  1. Re: Elderly Instruments recognized by U.S. Chamber of Commerc

    I grew up about 30 minutes from there. Bought a number of instruments. Took guitar and vocal lessons.

    Re: Strum Machine vs iRealPro

    Strong preference for Strum Machine. The quality is higher, simple efficient interface, lots of songs that you dont need to track down, seamless syncing across platforms and sharing with friends.

    Re: Big Mon, ToneGuard, Calton

    I’d reach out to Calton. I asked them a similar question and they informed me that it wouldn’t fit.

    They also have the option when ordering a case to have extra room for a toneguard.

    Re: Clip On Tuners / What Cha Got ?

    I keep a handful of D'addario micros on hand. I usually get the ones that screw onto the tuners. Can't even see them from the front, no marks on the headstock finish.

    Re: Are gilchrists looseing their desire

    Found this post and thought it was interesting. Any update on pricing? I think still roughly 20K for used?

    If you put $20,000 in the S&P500 in 2008, you’d have $45,000 today!
