I like this simple definition: the term avant-garde refers to innovative or experimental concepts or works, or the group of people producing them. That leaves lots of room for me to listen to...
Derek Bailey: "There was this shop on Charing Cross Road. I used to work there Saturdays; and if somebody bought a guitar, they got a lesson with me, free. Their first lesson, imagine that; what a...
Most Gibson archtops from this era have a fairly shallow neck angle and the bridges sit low. This guitar could most likely remain set up like this for a very long time without need of a neck reset. ...
I have two Twins. One with a K120/EV Force 12 combo. It's in the high 70's-low 80lbs range. When I had two JBL D's in there it was 86lbs when I actually weighed it on the bathroom scale. It's a '69....
I didn't think you were serious - should have known. :rolleyes:
I bought the steel notched straight edge with the short scale side and the long scale side. They say it will work with a 25 inch scale, and the Eastman is a 25 inch scale. But neither side fits over...

When the artist(s) is playing out of his/her comfort zone. When the artist is stretching and reaching. Doing the unexpected.
“Song X” with Pat Metheny and Ornette Coleman? That will get you into the club.
Oregon is not free jazz, I think the genre, which they pretty much founded, is called "world music" - or "new age" if it's mediocre (which could never be said about Oregon). It's hard to define...
I'm certainly no expert but the instrument will likely need a neck reset with the bridge at it's lowest point. Also, the fretboard at frets 4, 6 and 8 look pretty gauged out. It may be the photo...
