A friend of mine, Buck Wilkerson, with whom I used to play frequently, died two years ago. His widow contacted me recently to see if I could help her...
There're lots of videos on YouTube about people having their guitars plek'd but none of them are archtops that I've seen. Just wondering if anybody's...
I did a comparison video of a dearmond 1100 reissue and the dearmond 1100 original pickup. First of all this was pain in the ass in youtube and I am...
Always been a big Ben Webster fan - love his tone; I wonder who would be an equivalent player in the guitar world? Wes on "One For My Baby" would be...
Hey, looking for a 17” archtop with preferably a single humbucker pickup in the $1000-2500 range. I know it could be a tough price range to find one...
One of the greats along with Sal Salvador, Tony Mattola, and Herb Ellis who could play anything and made their livings in the LA studio scene. I came...
Hi,
I've had my full TF subscription for probably as long as TF existed, and recently 2 fantastic jazz comping courses came out that some of you may...
Just saw this morning that German Vintage Guitar (german-vintage-guitar.com) are going to close shop. Sad, they were doing interesting and good work...
Has anyone else noticed that all the manufacturers seem to be discontinuing their 10 inch neo guitar speakers and the price for the remainder of the...
Took the electronics out of the 89 Emperor only to discover that this underwound 57 Classic has bridge pickup pole spacing (the SKU from Sam Ash has...
Sorry to hear that. I love vintage German acoustic guitars. In fact, the archtop I own is a 1959 Rodebald Hoyer “Samba” 17” acoustic archtop made in...
Our first as a trio is May 10. We will mix it up pretty good, jazz standards with vox, some old school R&B, classic country; a few instrumentals. The...
I own two guitars. A Mule steel tricone and 1959 Rodebald Hoyer “Samba” acoustic archtop. These are the two best playing and sounding guitars I have...
I use my acoustic Mule steel tricone for everything I play, including jazz. A nice sounding acoustic tricone is hard to beat the sound of to my ears....
A rough estimate on the guitars results in about 100, I still have 10 of them. I am not so sure about the amps. I guess about 20-30 and still have 2....
I wouldn't assume am unlevel board is reason the refret job turned out badly, and I definitely wouldn't assume a Plek machine is necessary to check a...
What is the serial number I can tell if it was the last one made. Based on the bone overlay for the saddle I can tell you this was one of the last 5...
Sounds and looks real good! I'm surprised at how good Eastman has gotten with the binding and purfling work. I own one of their small-body, flat top...
Hello. I started playing in the year 1985. After 39 yrs of playing, I have owned 23 guitars, 4 amps, and 1 stand alone reverb. I always traded up in...
Both sound different, therefore I use both, adjusting as I go. There's no point in restricting yourself to one sound. It's nice to play, for example,...
I thought it was time for (yet) another attempt at trying to extract the magic from this book. (Yet) again, I've gone back to the beginning. This is...
This video (starting at 7:40) discusses somewhat what I'm trying to figure out, though I want to learn more about it in a more formal (music theory)...
I'm concerned that the guy that refretted it did not plane the fingerboard properly. At maximum guitar they said the Plek will tell them if this is a...
