Pürbach 14 (Andy Bartosh)

Isn't that an ES135? I don't remember inlays on a 125; surely they have dot markers..? A quite rare guitar; a UK forum member I know had one a few years ago

1946-48 Gibson ES-125

Yes, this could be very true. I do know one or two other forum members who had issues with Guild JS guitars in particular the finish was heavy and suffocating the guitar's ability to respond. ...

I wish you the best. I broke my left (fret side) clavicle in April 2001 in a bike accident. There are still times when it feels uncomfortable, but mostly as a result of a poor sleeping position. ...

[QUOTE=lawson-stone;1343918]Thank You. The amp is mic'd with a Bluebird "Blue" microphone, and the direct is via a Bugera PS1 Power Soak. I send the audio inputs to an old PreSonus AudioBox iTwo to...

Time After Time - Jazz Ballads by Jeff Arnold - Tune #2

Actually remembering that aspect of Joe's style was what helped me get that last section of our tune. I was reading it correctly, but wasn't really playing it with the feel and authority needed, then...

haha, i know you love the quilter. I just can't bond with their amps for some reason. Some upper midrange and treble shrillness that can't be dialed out. I've tried. I've owned 4 or 5 of their amps....

I used to have the Katana 100 head a couple years back. Really impressive amp especially for the low cost. But to my ears my Quilter Aviator gen 1 combos and TB202 head have a more pleasing clean...

Yes, I suppose so too, and that would probably not be trivial at all seeing how thick wood glue usually is. In my case the gap was wide enough that I could just put a ribbon of glue along the gap and...

L-5 Repair by Mark Campellone

Definitely a relic of the 40's. Gibson's numbering scheme for this period was abysmal, but it's pretty obvious a very early model and typically the tuner buttons and pick guards have either rotted...

Hoping things get better for you soon. I have always appreciated your contributions here and am looking forward to more of it.

Nicely done! Good work! I like the sound of the recording over all. I hear some difference if I try to isolate each side but my hearing abilities are not that sophisticated. I would say that...

Box it as if you are shipping it and check it as baggage if you don't want to splurge for a tour-type travel case. At this point in my life I never rely on being able to carry on. Policies have...

Flying with guitar

I concur with this assessment. I don't change my strings often, and I have noticed no need to change them any more often with SS frets. And for anyone who bends, I can't imagine anyone would prefer...

Anything that speaks against stainless steel frets?

Playing the changes vs. playing over the key center

How do you understand the 5th and 6th bars of rhythm changes?
