I have a Ruck 2010 classical with a sound port. Ruck provided wooden plugs so you can plug the hole and tell the difference. There is a huge difference in the sound you're hearing as a player. ...

Sound ports?

My opinion: Hideous affectation. Never.

Sound ports?

This isn’t what you asked, but I’ve had an AR810CE for 17 years and I never put a strap button on it. I thought about it many times but it’s never been a priority. Wes Montgomery, Grant Green, Barney...

Installing a strap button (where and which) on an Eastman 910ce-bd-tc

On a daily basis I’m often switching from classical/flamenco necks with wide FB’s to my Tele, with a moderately full C, to the full D of my Martin, to my archtops which have a moderate D. Plus, the...

Neck sizes and shapes

I always care about neck shape and size being somewhat ambidextrous,and writing with my left hand. Playing a right handed I’m sensitive to the feel, and having a large enough shape to feel...

I've only played with an organist about twice, and long ago. Just hit me that you guys were tweaking all those switches and stops long before us guys had all the dang stomp boxes!

A functional-harmony perspective might name the note according to how it resolves: #11 resolves up, b5 resolves down. Of course this won't apply in all situations. Case in point: jazz uses a lot...

So true about first fret. Knowing that just helps us gauge how much taper. My Lehmann is only about 1/32 thicker at 9 than the Borys. But it only tapers about 1/32 down to fret 1 and feels much much...

I wonder if one of Vintagevibe's humbuckers would fit next to the neck?

Piano is going very well. I'll do a piano tune in the next standards thread next week. I tried to quit Hammond but everyone got mad at me and told me not to, so I'm not. So I'm going to keep at it...
