Sound ports?

I only had one that I forgot the name (some guy had gits made and imported them) of because I sent it back as it had many top cracks that the seller did not reveal. That said, despite the cracks...

Sound ports?

Since chords are derived from scales, the #11/b5 designation exists so that each letter of the musical alphabet is expressed only once in the chord scale. so a chord with a b5 can theoretically...

As bad as that break looks, I bet a good luthier can repair that so you'd never know it broke, and it would never break there again. It's pretty clean.

Shipping Catastrophe

Hello. Old thread I know, but the greatest blues music guitarist/singer/songwriter(imho) was never mentioned; the late Elmore James. All of his recordings are free on YouTube and he popularized many...

Yeah, it's not so much that I wouldn't want one, I just know if I were ever to buy a really nice hand built classical, it's probably not going to have a truss rod--traditional builders just don't use...

Comins GCS-1 Vintage Natural $1,549!

I have a Cordoba classical and I wish it had a truss rod. The new Cordoba Stage I bought DOES have a truss rod and I'm glad, I have already had to use it.

Is an Archtop Tribute AT101 model not the same (or pretty close to the same) as the ES-125C? Not quite the TDC but an option. There's a used one on Reverb right now, but the price is a little higher...

Looking for a "jazz box"

Hi, my guitar is a yamaha sa2200, and I'm happy. I would like to get a guitar more specific for classic jazz, with a very warm, soft tone. I thought about ibanez pm 200. What do you think? Am I at...

Ibanez pm200?

Joe Pass used the pointy end, but he got small picks and then BROKE them, and used the pointy half of the broken pick.

"Why Do The World's Best Guitarists Play On the Round Corner?"
