I imagine that shopping at Guitar centre is like shopping at Walmart.

Shameless self promotion etc - apologies!
Anyway fwiw here's a recent vid from a gig. Hope you like, no great mando soloing but whole thing is a bit of fun!
I think the guy doing the videoing had...

Nice playing Shaun....youre sounding like Compton ...I've got some practicing to do...:grin:

Fades are great also. Slightly off top but this is my Tom Anderson fade, done by Pat Wilkins, and being played by none other than Tom. :grin:

Here's another thing I've noticed about newbie threads and this site. It's getting swamped. Must be a critical mass type of thing but over the past year or two, newbies have been coming out of the...

First rule of the Loar Club, there is no Loar Club..

I had one Collings that I bought from a very well known shop that was just not right, but you know, when I took it to my luthier, he told me that someone had leveled the frets square, and it must...

Skip responded quickly to my inquiry.

"Truth is that most of that MONROESQUE recording was done with a top-of-the-line Japanese Ventura that I totally faked up in the 80's. I paid $300. for it ,...

My wife knows who to call and what to tell them. That is bring a huge tractor trailer truck to take them all to market. Hoarding is totally different from MAS. With hoarding you no longer pick...

I think my answer would be, yes, I'd trade it all for the right instrument. A Loar isn't even in my universe of consideration, so I'll exclude those from my choice.

I don't know which maker I'd...

You're right Shaun... lots of choices, but a "closet king" from perhaps the 2nd most coveted signing date will get this one sold pretty quickly... Loar prices are, from what I know and have heard,...

You got that right. Oh and it also came with a couple of "extra's". ;)
