That’s right! He had 24 fret prototypes too that always throw me off. They always look shorter scale to me. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Yes, speaking for myself, I would consider getting a second LJ for louder gigs, unless it creates a transportation problem. Currently, I love the sound of the LJ with my (Princeton sized) Fat...
You're right, I was not all that fond of the arrangements in the book I mentioned, kind of stilted. Got a a couple of harmonic ideas from the book, that's about it. My copy says $14.95 on it, $25...
