I put JS112 strings on an Ibanez AS200 once. It sounded great for jazz but I think it took the instrument outside it's design parameters. One thing I like about roundwound .010s on the yamaha is that...
The Epiphone Howard Roberts archtop was specified with a carved spruce top, oval soundhole, and a 25 1/2" scale length. It's possible that some made it out with 24 3/4" scale boards, but I'm more...
I like the Yamaha. I'd really like to hear it with the TI 12's. I suspect it might really shine.
Guitar, cable, amp. Done. I would suggest you get rid of that Fishman amp if you want breakup tone, instead of putting an overdrive ahead of it.
Here are a couple of things I tried this afternoon. 1. I actually could not identify the 12AX7 that came with the amp, though it definitely sounded good. The EL34 is a TAD Redbase, and it seems...

I have decided to sell the Sienna Burst Sadowky Frank Vignola that I bought. I've decided that Ilike nitro lacquered guitars. The FV is similar to an SS-15...but it has two pickups instead of one but...
The guitar arrived. The guitar was stripped of strings and padding was put around the tailpiece and under the pickguard. FedEx did the rest and checked the guitar. It arrived the next day at...
As it happens my bridge on the high e is less less 20mm but more than 19! Action is 1.7mm. So not too bad.
I look forward to hearing more your stuff.
Yes I think it's in C! I didn't saw transcriptions, I learned by ear but I should start to write them...! I don't have enough time and patience to write them properly... But transcribing solos or...
I posted Poinciana which, ironically, is one of the few Bruno performances to make an impression. But I do see your point. Barney had so much feeling, swing, texture, personality and guitaristic...
