As I posted a while ago, my third F-Tar Load 'n' Lock died and I was considering solutions. Well, turned out I had it all along. A few years ago, I bought an IRig Acoustic Stage to use primarily with a classical guitar when I wanted to mic it, never used it and forgot about it. Remembered it a...

I've generally had no problems changing strings, not my favorite thing to do, but usually went smoothly and could change strings pretty quickly. Tonight, I changed strings on my F212, first time in a while, last couple of string changes were done when it was having some work done on it, so...

If anyone can guess what this animal is I'll buy myself a new guitar!
