Comins GCS-1 Vintage Natural $1,549!

None of the $20,000+ solid body guitars on Reverb appear to be attracting that "one buyer." I suspect the pool of potential buyers is very small and growing smaller every day. If you're wealthy,...

This appears to be a fake: 1968 was the first year that Fender made the Thinline Telecaster, however the serial number on this guitar indicates it was manufactured in 1969. What's more, there is no...

Reverb Fraud

Looking at the original photographs there is a crack the extends the full width and external depth of the heel. It also appears to extend an inch or more up both sides of the neck-body joint as...

You charge $125 for what amounts to about ten or fifteen minutes of work?

Eliminating the Metronome for technical studies?

How does that work ? The TP's contact to the guitar is the same presumably the mass of the TP has increased ..... I don't understand this at all

Victor Baker 17" from 2008..........

If I understand this, it looks like the 4th fret on the high e string makes the 30th note, but that G# note isn't repeated for the trip down, so the low E note makes the 59th note which isn't...

Eliminating the Metronome for technical studies?

I came from the 335 camp (semihollow with humbuckers). My inclination towards a 335 was due to the early 70s sound from Larry Carlton.... nice warm jazzy clean tones and smooth organic breakup when...

Telecaster - Single Coil or Humbucker?

I guess it's true that I could think of C Ionian, E phrygian dominant, D melodic minor, D mixolydian, and so forth and wind up with the same notes. But, it seems so much simpler to think, C tonal...

Playing the changes vs. playing over the key center

The cigarette scorch marks on the headstock mark show where the top of the headstock is and show that the guitar was played left handed. I guess most jazzers do not do that: Putting a burning...

I've no idea what this thread's about. To me, all that matters is how it sounds and whether it works. There are lots of things that work beautifully but don't necessarily follow the 'rules', whatever...

Just a Gigolo C7 Bb7 A7

You got it bro! On the gig tonight I felt very cool, but I only used the metronome, not MuseScore. Speaking of Gatton, can we call him a jazz guitarist? I sent that Holiday Inn gig he had with the...

Eliminating the Metronome for technical studies?

I wouldn't be so sure. There was a time when Michael Stevens was one of the most respected builders on the planet. This guitar is from that era and it's being sold by someone who earned a lot of...
