According to Vintage Vibe website, "The bridge position HS-90-SW pickup has a DC resistance of approximately 10.4 k-Ohm". I did not measure the resistance of my actual pickup, so I can't say for...

Vintage Vibe Pickups: Charlie Christian (CC Rider) and P90 (humbucker-sized)

Here’s a thought: Take the Gotoh buttons, tape up one side, and carefully fill the hole with epoxy. After it cures, you can drill it out to any diameter you want.

Personally, I would have it redone in my favorite fret wire. In my case that is Jescar 51100, but a lot of people don’t care for that. If you have guitars with frets that you really like, you could...

1935 Gibson L-12 - what frets?

Some of you know that I recently acquired a 1935 Gibson L-12. I have been playing it for a while and it is pretty clear that it needs new frets. Should I replace the old frets with exactly the same...

Howard Roberts Super Chops: study group for a tune based practice routine

I use Irealpro regularly for practice. 13 repeats, key change by a 4th every chorus. Play the head. Solo and comp in every key. The idea is to get past having to think about the names of the...

That's a great guitar--I really enjoyed it when I owned it: Can't help with the latter, but here's one of the former, a 1960:

Digging around a little further...the 1933 Hoagy recording seems to be the 1st recording, and as noted, it's not a waltz. I also have a 1953 Ralph Sharon version in a brisk 4/4. Carol Sloane's 1993...
