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...
at the start it's a slow 6/4, definitely not 4/4. Which I tend to feel as a bar of 4/4 followed by a bar 2/4. The piano notes are felt as sixteenths....
It does, indeed, seem to be very impressive. It seems to be the only mic that does what it does – automatically sync the video and audio, without any...
They'll get set over time. No harm from just applying a little elbow (thumb) force. I have a little knurled tooth needle nose pliers that loves to do...
Guitarist I been working with for a while now has a semi hollow thinline L-5. It's definitely a custom made model. Has the master volume on the lower...
I would have counted everything up until 2:50 as 6/4, based on the phrasing of the melody. After that I get a bit confused as the melody is the same...
Probably not (unless he made one to fit the available space) but a Kent Armstrong single coil floater, floating CC from Pete or even a DeArmond 1100...
Shipping and a guitar to get it plected sounds crazy to me. You add the exposure of shipping damage to a job that can be done competently by someone...
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've gone through deep dives in music genres over the years, as a listener, and as a player (albeit a pretty crappy one) Change is in my DNA. Go hot...
