    Strongest case ever?

    I have a case like this for a Les Paul. Very protective and I bought it for really, really, not a lot of money. I really, really hate it. It weighs a ton and is cumbersome and now I know why the guy was getting rid of it.

    Strap button at heel or use headstock loop......

    I use a Schaller strap lock on a Guild D50 in position #3 as shown above. I play mostly electric and mostly fat Guild and Gretsch guitars. I Guess that’s why that placement always seemed right to me.

    NS X-175, Lollars

    Does anyone here have any experience with Lollars in an NS X-175? Routing, pickguard, pots, sound etc… you know all the stuff you guys are so good about, but, I never seem to think about until I’m way over my head in a new project.

    Cornbread and Milk

    Dad did the buttermilk with what he called “cracklin’“ bread, which was cornbread with chunks of bacon or pork belly. Me? I’ll take the cracklin’ bread anytime. You are welcome to drink the buttermilk.

    Why Don’t we Clap After Classical Solos?

    The only once in a lifetime spontaneous standing ovation I’ve ever received as a player was playing classical. It was for a special occasion and I worked on it for weeks playing a first rate Ramirez guitar: Mauro Giuliani Guitar Concerto in A major. I now have neither the guitar nor the chops...

    First song you ever played & sang for an audience

    I didn’t sing then. But, it was “Getting to Know You” from “The King and I” upon the departure of my much loved first grade student teacher Miss Reevis. I played it on my brand spanking new 3/4 sized 1959 Fender Musicmaster and a borrowed amp. I sing now but badly so only at home alone when...
