Music that keeps the dust away

Published by neil under acoustic guitar, music on August 15, 2008

My mom has innovatively thought of keeping the dust away from my father’s guitars. At long last, I am saved of endlessly dusting them off. Seriously, I don’t clean them much really because the process is tiring and can be burdensome.

The cabinet is very well constructed and it beautifully displays axe awesomeness!

The great thing about it is it’s quite a view really and it would keep the dust at a minimal, which is really my problem for these babies. I only use 2 of the electrics, and 2 of the acoustics.

The guitar stand itself was designed by my father, constructed by my uncle, modified by a carpenter friend, re-modified yet again, and again, and again…

Some brief history of my too many guitar blues…

• I put them under my bed - my bed then had a lower bed so I covered it with blanket. Some 6 months later, the blanket was filled with dust, and so were my guitars.
• Had several guitar stands to accommodate all of them - occupied 1/4 of my room!
• Had the guitar stand (the same guitar stand inside this cabinet, only version 1) constructed and they were placed in our extension room - it gathered dust…lotsa dust!
• Guitar Stand version 2 - more compact, and the guitars were moved in the mini hallway beside my room
• Finally, the guitar cabinet

Of all the guitars here, I only claim 1 that I really own. That would be the Ibanez one which I got way back when I was in 4th year High School. It’s RG Series from Singapore and claims to be (based on the sticker) made in Japan. Features Floyd Rose bridge with a crappy clean tone! Give it some distortion though and it rocks!

Writing this surprises me.

Man, I miss UNEVEN. It was a dream band for me. I wish we’d taken off. We almost did. I don’t know what happened. No gigs. No hard feelings either. We just faded. Just like how many songs did.

Miss you guys and hope everyone is well.
