New guy from Seattle

Post by enricosonic » Wed Jan 10, 2018 5:09 pm

Hey all, I'm amongst some new PNW members it seems. Specifically I'm from West Seattle.

I'm 52 and have been playing most my life, banging around and experimenting with my grandfather's '60 Guild T-100 in my pre-teen years until I got my own cheesy Sears & Roebuck acoustic (which was a crap sandwich that held me back yet made my fingers stronger) but that's another story. Many, many guitars have passed through my ownership since, as I've always been obsessed with the guitar.

Just sold a black sparkle Yamaha SGV 800 to a Dr. Who fan for anyone who knows that connection, and have owned many offset oddities but the reason I joined is I recently obtained my very first Jaguar. Specifically a Marr signature model. I'm a little underwhelmed by it (though it is lovely to behold) and I'll need help sorting some things, but I remain optimistic.

Thanks for having me!

Welcome from another Seattleite. Your handle sounds familiar. From AK maybe?

Lots of smart people here. There's a big ol' thread on the Marrguar in New & Reissue.

Welcome!
West Seattle is different by the day...

Marr jags pop up now and then at Thunder Road Guitars, and they usually have a ton of cool stuff otherwise.

AK indeed, mm. I remember now you being a guitarist... cycling fan too.

Looking forward to learning how to get the most out of this Jag.
