I meant no harm or competition about "who invented" the solid body. Just pointing to the fact that Paul Bigsby led the way in America, not Fender or Gibson. I respect all the different luthiers from...
I was addressing the OP. I have no disagreement with what you posted. But if an individual string is so far out that it needs that much compensation, something is wrong. The easiest thing to try...
It'd be really interesting to see and hear a proper, in-depth comparison of a number of famous US-made archtops with their counterparts from the golden age of German archtop lutherie. IMHO that would...
I put it on when I went to bed last night, but I fell asleep. Have to try again. What I did hear of it, very interesting. I feel like people with either love to hate this one...
Yeah, it was decided that 13 and 14 were part of the line started prior. I like it nice and slow too. Things get too fast and they sound spastic to me.
Hi All, posting here for my forum friends. Have an excellent 16-B for sale. Recently got into a vintage Fratello and just don’t need both in the stable. Happy to tend offers from those on...

Of course, and it wasn't my intention to contradict you on this. But the OP only mentions a slight intonation problem at the 12th fret on the lower strings, nothing that makes me think of a problem...
I wouldn't have made these changes, but I have seen similar ones made by a competent luthier. Pete Moreno put a mounted pickup in a gorgeous Heritage that was x-braced. He was able to shim a small...
You are welcome, Hammertone! Ploughing through a dissertation is certainly something for a rainy weekend or two. Btw., as an owner of NOS "Roger electric 54" parts you could start to assemble some...
Once I wrote the melody of Bluesette out in a few ways, just for fun: bluesette_intervallides_ja_akordides.mscz - Google Drive It's a Musescore file. Sounds weird occasionally and can't...
Yes, Paul Bigsby is one of the pioneers of the solid body guitar and certainly George Beauchamp and a few more names. For me, it's not primarily about the competitive idea of who was really the...

His new album Orchestras has just been released on Blue Note. The closest thing to a concerto for electric guitar. Gesendet von iPhone mit Tapatalk
