A reasonably Quick Guitar Story [View all]

On the 29th, a former band drummer I know is having his every 3 year party.
He owned a heating/cooling contractor business, so he's got a huge polebarn on his one acre lot.
Guys I've known since the 70s are coming. Probably 25 of us. Drummers, bass players guitar players (and me, who can play whatever is needed).
Anyway, I have been playing acoustic guitar, almost exclusively, for 2 years. I figured I should shake off some electric rust by playing to simple backing tracks.
In the last 5 days, I've taken 3 of my electrics (out of 7) off the wall to play.
All three were still in tune! All 6 strings, in tune. After 2 years!
I was astonished.
