Welcome Pongo! :D I have no suggestions as I haven't moved over to the dark side (electric) yet... but if/when I do, I know for sure I'm in the right place for advice. ;) Happy future playing! :)

Great summary Magoo. :AOK:

Full tension sounds a bit scary. I'll stick to adjusting my truss rods while the strings are at concert pitch. ;)

Thanks for the video Adrian30. I really liked it too. BUT... dunno whether that cap makes it or breaks it :confused:

Welcome Kodiak3D! :AOK:

:bravo: Well done Childbride! :bravo: No need to tell you to keep up the good work 'cause I know you will. :D

Sheesh Ray, :poke: I'd have walked at that point.

Welcome ZMAN! :AOK:

Welcome Peach! :AOK: I think you're gonna like it here. ;)

Welcome Yan! :D Good to see you and Juju.

snoglobe, I'd just make sure that your humidity is fairly constant (probably around 50% RH). Do you have a hygrometer to check this? If not get a digital model (more accurate than analogs) and stick it on the wall beside your guitars. Here's an inexpensive one.

Tone I dunno if auto servicing works the same in the US as the UK... In the UK you get a service book with your auto which shows how often any part (particularly brake pads) should be inspected. Obviously the inspection will dictate whether new pads are required or not. If you don't have your...

Rocket hits the nail on the head again. We all tend to have our own sweet ways: If it ain't broke don't fix it. = No problem 'til it breaks THEN you need to SPEND big time (albeit for a professional... or the usually higher cost of fixing your own mistakes as you go). Regular (annual...

Street, bear with me... I'm a beginner. I do have one of the sexiest little metronomes you can find (a BOSS DB-30), but was recently advised to tap my feet and sing ALL THE TIME to initially improve my timing and FEEL/GROOVE. While practicing, making a point of foot tapping and singing (or...

Thanks Dreadman! :AOK: I've been missing your magic posts. It's great to see you in action again; keep up the good work.

Whoops, sorry Trev! I left the computer in the middle of my last post... so didn't see your reply. :thwap:

Just to keep the confusion going Merlin... I'll have a go. It is a B chord (but because you've put the capo on the 2nd fret you only need to use an open A chord shape [pretending the capo is the nut] to play and sound a B chord). Hope that makes sense... if not let's just have a beer. :beer:

I noticed that the "tension calculator" uses D'Addario figures. D'Addario calculates its figures based on 25½" scale lengths... so as your parlor's scale length is probably 24¾" that would be the same as dropping another quarter step (roughly). So a little bit less tension again. :)

Chad, I was really hoping it had one of those "George Durkee" patent bridges; but looking at the bridge pin hole spacings it ain't. :cry: I'd still like to see it though. :)

Happy Birthday duhvoodooman!
