Mr z, I know I'm not the only one around here wanting to see some pix of the rosewood! Good luck with your project and happy 12ing. ' Strang

Drunken fish of the day.

Wow, I'd sure like to know what you guys are talking about! I guess that makes me an acoustic player. It's like a whole 'nother world!

Alphabet soup speaks up for me.

No, you absolutely do not and be careful what you wish for, even in a joke. Hearing aids are love/hate. I'm glad they're as good as they are but dang! I wish they were better.

Yeah, I'm afraid you're right, but a guy can dream. I can even enhance those dreams with details like rosewood bodies, Adirondak tops, short scale and such. I could commission such a build but hearing loss, arthritis and life expectancy at 75 all conspire against this. Nick Apollonio could...

Love the F-112! They are lightning fast responding and brilliant sounding. Whether in a quiet intimate setting or a raucous bar they can deliver whatever sound you need. They even do well with heavier strings tuned lower. And so comfortable to play. Maybe Guild could consider a reissue. There...

Welcome! I can confirm spruce over mahogany. ' Strang

Sweet guitar! And welcome to the club! Lots of 12 string love hereabouts. ' Strang

My wife objected to this last time we went out for a walk.

I don't think we're connecting here, Gary. I'm talking about natural lefties who play the conventional way: left hand on the neck, right hand with the bow. I think there are all kinds of reasons it would be impossible for a symphony orchestra to work with some players playing lefty. I was...

Well, they're bowed with the right hand, dominant or not. Many of the orchestral string players I have known are very much natural lefties. I asked one about this and she said that both hands are hard. Hey @chazmo as an orchestral brass musician have you noticed anything similar with the string...

Elizabeth Cotten also played upside down and backwards. Most fingerpickers learn this song early on.

I would suggest that you get the work done or return it to the seller more sooner than later. There is a former Guild employee who worked at the Westerly factory and he is the go-to person for this kind of project. He did a great job resetting the neck on my F-112. His prices good but he is...

Different manufacturers have different definitions for terms like light gauge, medium gauge, ultra-light gauge so I use the actual numbers. I recommend .010-.047 tuned up to standard. For tuning a whole tone low I would use .012-.050. There's more on gauging and tuning on this page...

I have an HD28V. The H means it has the same herringbone purfling that you can see on the beauty you found and they both have the "Diamonds and Squares" fingerboard inlays and the forward shifted X-brace. The are part of the "Vintage series", hence the letter V. Mine does not have the Adirondack...
