Well, general rules apply, usually. And then there are the exceptions. I bought a Danelectro 7 string guitar. You'd think that the p/ups they used on this model would accommodate 7 strings,...

Parker's bridges are generally hollow. He removes most of the wood inside it to make it as light as possible, since he thinks heavy bridges affect vibration. A bridge that high that he made would...

Nylon Strung Ken Parker - could interest some

That's why I'm saying I don't really think it's voodoo - meaning some weird fault in the pup itself. Pups don't disfavor certain strings, it's only the distance from the string to pole, and the mass...

My concern is the 400 is a Norlin era model and has been stamped “2nd”… this could be my forever guitar but in the case of trade options or sale there might be a depreciation. Lovely guitar in all...

In appearance there was no change but as both pups don't have pole screws I suppose the slugs could generally be deeper into the AZ cover but that would affect all strings.

That's funny. I bought a 2006 AF86 in January (it's a predecessor of your AF95) that still had the foam strip under the bridge! As noted in this thread it was in serious need of a proper setup but...

Did Joe Pass NOT care much for his Ibanez JP20??

The Super 400 CES is just marvellous- I would urge you to play one if you get the chance. Magisterial and utterly accomplished. Effortlessly great. For me, the trick is to play it...

I like the sound of the tweeter in my Genzler, but I do turn it down 15% when playing a Heritage Mimi Fox through it. With my Acoustic guitar, though, I level it out. BTW, I generally lurk in the...

Archtop with tweeter - yay or nay?

All I did with this guitar was lower the neck pickup a bit and tune the strings down a step to make it easier for me to play. Other than that I haven't even taken the tags off or removed the little...

Blessed. Mr.Campellone placed me on his list today. I have wanted a Campellone Deluxe since the mid-late 1990’s. HooRahh.
