Gracie used to make a stand that would hold an acoustic guitar in playing position. They were developed for electric guitar players who wanted to play an intro/break on acoustic in the course of a...

Lots of other good folk-related documentaries on the site as well.

Contact Gryphon Stringed Instruments in Palo Alto, CA (about an hour south of SF). They have a pretty impressive pick selection (I don't know if they sell Blue Chips, though).

Check with your local police department. Not foolproof, but a good starting place.

The price he's asking strikes me as reasonable. I was very tempted, but I have one already and don't think my 'cello jones extends to having two of the exact same model of an instrument that (face...

I'm not sure if it's the one that Lark had. As I recall, Lark had asked $3500 for theirs. I remember playing one at the Lark store in SF years ago, and I seem to recall it had rosewood back and...

(NFI.) I have one of these and it's a beautiful instrument.

I've used Anvil-style electric guitar flight cases for odd-shaped mando family instruments before. You can often find them used in the $100 range. I usually have to customize the interior with new...

In my (admittedly limited) experience, neck resets are part of the "normal aging process" of instruments and are not covered by the factory warranty. That is certainly true for Martin and neck...

Here's a link to an article from a recent issue of Acoustic Guitar magazine where Stevie Coyle talks about the stuff he takes to gigs:
...

The choice between standard, open-D and DADGAD is largely driven by the choice of accompaniment styles. I assume that you're talking about creating tab for lead lines. Irish guitar players rarely...

Interesting playing. What is that thing? Looks like it's strung like a harp.

The sE X1 sells new for $199 at Sweetwater, compared to the AT 2020 for $65 at B&H Photo and the AT 2020 USB for $109 at Sweetwater.

I'm not a big fan of the MXLs, though at $80 for the pair at MF...

In my (limited) experience, a lot of choro guitar is played on a 7-string guitar with a low bass note. This makes it difficult to play the lines properly (especially the bass lines) on a regular...

I personally wouldn't use my KM184s in a live performance situation unless I was sure that I was in complete control of all of the possible things that might happen. They're too valuable a recording...

The PADI does not have power to the 1/4" jack (it's a line-level signal), so as I understand it it won't double as a headphone amp (though I confess I've not tried to use it that way).

There's all sorts of types of "responsibility" -- ethical, legal, etc. IMHO, what we have is a situation where (a) the banjo player left the instrument "in harm's way" but (b) it did not fall over...

Yes. There was a very lengthy thread on the topic.
