With reference to the arch, I recall my Elitist Broadway had a slightly more pronounced arch, and more pronounced recurve, and over all a more beautiful (to me) curve, than even my L5ces did. It was...

Epiphone Reissues the Zephyr Deluxe Regent

I've learned that the position is named after where the index finger is placed. Looks like that there are also other definitions on the start.

I play with the neck angled up fairly high (45 degrees, or maybe a bit more). I don't find that the strap button position makes any difference at all in terms of playing comfort or suitability for...

Installing a strap button (where and which) on an Eastman 910ce-bd-tc

I'm a little confused by this thread. Last year a 90s Gibson Le Grand went unsold at a $7-8k list on this forum for several months. What's special (other than the name) in this JS to command such a...

Is the Bud 6 Really That Good?

With the 5 fret grip, you can play a scale from the first to 12 frets with 4 positions. "you’d still get different fingerings every time you move up a fret" Not many, much fewer fingerings than...

Thats basically what I use too. Theres a sixth scale position I like too, but beyond that it’s a bit much

Bebop heads: Donna Lee

There's other seven positions, or one position (the whole neck), or any number in between. Or maybe more positions if we do the one octave thing. The more ways you have of doing things, the...
