Metal horns do enlarge a tiny amount as temperature goes up, and this lowers the frequency of the "sweet spot" for notes by a tiny amount. But if they start sharp in order to end up in tune with...
I'm a Telecaster fan and I've tried a lot of different neck pickups in my Teles over the years. My all-time favorite for jazz is TK Smith's version of the Charlie Christian. I've tried CCs from...
The number of variables that would need to be isolated to really conclusively compare the two is enormous, and I've never seen anyone come close to doing it. I also suspect that whatever...
Well, to me the twang lives at the bridge pickup. And classic filtertron is def twangy at that. The neck pickup is fine... but then again I'm not looking for a super dark tone on any guitar, let...
You should. At the very least, it should be "one and two and one and two and".
One person I know with formal musical education says that count-ins are always two bars. If there's a pickup of, say, more than a quarter note's duration, then in cut time, the count would be 1-2-1....
If you're playing relatively loud in a place with dirty power, yeah, you might still hear some sizzle. I bought one of those Hum Debugger things years ago, works like a charm.
Great info Christian, cheers. Now, how about this story about Bird liking (but not always?) leaning into the IV7 ?
No lingering odor. You can smell it when it's liquid, but it evaporates quickly. Once I wipe with a dry cloth I don't smell anything. Caveat: I use it, but I don't know if it's safe for every...
With cleaner jazz tones, usually not an issue?
If it's a tele, it should be a single coil. IMO. The tele neck pickup has been much maligned over the decades, when it's a gorgeous tone. And works quite well for jazz. Nothing wrong with a...
Yeah ... there could be all kinds of reasons, especially for older analog recordings. Analog recording and playback equipment can be operating at different speeds ... sometimes on purpose and...
There are lots of things that determine whether a guitar is worth the market value, or even what the market value is. My feeling is (minority opinion), if it's been played in, it goes up in value....
A friend of mine has 1 of each. I'm curious now, and will see if I can get him to measure.
measuring at the rear point of the F-hole at the edge 175: 3.4" L4: 3.6" almost 3/16 thicker
