Has anyone played or had a Supro Amulet ?

Grant Green, What is This Thing

Rare "L5"

Why? Epi was using that headstock long before Gibson bought them. My 1950 Devon has it. It’s a historically correct Epi headstock.

Anyone handled the new Epis?

This still available?

1992 Gibson Johnny Smith Guitar

Oh My God Danny. That's amazing.

Rare "L5"

I don’t busk but I did play outdoors in the park with friends during the pandemic. This was the power solution I used. Plenty of battery life for multiple sets (powering two amps).

Busking with TOOB?

Not ALL of them. Maybe none of your favorites, maybe one or two. But a surprising number of excellent ones who perform in a variety of styles. Handy set of references.

"Why Do The World's Best Guitarists Play On the Round Corner?"

Bro, I dont think you have one of these.. Just sayin.. Here is the trick. Throw all your pots and pans in the garbage, or donate them.. Replace them with Le Creuset's. Even I couldnt hit somebody...

Rare "L5"

Great study group. I appreciate all the discussions here around DL. Cool. The fingering on m5 makes me always thinking about how to move on after the Bb (beat2) on the e-string. Move to the right...

Do those strings have an unwound third? That could be a problem with a wooden saddle made for a wound third set.

Ibanez archtop with 0.010 Thomastik strings and rosewood bridge intonation issues

So this is the ungainly solution I have been using – weighing in at almost 9 lbs. But no grounding issue – when not played, the guitar is as quiet as can be, whether my hand is on the strings or not.

Busking with TOOB?

I bought a 2011 175 new and it had the laminated fretboard. The fretboard was so stiff that the trussrod didn’t work. It also didn’t even look like rosewood. It was made shortly after the wood...

2012 Gibson ES-175 thoughts

Hello Chris 32895, Just like your Ibanez, my 175 showed herself as another instrument as soon as I put Thomastik-Infeld JS112's on. From then on, the archtop magic was full on. I'll never go back to...

Gibson ES-175 - Suddenly an open airy tone

I learned 5 positions, might as well use them. It keeps the 4 bars interesting over the week trying to get a few places. I moved Billies Bounce down an octave last night with relative ease, one...

The Blues Jr. sounds better than a quilter to me, but at a bar with people talking and drums playing, you can't tell. At the end of the night, the Jr. is just heavier and more fragile. The cable...

Has anyone played or had a Supro Amulet ?

Dear Zigracer, Yes I had the bridge removed a little bit towards the tailpiece and then had to adjust a few individual strings. And all of a sudden I had a new guitar.

Gibson ES-175 - Suddenly an open airy tone

Get the Jensen blackbird 40. I don’t see a reason to use a 10” neo speaker when it weighs the same as a small ceramic or alnico magnet (plus or minus half a pound). The Jensen blackbird is a great...
