Thanks! Chuck truly is a master. And yes, I forgot to mention that this guitar has all the upgrades, including diamond abalone inlays, carved ebony tailpiece, gold hardware. Well over $1000 in...
The ‘50 year old Gruhn guitar catalog’ and a few other posts got me wondering about what the future of vintage guitars might look like. Reading that list had me thinking “what guitars would be on my...
I tried a set of round 12s once. They felt a bit stiffer than TI of the same gauge, and a subtle sort of "rough" feel, including a bit of grinding feel on my pick. Similar to half rounds or ground...
Just an FYI - "Reg's" fingerings are a subset of the 12 Leavitt fingerings. 6-7 of them, as I recall. They involve stretches, and to cover 12 frets they also require shifts. Even playing all...
Steve is a REALLY nice guy. Cool workshop too. And his guitars... if I had the money, I'd buy one in a heartbeat. My mentor still plays his Prototype model. It is LOUD and CLEAR in person....

Having Steve's blessing would certainly give me the warm and fuzzy! I had a Bambino, and it was a nice guitar, and this is a trade I would have made. A friend of mine does have a Little Archie...
I'd be curious as to how you arrived at this or whether you remember . Did you learn major scales in five positions up-and-down the fretboard? In mapping out non-scale tones, Did you view...
Graham, Not only nice lines, but you made that melody SING SING SING. I have been really focusing on cutting off my notes at the right time--ending with that beBOP. I have to also pay...
The idea is to have a method for beginners to use in arriving at the kind understanding that YOU already have ...but much earlier than that they would by simply "playing a lot". I don't see that...
