DeArmond's are famous for rotting wire, all mine needed replacement. The coil wire is tiny so I hope your eyesight is good when you're soldering. The black jumper wire outside the case is not stock, just solder the new ground inside the case. Actually that does look stock, is that a spring clip? yours looks a bit different from mine, that's a real old one.
