Acoustic Guitars | Forum profile

i am collecting two word adjectives that describe the sound your git delivers, please tell your two. my J-OM is delicate/complex

Nice! Enjoy!

It seems these are either loved or hated.... What are peoples thoughts?

Wow. Really cool! http://www.maniacworld.com/nowhere-m...e-kalimba.h tml

I hereby post my one thousandth post. Ta-dah. Only took me 5+ years! Please alert the media. Beers all around. Guess I'll catch TAH by the time I'm...let's see...about 126 years old? And that's only if he stays banned! I really enjoy this forum. It's been a great resource for me. I...I...I...love you, men! And women! (cue awkward, lurching embrace, followed by nervous laughter and ...

I have an old 1959 Guild F-20 that I'm thinking of selling but I don't really know how much they're fetching for. It's recenly been serviced by a professional Luthier. I'll post some pics.

Really do miss the old coot.

Remember a while back that guy posted saying he invented that portable PA system? I think this is it in Sweetwater. http://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/SoloAmp/ Anyways, now that it's available, what do you guys think about it? I play solo acoustic and am thinking about getting some type of system for small venues (coffee shops and what not). Would this (or another PA) be ...

I recently acquired a vintage Yamaha FG-580. The stock action is way too high. My luthier said that the best way to get the action down to the lowest would be to slot and file down the bridge to drop the strings down low behind the bridge. Is this a common modification? How will this affect the value of this vintage guitar? Thanks!

I know that ovation is all about the durability, but can they take the heat? I want an acoustic that I can leave in the trunk and not worry about it falling apart. But I can't spend 2 grand on a rainsong. How do Ovations hold up?

There is another thread about Zager guitars which is full so, I'll just start another one. First of all, and, I think importantly(I actually own one!), I bought a very nice looking black, ZAD-50CE back in '04 and I've enjoyed some aspects of it for over 3 years now. They were a little bit cheaper then and I was very curious about this "string science" thing. Its BS, of course, but he does...

Ladies and gentlemen, may I introduce you to the latest member of my "harem", my Guild GAD JF48! Got a "real" Guild p/g ordered, along with a UST, both of which I'll install probably in a week or so... I'm so stoked! (Sorry about the crappy cell-phone pic...I hope to have a decent digital camera one of these days!)

Any tricks for playing your most hated chords? I am currently reviving my love of guitar playing after 35 years of off and on. Years ago when I started, I remember having trouble with (and hating) the plain ole "B" chord. I have just avoided it over the years and have never been comfortable. You know - can't seem to change to a "B" quickly and when I do I get lots of string muting and ...

I've been feeling the need to write for three days now! It probably has something to do with my heart being in a thousand pieces... I need to change my mind! Or to express myself... What if we open a thread for the weekend and it is about posting an original compostition? I think it would be better to post only one compo. It would also be a good thing if we would all start to work on ...

We could use prayers and good vibes pointed Tennesse way. My brother was recently diagnosed with leukemia. After a month of no energy and some dizziness he went in. Turns out it's AML-M6 (the technical name for this type is Acute Erythroblastic Leukemia). He started the knock down chemo cycle today. That cycle is very similar to the procedure I underwent as a precursor to a stem cell transplant ...

If a guitar has a slimmer neck does it necessarily mean that the strings are closer together along the frets. By the same token, does a 1.75 nut have strings spaced further apart than a 1.69 nut. Gets a little confusing for me at times! What I'm looking for is a smaller dread with a thinner neck for my small hands and fingers. Been searching the various website stores for ideas but its making my...

Having endured a recent attack of G.A.S. (other priorities alone have kept my desires at bay), I was wondering how many folks who play a great deal and even play professionally at some level would never think of spending over $1000 for a guitar, new or used. What made me wonder is C70man's comment about his instructor/luthier's playing less-expensive guitars ("They aren't great guitars, but...

i've been wanting to do this for some time. been studying benedettos book & his 9 hour dvd set which goes through the entire build process for about a year now. so going to give it a go & see how it turns out. body shape was drawn on tracing paper laid over full scale engineering drawings for an exact body profile. tracing paper was attached to poster paper with double-stick ...

My intention is NOT to stur up any bad feelings, but meerly to start an interesting and hopefully constructive disscussion on where folks here think that Taylor Guitars is headed. I'll start by saying that I have owned several Taylors as well as several other brands, and I regularly visit the local GC and have checked out just about every guitar hanging on the wall. It's to the point that I...

Well got my new Breedlove AD25/SM at a great price from Music123, Great Guitar but I have my doubts about Music123. On their web site this guitar was listed with the hardshell case, so I emailed their customer service experts! and asked if this model did come with the Breedlove Hardcase and they emailed me back that yes it came with the hardcase, so I called to place my order and once again I ...
