I guess I'm not explaining myself very well, my gear sounds good to me. I don't buy into thinking I need to search out the perfect strings, picks, determine my guitar cable direction and constantly...

It may be time for me to give up my search for the perfect pick.

If thumb wrapping was illegal, I wouldn't be able to play. God gave me monkey hands for a reason, I say.

Jgbe Virtual Jam, Round 2

I hear "head" and "top" in Chicago. "You take the head on this one." "Let's trade 4's for a chorus and then back to the top."

I'm guessing Godin is finally figuring out that the Godin name itself carries the most weight, and having numerous "sub brands" doesn't make a whole lot of sense. Hey, maybe my pre-Godin Etude is...

La Patrie Guitars are now Godin Guitars

I agree with all the posts above +1 on all of them! I will say that on hollowbodies, I can go lower than is desirable for me. That is, once I get below a certain point, I feel a drop off in what I...

Neck separation?

La Patrie was always a sub-brand of the company. Seagull, Art and Lutherie, Simon & Patrick are all sub-brands of Godin guitars.

Interesting points and analogies! Especially the one about the "smokey, peaty, single malt"! My Gretsch could NEVER sound like that, I understand... to me, that's the L5 with the CC pickup into...

" when we jam, I always end up playing the head. " Jameslovestal Hi, J, There's that word again (head) I/we never used in Chicago. See how enlightened I'm becoming now! I might keep it in...

There's more to this than "just" the guitar and the pickups: strings, even the pick unless you play fingerstyle. I'm actually not sure if there's a generally accepted definition for what's a "woody,...

Getting the "most woody/hollow" sound out of electric archtop?

Yup, same as adjusting a les Paul. The bridge shouldn't move under string tension unless it takes an impact. Change strings one at a time so the bridge doesn't move. If for some reason you do...
