Seems like Epiphone could have come up with a somewhat shorter moniker. :thwap http://www.epiphone.com/default.asp?ProductID=324&CollectionID=17 But, whatever, I played one of these today at a local Sam Ash and was very impressed. Solid Spruce top and Solid mahogany back, lam Mahogany sides...

Some interesting insights into the recording process!! http://waxy.org/2009/10/audio_analysis_of_the_beatles_multitrack_masters/

So the latest addition to the herd is... A Ukulele.. How uncool is that! :thwap Specifically a Oscar Schmidt baritone uke. Solid spruce top, lam rosewood back and sides. Very nicely done for a fairly cheapo uke. The baritone is tuned like the top four strings of a guitar, D, G, B, E...

Ran across this quote. Now part of my signature, but thought it was worth a post. "The music business is a cruel and shallow money trench, a long plastic hallway where thieves and pimps run free, and good men die like dogs. There's also a negative side." --Hunter S. Thompson

I took in a guitar today to a local luthier for some minor repair work. The guy used to be the repair person for Gibson when they were in Kalamazoo. His home is a virtual museum of old, odd, interesting guitars, banjos, ukes', mandos, and all kinds of other stringed things. He has no exact idea...

The back of my Martin has a bunch of small dings. It was like this when I got it. I liked the tone so much I felt I could ignore the blemishes. But, no sense in leaving well enough alone :thwap so I decided to try and spot reair the back. Here is what it looked like before the repair...

Maybe this should be in the Pedals/Effects section? At any rate has anyone used one of these Baggs units? I've played at an open mic the last few weeks and the host runs the guitars thru this stomp box. His guitar, a Martin dread, spruce and ash sounds fantastic. The pick up is a sound hole...

Here is some Thanksgiving, cookin' music. 5wTVLIZaxMk Hope everyone has a great holiday.

This looks like it might be worth watching!!! http://www.history.com/shows.do?episodeId=506644&action=detail

Been out several times over the last couple of weeks. Last night to a place in Dunedin I'd never been before. Rather sparse crowd and only a few players, but a terrific little room. Great host. This open mic has been around for a couple of years but may not last much longer. I played four...

Got my lazy :bootyshake out and played an open mic last night. When we are in Annapolis I just can't do it. There are a few in town, but they start very late and I'm just to tired after a day of that dreaded four letter word, work. Back in St. Pete the open mics all seem to start at a...

t7ruuydWOY4 Tomorrow am we'll be hitting Rte 95 heading to winter headquarter, a'ka St. Petersburg, Florida. Work is done, everything is put to bed for another year and we are OUT 'O here. :happy I'm really looking forward to having all the herd in one spot. :happy

As mentioned in the F/S section of the fret I decided to off load a few to make room for..... A late 80's Guild D60. Built in Westerly, R.I.. Designed by George Gruhn and Kim Walker. These Walker/Gruhn Guilds are just awesome guitars. Spruce and Rosewood. Arrived today. The ex...

I've decided to thin the herd a bit. In part due to a fairly high end acoustic (what else :D ) purchase. Delivery next week (hopefully). At any rate. The Martin 12 string I've decided to sell, just don't play the 12'er enough. May buy a lower end 12 string down the road. I've already sold...

Yet another addition to the herd. Likely a visitor, but has the potential of permanent resident status. This is a MIJ Epi PR-650. From the bad old Norlin years. As is typical of MIJ Epis (or Gibsons) from the Norlin era dating is almost impossible. This model was made in Japan from...

Interesting read. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/entertainment/8188475.stm But further proof of how DAMN old I am!!! :thwap:

This subject was discussed recently. I'd never tried this, so when 000 was due for a string change I thought I'd give the boiling thing a try. For the record the guitar is a solid wood, spruce and rosewood, M-30 Morgan Monroe. Strings, D'addario 11's. phosphur/bronze. I removed the strings...

In response to the ten "best" list, here is my list of the ten most "important" acoustic guitars. #10. Ovation Balladeer. I'm not a big fan of Ovations but they did introduce the whole idea of acoustics made of something other than wood. #9 Guild Jumbo 12. F-212/412/512. At least for me...

My Martin D12-1 has been in need of a bit of an adjustment. A while ago I lowered the action at the nut, but the guitar needed a bit more attention. Action at the 12th fret was a bit high and the neck was dead flat. All in all she has been a bit of a wrestling match. Yesterday I finally got...
