Too good to be true

oops....forgot to include this - This is a transcription of the later Django version, posted above in my previous post - It has the notation and the tab, and a short article with some information.

I was at the Gibson Garage store in Nashville a couple of weeks ago and asked about archtop production. I was told that Gibson sold most of the stuff needed to make archtops when the new ownership...

Rosewood vs Maple fretboard head to head - There's a difference

What's with all the weird Jazz guitars people buy?

Two conductor wire or this pre-tinnes gavitt for archtop/hollowbody?

I recently succeeded in fixing a freezer by installing a new thermostat. It was pure guesswork as to what the problem was. So a great result not having to buy a new freezer. Also put a new drive...

Are Modern Amps Repairable?

My understanding is that the "standard" version is thinner (around 2"), and the "deep" version is 3-3/8" (like a 175). Deviser's website is no help as far as measurements go, but the pictures of...
