I like to record my way through books. That way I don't just quickly BS my way through the book. Sometimes making up a bit of groove to practice to. Making a bit of a project out of each lesson. ...
It's pretty normal. Rosewood backs and sides need a lot of filler before finishing. Oil it up a bit, be sure to wipe it down very soon after.
No... I watched the vid... was aware of some of the history, not all... but maybe you misunderstood me. Sorry.... I like drawing out geeky details. I do not think most jazz players do... I like...
Yes there is but if you’re bracing it for two pickups and and tone controls etc, the finesse of tone is a mute point. What you need is accurate repeatability getting you towards a known ball park...
So how many people will actually step up and buy a new Gibson Carved Archtop ? I expect the price to be on rather high side of things. Especially when Mark Campellone already makes great...

Both hands, every string not intended to be sounded is damped for all chords, double stops, lines, all tempos, all styles... If I "freeze" my playing and examine I find all the strings I don't want...
Isn't there more to carving a top than dimensions? Also, if it's just material, a CNC machine, and a program, does it matter where they are made?
Tonemasters are great amps. The only significant problem for me is that they get fizzy/digital artifact-y, when hit with moderately heavy fuzz. I would speculate that is not much of a problem...
I've recently gone pretty much completely to classical position using both my Dynarette cushion and a footstool. It's really helped. I've even added an acoustic and it's working out. (although I'm...
I’m wondering if - seeing as I’ll be getting a pickup replacement - it is worth upgrading caps, wiring, etc? I don’t know what the Peerless has already (assuming that’s the “chosen one”). What should...
