    Re: Why do you like the picks you like?

    I like mine thick’er’, rounded triangle... but not to rounded and with a beveled edge.

    I have not tried a blue chip yet... mostly because I’ve never seen one in a store and I like to see/feel it...

    Re: Prince - R.I.P.

    Your signature line has never we in a more appropriate thread. Describes Prince well.

    I'm starting to dub this the year the music died. We have lost so much this year already.

    Re: Mismatched binding

    I sing better with my eyes closed anyway.
    Buy it if it sounds good.

    Re: C Chop Chord Fingering

    I do the 5578

    but I guess I would call it more of percussive than chop if that makes any sense.

    Re: Martin mandolins

    I've never owned a martin.
    But would actually be interested in what price point they would want to try to come in.

    I think an offering in the $1000-$1,500 would play well for them.

    Re: In case or on stand?

    one guitar and one mandolin hanging on the wall. Safe and accessible.

    But the ones that get played the most are on the wall.

    Re: NMD: gretsch new yorker.

    I also have one and like the sound.

    The finish on mine is actually pretty bad. The fit is good for the price range but the finish leaves a lot to be desired. There are stain smears and dip dots. ...

    Re: Interesting Neck Idea

    It could be that most people do not lightly hold a gun thereby increasing the surface area (pressing into the checkering), as well that checkering tends to be micro pyramids as apposed to a smoother...

    Re: Interesting Neck Idea

    Re: Can I ask a Guitar Question

    I just use barre chords, which throws off a friend that I play with, but I like more of a percussive mutted/chunky strum pattern

    Re: String damper ???

    I pretty much only change strings when I have to.
