    Interactive String Tension Chart

    I've been waiting for them to finally bring this useful tool back. I always liked their version of a string tension app.

    NGD 1970 M65 Special

    That is a beauty! Love the mahogany top and the hinged tailpiece. The small amount of extra weight and length of the hinged tailpiece makes a difference in the sound on the small body M65 especially. The length adds a bit more pressure on the bridge to help the body acoustically. I have a...

    Never Thought This Would Ever Happen

    As others have said I think it just takes time. I think with music especially it's difficult to make yourself get back into it. With the passing of some time and possibly and some unexpected experience it will come back to you.

    2025 and I just got my first Smartphone Lol

    Smart phones are very handy devices but... My first flip phone is one I will always remember, as I still have it. Can't use it of course, too old tech, but it was THE BEST! Oh and while on the subject of old but great tech, My old 1970s National Semiconductor digital LED watch. National...

    Guild DV 52 binding issue

    I've noticed binding issues on a number of Guilds I've had that were made in the mid to late 90's for some reason, both acoustic and archtop. Much less so from the 70's thru the early 90's.

    Purchased Tuner vs an Ap?

    The most useful tuner I have is a Korg PB-04 Pitchblack polyphonic tuner. Love the fact I can see all 6 strings played at once for quick small adjustments.

    The first time I heard this song was a Simon and Garfunkel recording from the 60's as well.

    Guild G-37 string tier list

    Basic math

    I couldn't agree more! Validating the information is key when we have vast amounts of information at our finger tips every minute of every day. I'll just leave it at that.

    2004 Peregrine joins early 80's predecessors

    Well I think I will have to work on a name for this one. Sometimes they speak to you and the name right there. My current setup is Guild all the way.

    Hum on the F65ce

    In the past I have had a similar situation where on an older guitar when I removed the strings and shaved the saddle then found it had developed a hum. The hum would only go away would when I touched the output jack. What I found to be the problem was in fact the UST. What had happened was...

    2004 Peregrine joins early 80's predecessors

    A new to me 2004 Corona S7CE Peregrine Standard joins it's 1984 FS46-12CE 12 string predecessor as well as a 1984 MKS10-CE, SC3 Paloma predecessor. Many years ago I had a 2003 Peregrine Standard in red. I sold it and have regretted it since. I really like this one in Chestnut, I assume, over...

    Soundhole cover for F65ce

    I'm sure a number of folks here would be interested. These are almost impossible to find.

    Low Profile Hagstrom-type bridges

    That's a nice replacement solution for sure. Especially useful on 1960's Guild archtops that tend to have the shallow neck angle.

    Ampeg SB-12 Portaflex from 1966

    I picked up a nice 1966 Ampeg SB-12 that brings back old memories. I'll never forget an SB-12 being rolled onto my parents patio by a friend of a friend one evening when I was 15 or so. My friend and I were playing through my first amp. (this was a year before I bought my first real amp, a...

    Guild 1985 FS48-CE rescue update

    I had posted a few years back on this FS48-CE I picked up from Guitar Center where it was listed as "Guild miscellaneous". The FS48-CE was kind of a combination of the FS46-CE and FS46-6CE but had an added hidden humbucker pickup as well as an under saddle pickup. The pickups were selected...

    NGD, 2021 Norman (Godin) B50-12 Natural SG Element

    Well, I bought this used Norman B50-12 Natural SG Element based on some input from members here on LTG and was not disappointed. I'm not really a fan of maple body jumbos but I did find I liked my Guild G-37 maple body dread quite a bit. That got me thinking about a 12 string maple body dread...
