The gutar case!

I only play in open tunings -- haven't touched standard in 45 years!

Liked his playing; his singing, not so much.

I first tried Sunbeams after they were recommended here on LTG some years ago. Nice occasional change from my fall-back strings, D'Addario EJ17s tuned way down. I also enjoy switching to silver-plated silk-and-steels now and then for a different sound. Some guitars respond to them better than...

Typically the strings are highest at the end of the fretboard extension, and lowest at the nut. Try it at home folks!: I just put a coin under the fretboard extension of my Goodall -- which is perfectly set up -- and there may be a tad more space between strings and frets than with the guitar...

PM sent.

Dan Erlewine -- little known fact is that Iggy Pop got his start in Dan's teenage band, the Prime Movers, playing drums.

Tom has it exactly right IMO.

Ralf's messages are always so vague and unspecific, never to the point! 🙃

I have Volume 1 and Volume 2; very good basic info. Teeter was one of the first to publish such a book, pretty much "before the internet," and his books are considered solid and thorough. I'm only able to do very simple repairs, but I am also fascinated by the whole world of guitar history...

You won't get the bass "oomph" that you would on jumbo 12s, but for what some might consider to be one of Guild's "entry level" 12-strings, these are quite decent sounding guitars. A bonus is Guild installed the same quality Grover tuners they were putting on their F412s ansd F512s. I have a...

Terrific!

Royalties are sometimes complicated by the time factor -- some songs may be Public Domain, or Trad., or it may be unclear who wrote them (the first person to record a song wasn't necessarily the author). Artists can also claim arrangement credits. But there are many clear thefts. Some of the...

Very good price for (IMO) a very good sounding / good playing guitar.

The Plek machines are quite expensive I understand. If the guy near me (in Acton, MA) has done nearly 700 at $250.00 per job, I imagine (I hope!) he's put a serious dent in his cost. But the machines will also have to be maintained, and whatever part is leveling the frets must surely need to be...

So happy to see the ol' gal again! I've had occasional misgivings about selling it -- 'twas ever thus! -- but happy it's making other people happy! Sounded unlike any Guild I owned before or since, including the F50R, which it most closely resembles. May it serve you well, Rich!

On the plus side, it'll hold things together till it can be properly repaaired.

That’s quite a truss rod cover! But at least it’s not upside-down.

I have a Collings OM. Nice guitar. I use it for touring Europe and the UK, as it fits easily in the overhead in planes and I don’t get hassled for carrying it onboard. And very dependable. But I have to say, I don’t play it much at home. Doesn’t have the personality of some of my Guilds.

Note: I’m 65; have been playing guitar since I was 14, and look askance at pretty much every trendy new way of doing things that comes along. I’ve had many fret jobs over the years, so I know what fret leveling / dressing / crowning — and fret replacement — is all about. What makes sense to me...
