  4. Re: Are Condenser mic’s worth the bother?

    Doing your own sound reinforcement has its good moments and some not so good ones. Large diaphragm condensers vary, and choosing a preferred one can be challenging. But for sure, lots less mics,...

  10. Re: 3-point Gibson conversion from 1972 on eBay

    Yes, bridges and fingerboards on the c. 1942 A-50 that I know of, in my limited experience. That’s the reason I keep them on mine although both are seriously showing their age.
