Avant-Garde Music and Art. Discussions?

Yes I don’t think it is well know. That Joe had two D’Aquisto’s. One was carved and he never took it out, the other was a laminate which he played from 76 to about 1980. I think I’ve figured out...

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

Well, yes really. The weasel word is ‘mostly’; in other words they all use their pinky :) From a practical point of view I find that CG technique allows access to the higher positions...

That's not an f hole, it's a c hole. :cool:

Frank Vignola's Guitar Night, an ongoing concert and livestream series

When I gigged with Raezer's Edge ER cabs I typically turned the tweeter control up about 1/4. This added balance to the sound and eliminated any vestigial boxiness. My AI cabs don't have continuous...

Archtop with tweeter - yay or nay?

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,...

Cure for a weak high E string?

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...

Cure for a weak high E string?

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...

Benedetto Bravo Deluxe or Gibson WesMo Crimson

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.

Cure for a weak high E string?

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...

I see. I meant the pup height.

Cure for a weak high E string?

Maybe the rules vary by country: in Canada certificates are only required for import or export. The permit is to be applied for by the Canadian exporter or importer respectively. Trade in...
