Relief is very easy to check. Simply put on a capo on the first fret, then press the low E string where the neck meets the body. Probably at the 14th. fret. You have now created a straight edge and can measure the gap between the fretboard and the string. If you have two capos use them at...

Have not looked in for a while. Dropped in today and saw this post. Let me clarify a few things. First, action is not adjusted via the truss rod. A truss rod only adjusts the amount of neck relief. Most, but not all acoustic players like a small amount of relief. When a guitar string is...

Yeep watched most of it. Very much agree with the Beyonce comments. She got a lot of TV time yesterday as she was also interviewed on 60 minutes. Very thoughtful, well spoken you lady. Protective of her privacy and funny. Green Day got a big thumbs up. Not so much the Zak Brown band, which...

I've only done it once. Have adjusted the slots many times. Lots of guitars leave the factory with the slots not cut deep enough. Unless you are talking about a custom situation you are likely able to buy a replacement nut. Couple of sources...

I re-string very much like Robert with a couple small differrences. 1. Start with the hole in the peg at 90 degrees to the fretboard. 2. With the non winding hand both hold the string in place at the nut AND maintain tension as you wind. 3. Have a bit less winds on the low and high E's than...

The T5 is a very cool, versatile guitar. As you say lot O coin. Michael Kelly has a low cost Hybrid that does a lot of the same things the Taylor does for a lot less $$...

Krash mentions pawn shops, a great source for low priced 12 strings. My guess is a lot of people get a 12'er, loose interest and need a bit of cash. The local pawn shops have a bunch of 'em. I picked up a vintage Eko Ranger 12 string, at a pawn shop a bit over a year ago. Great guitar. Big...
