    Guild F-240E

    Picked up one of these off of Amazon and it arrived a few days ago. After a day to settle in and a truss rod adjustment what started out as underwhelming has turned into a tone machine! I really could not be happier with this hog back spruce top jumbo! It has a great dynamic range and sounds...

    Tinny Light String Question

    I have noticed that on some guitars the Hi B and Hi E strings sound tinny if they are from a light set of strings... the quick fix for me has always been to put on the next heavier gauge string and problem solved....yet on other guitars the same light strings sound full...I am wondering if the...

    strings for maple jumbo

    Hi guys and gals just wondering what strings go best for a jumbo maple 6 string as I picked up a bargain gad jf30 yesterday from long & mcquades. The strings on it now I think are d'addario pb lights and they are a tad too thin and bright sounding...also they are old. Thanks, randy

    Well.....I just have to post on how much I Love the sound of my '77 F212XL. I played it for the first time in a church and the sound was just great! I played it through a behringer AD121 acoustic preamp into the board PA and the deep chimy delicous sound was there big time! I have a shadow...

    12 String Compensated Saddle

    Hi folks I am going to take a run at filing a compensated saddle for my 12 string. The guitar is at the shop right now having the saddle slot widened (and slightly deepened to clean it up a bit) to accept a thicker saddle. A new bone saddle is going to be roughed in by the tech for height and...
