| My Second Best Guitar
I bought a killer new guitar found on the internet
I think it sounds amazing but I havent got it yet
I got it off of Hamerhead who bought it off of Poe
Who thinks it was from ebay but he doesnt really know
Its showing up on Thursday and its gonna be a star
I know it is by far my second best guitar
I tried some overwound Fralins that made it sound too bright
And dropped in a new floating bridge but it just wasnt right
til I swapped the saddle pieces made of real synthetic bone
And now Ive got that classic woman tone
Now Im really digging on my custom hand made axe
In mint like new condition if you overlook the cracks
I think Ive nearly got it right and though it looks bizarre
I know it is by far my second best guitar
What a drag when your gear just cannot muster up the tone
Thats bad down to the bone
Thats the one I want to own!
Well Im trying to sound like Jimi but Im hearing more Joan Jett
Its gotta be the frets
cause I havent changed them yet
Now I have perfected it and righted all the wrongs
I thought I might sit down a bit and learn to play some songs
But first Ill swap the tuners out and loosen up the bar
I know it is by far my second best guitar
