[Postcard2] RE: Haggard on Tour

[Rick Kelly]

interesting question....maybe it's weight?
i can't think of anything else that would be more difficult about playing an 
electric than an acoustic.

then again it's not like Hag plays a Les Paul some other huge, heavy brick 
of a guitar.....
Telecasters aren't THAT heavy, are they?
