i still learn a new standard for 4-6 weeks and get it down thoughly - way to go i find. I dislike jams personally - i am a classical background and i like to know roughly what I will be playing. Mesa Boogie Lonestar makes killer jazz amp btw - dark and well balanced sound.
A device for measuring the gap of spark plugs works pretty well as a way to measure action height. They have a number of wires of varying diameters, around a circle. Not so great for measuring the...
Having read a lot about neck angle issues on Loar guitars prior to my getting the 700 and the fact there is very little scope to lower the bridge (on mine), I've had it in my mind, for some reason,...
I play fingerstyle acoustic archtop guitar. My instrument is a 17” solid carved top 1959 Rodebald Hoyer “Samba”. I use Martin Monel .012, .025w, .054w // 1st, 3rd, and 6th string. I like a flat board...

I’m just saying the minimum value on the knobs is 1. So I think you mean 1.5. I get what you’re saying though and I think it’s clear to the OP.
News to me, that's how I always set my Princeton. Both barely cracked open.
Hard to say what's going on, but I'd offer this. You mentioned tower speakers. Does this refer to a line array like the Bose L1? It should be possible to make an L1 or similar line array...
Thanks much. After a very long time without success, I found a 2002 Heritage H-575 with a floating p/u at a reasonable price. Just need to lower the action a little but it will fill the bill for a...
I put JS112 strings on an Ibanez AS200 once. It sounded great for jazz but I think it took the instrument outside it's design parameters. One thing I like about roundwound .010s on the yamaha is that...
The Epiphone Howard Roberts archtop was specified with a carved spruce top, oval soundhole, and a 25 1/2" scale length. It's possible that some made it out with 24 3/4" scale boards, but I'm more...
I like the Yamaha. I'd really like to hear it with the TI 12's. I suspect it might really shine.
Guitar, cable, amp. Done. I would suggest you get rid of that Fishman amp if you want breakup tone, instead of putting an overdrive ahead of it.
Here are a couple of things I tried this afternoon. 1. I actually could not identify the 12AX7 that came with the amp, though it definitely sounded good. The EL34 is a TAD Redbase, and it seems...
My action is certainly more than that, so if your action at the nut is OK to there doesn't seem to be much reason for a neck reset!
Playing live and getting the best sound from the...
