That has to be it. The whole guitar is a resonant circuit that feeds the sound through the strings into the pickups, and probably some directly into...
You’re in Sac?! I’m from there. Left in ‘73 for the service, returned in ‘78 after stops in Hawaii and Philly, compliments of Uncle Sam, returned for...
I have the G100-210 (I'd thought mistakenly it was a 212) and it is a super sounding amp. But it is HEAVY. So heavy that it's almost not worth using....
Double thanks. You got me looking at the Tech 21. Im s big fan of them starting with their original rack Sans Amp in the 90’s and the PS2 pedal a few...
There is a potential way to fix the sagging. Not complicated and possibly easy given you can get under the top to work with the pickup cavities open....
I've written a lot about the pitfalls of vintage instruments. I bought this '63 Gibson Barney Kessel last year and the pickups (billed as originals)...
Okay… I admit I’m an old man and a purist, but, in my opinion, a telecaster isn’t a telecaster without single coil pickups. It may LOOK like a tele,...
I took this last night for a funk gig. And have also played it for jazz. Absolutely killer. The neck pickup is all mid push, the bridge pickup is all...
All the written specs I've ever seen for both say the depth is 3-3/8", but I've read/heard anecdotally that they're not 100% consistent and some are...
I asked a luthier at an acoustic guitar manufacture where they build various models and use many different kinds of wood. She confirms that the wood...
Actually, I quite like that! You'd certainly get some vocabulary from it. Maybe not the theory behind it, though, and it's not that cheap either. But...
Even today, there are some that believe that one should tune to A=442 or even worse. Horn players and even some conductors. They say that prior to a...
I have been a huge fan of Joshua Breakstone for many years. He is also a very nice guy. He's on Facebook and if you message him he'll reply and chat...
I think language acquisition, fluency, vocabulary etc are just the beginning of the story. It's true that casual speaking is similar to improvisation...
The DGTs are special guitars. The finish on that one is insane. I have to tell you, I have never been a fan of the splits tho, and I don't find them...
Those old recordings are analog recordings, any difference in recording and playback spinning rate will introduce detune.
Try tuning your instrument...
Terrible story, but one worth telling to get the balance of reality for prospective buyers! It is just a shame that you had to go through the process...
With the coils split on the neck pickup with the tone rolled back she's Magic for jazz. Rosewood necks have a delightful chime that really makes it a...
