No,no, your explanation was very helpful and solved my problem. Thank you.

I was just pointing out that thread to ajh because I thought it might help him also.

Thanks for posting this video, I...

Embed the code after the "v=" except for that last forward slash as in "eZ6m3sK8o6o" without the quotation marks of course.

If a self adhesive pick guard is applied to bare wood with wear into the grain like the OP guitar, removing the 'guard will almost certainly take quite a bit of wood with it. I'm not sure I would...

I thought these performances and indeed the recording needed a bump.

I agree with Charles. If the tailpiece and tuners were correctly installed, pay for that only. If they supplied the bridge and gave you the old one back, ask for a refund for the parts and labor...

Without good technique (much of sustain derives from technique and set up, right?) adding all that mass just makes unbalanced instruments (I'm looking at you head heavy F5s!) more cumbersome to play....

I don't know why, but after reading Dave's post above the words "mic drop" popped into my mind...

In case anyone wants to know either (a) that they are fooling themselves into thinking that they hear something that is not actually there, or (b) that they are becoming half deaf old geezers who...

I have been making a small tenor to order (Christmas delivery) it is not much bigger than a Baritone ukulele but will be strung CGDA in steel.

I've been thinking about going from the wide end for a while but manage to cut short fret perhaps once in few fret jobs so I will just save it for the next job or use it on the extension (I'm mostly...

Hey Friends, hope you all are well. New vids and a brand new youtube page for my local swing band here in Boulder. We currently have three subscribers:), so any yt love you could throw our way...

I thought I'd look up a little back history for this jig and learned nothing other than another way to tell if you have raccoons in the attic is to look—or sniff—for scat. Raccoons will use one area...

Hi Guys,
