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), for some reason, I've had it in my mind...

Giving the Loar some love - new saddle

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...

65 Fender Princeton Reverb vs Vox AC15C1?

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.

65 Fender Princeton Reverb vs Vox AC15C1?

News to me, that's how I always set my Princeton. Both barely cracked open.

65 Fender Princeton Reverb vs Vox AC15C1?

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...

Playing live and getting the best sound from the guitar

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...

Sadowsky SS15 or Jimmy Bruno

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...

Cantalope Island 1996 Gibson L4CES vs 2016 Yamaha SA2200, which do you like?

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.

Cantalope Island 1996 Gibson L4CES vs 2016 Yamaha SA2200, which do you like?

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.

Fender amps don’t have 0.5 guys.

65 Fender Princeton Reverb vs Vox AC15C1?

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...

Koch Little Gristle - Killer amp for intensive daily use in (and out) of jazz

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!

Well, I'm not so sure that even the heaviest of jazz guitar players and composers really "recognise" every tone in a chord. At least that I ever played with. They've just got a lot of experience...
