This is going to be an amazing project.
The only reason to be a label on something is to assist in the selling of said something. E.g. in the old days, where to find it at a record store, or now using a search engine.
In 2023, I had the opportunity to A/B test a Sadowsky Frank Vignola side-by-side with an Eastman Romeo. I have been very happy with the Romeo since I bought one new in 2020. By way of comparison,...
I leave it off on my Blu when playing an archtop. But it’s great for chimey Dumble-like tone with a ZenDrive or similar effect, especially with a solid body or thin semi.
I have decided to commission a guitar with Allen Park, Michigan luthier Gary Zimnicki. It's All in the Details - Zimnicki Guitars Gary builds archtop, flattop, Gypsy, nylon string guitars as...

Joe's carved D'Aquisto was sold to a rich collector pay for medical bills after his cancer Diagnosis. Joe's plywood D'Aquisto was in the possession of Joe Jr. when I talked to him 20 years ago. It...
Yes, that was interesting, I hadn't heard of him, which is unusual. He's an associate professor at Berklee, you know :smile-new:
The story of my 175 will haunt me to the grave. I got my first guitar (a United Elitone flattop for $10 new) at 9. By the time I was 11, I’d gotten good enough to justify a better guitar, and my...
All art will always change. Notwithstanding that, there's no harm in remembering, appreciating, acknowledging and enjoying great periods of art from the past. As has been said: "It's about preserving...
