Why do you need so many? You can only play one at a time?

Shut Up 'n Play Yer Guitar is a reference to some works of Frank Zappa in the early 1980's.
O for 2 so far....
I'd need to get on a PC to search who other mods are.
Haven't had time to play much but the ones in the current rotation (ie on the wall not in cases) are a Breedlove concert, Taylor GS Mini, Martin Custom D, and an Alvarez Masterworks.

I'd love to see the Breedlove concert!! I have this fixation on their Breedlove Oregon concert Rogue that was a special run for NAMM at the beginning of the year. It's BLUE!! That sounds like a very diverse crowd, which is AMAZING in my book. I like the difference in tone as you cycle through!

Where have I heard that before? Not at my house, that's for sure!! And right now every one is in a different tuning..... :encouragement:
I have the Spruce Myrtle Oregon concert series, but I have't been playing the fine china. Maybe I should.
The one on the wall is a Korean made Passport Plus.

I played a myrtly breedlove concert a few months ago, they are fantastic guitars. great punch and fullness for such a small body too. very comfy. not a fan of the headstocks, but that is not a deal breaker for me really.

pinless bridge is cool, i had a Taylor once that had that, i believe they dabbled with that in 96 or 97...

have a Gibson J40 pinless bridge acoustic guitar with gold Grover tuners. I thought my guitar was a 1970-73 model because there's evidence the tuners were replaced. But there's no accurate dating system pre-1977. So, according to the post 1977 8-digit dating system (SN 73187097) it would be a a 1977 model. The label says "Union Made" in Kalamazoo, Michigan. Supposedly it was the 97th product out the door. The 318 supposedly means made on March 18th.
FWIW it's a pretty neat guitar but sounds a bit bright for my tastes. I bought the guitar in 2009 and didn't play it very much at all. Honestly I was skeptical; figuring the pinless bridge might be too fragile. It came to be more of a conversation piece that cost me more than it should have.
I never took it outside. The neck is straight. The frets are in great shape. There are no scratches or belt marks on the back. There's no checking. There's no bowing, no armpit stains, no beverage stains. In my adult beverage world that's astounding.

Try telling that to the Sultan of Brunei.

You could easily fix all that.
Still looking for a Mod or the Admin's guidance. Please PM. Thanks!

I know what that means but I'd really rather not. That would mean starving my preferred Guilds of that extra set of strings.

ALL Ovations have pinless bridges ... much easier for string changes.

And the topic is . . . what, exactly? Hard to keep the conversation on-topic, when the topic is too secret to disclose!
If you haven't already done so, try sending to fronobulax or chazmo, for example. I would expect one of them to respond to your inquiry.
