Or a variation on that theme.

Soldier’s Joy in the key of D was my first tune.

Agree with Jim. 3 in 1 oil, if used injudiciously, can soften the wood around the set screws for the tuners and cause problems unseating the screws.

If your 0.7 mm pick slips freely between the first fret and string, it sounds as though your action at the nut is too high. Rob Meldrum has a free setup guide talked about on the cafe with specific...

Thanks for the tip on RJ. I downloaded the eBook from the local library and am into several chapters and it is an interesting read. Very informative re: the trials and tribulations that people of...

That is definitely Art Stamper. I played with Art off and on in Louisville KY for about 10 years. One of a kind guy! Art passed away January 23, 2005. That is Art on the left, me on...

I assume the name of the group is "Three Dollar Shoe." What is the name of the tune they are playing? - sweet!

If this truly is a Gibson, the serial number would indicate 1918 as the year of manufacture.

I have a 1998 Grand Artist which I love. It "popped" the first time I played it. I also use D'Addario J74's. It has a crisp, penetrating sound on the treble side and a warm, full sound on the...
