Luckily Mark caught all those loose braces. They would have buzzed like a bumble bee, far worse than the usual Gibson humbucker rattle.

I am also a big fan of Nelson Faria’s playing. My first observation is that he is using his fingers and not a pick. I want to assume you’re already doing that, but thought I’d mention it. ...

Good guitar tone for electric bossanova

Fascinating work! Do you (some how) sand away the old glue? And how do you apply the new glue? Thanks.

Melody is usually the last word here. Using a 9th on the VI7 chord is not unusual. Pennies from Heaven is another example. However the b9 has become more popular on the VI7 so for soloing over...

All of Me - A7 on measure #28 (9th?)

Hi, thanks for the feedback. I also went to that decoder site first trying to research this. If you read their disclaimer, they don't support serial numbers from the 80's. The year code just says...

1983 Epiphone Emperor F

When I read your first post once again after all the answers you've had by now, I realize you have a very complete arsenal of guitars. Archtop, Telecaster, flat top. I didn't really take notice at...

Anything that speaks against stainless steel frets?

I'm sorry Delta put you through that Overzealous gate-keepers certainly make it a challenge. I have a Calton case with a Colorado cover, the backpack straps kind of disguise it as a gig bag, and...

Flying with guitar

It's pretty good, you have the makings of a good player. One thing. All your solos were in the same area of the guitar and it can start to sound all the same. Starting low and working up is a...

How do you understand the 5th and 6th bars of rhythm changes?

I would not take an anonymous Craigslist poster's word over that of the seller.... Guitar Info: Your guitar was made in Korea on February, 1993. Production Number: 2954 From: The Guitar Dater...

1983 Epiphone Emperor F

Acoustically stainless steel frets sound different, but using an amp I don't hear any difference.

Anything that speaks against stainless steel frets?

This is a really sweet tele and am listing it reluctantly. The good: I'm not sure who made the neck and body, but both are very high quality. The neck has what looks like a straight-grained...

Humbucker partscaster tele - get your Ed Bickert on!
