The last record of changed strings for the Galaxy Guitar is lost to ancient Greek history but it is now done. There was one tiny problem for changing the strings all that time: the guy who worked on the guitar in Pyrgos put the plate for the rear access panel onto the guitar backwards so there was no way to extract the strings. It's not a hard thing to fix but I didn't have the teeny tiny screwdriver I needed to get the thing off until now. The strings are stretching so just now they're whining like a bunch of Texans on shower day but that will settle down quickly.
There's a shortage of power points so I can't get everything access to power. That will take some fiddling but I think it can be worked out enough to hold until I get can get a power strip.
The strangest thing is getting used to playing through speakers again. Putting all the knobs on ten is a bit unusual just yet but I'm sure it will come. The object in doing that isn't to get brutal as you have to be incredibly gentle with the guitar when it's cranked that hard or it will sound like a cat being run over by a lawnmower.
Definite progress now. It's not complete but the annoying mechanical aspects are all mostly done. Now for tinkering and knob twiddling, neither of which are particularly interesting reading material but they do yield cool sounds.
I'm shooting for Thursday and we will update the calendar by, I guess, Tuesday evening if it's happening. The time-consuming aspect is getting the looper and the drum machine all set up in a cool way. The DR880 is highly-programmable which means hours of time suck so we shall see.
