Got an email from StewMac announcing a limited supply of Brazilian rosewood fingerboards. One of the looks REALLY pale! 🤨😳😝 (When you click on it it shows the actual fret board.)

This was posted on FB.

A great little film about Jimmy D'Aquisto narrated by him.

I've been playing acoustic mostly for the last year. So tonight I broke out the G&L Legacy for the first time in I don't know how long. Longer than the year. I always loved how the trem never knocked it out of tune, unlike a Fender Strat. But I was surprised to notice that it was perfectly in...

When StewMac first advertised these I held off, despite the introductory pricing. But I never forgot. So when the text came that the were putting them on sale I finally bit and snagged a 2 piece korina blank. (I'm guessing that they sold out of the 1 piece blanks during the initial offering. All...

On this evening's Troglys he is reviewing a purchase by one of his viewers of an offering by a former Guild owner. A new 70th anniversary offering by Fender. From the outside it's somewhat attractive with a kaleidoscopic "amethyst" finish. But under the hood, YIKES! In an effort to offer every...

A good short video about what shielding does (and doesn't) do for you.

The latest in Gibson‘s Collection video series is a visit with Peter Frampton, going through a number of his iconic (and not so iconic) guitars. No Guilds, although he does mention that he had a Starfire early on in his career.

I see our benevolent overlord has added a couple of new forum categories.

I spy, with my little eye, Ian Hunter playing one of his Guilds on the Midnight Special. S-90 unless I'm very much mistaken.

I saw a post about restoring some antique tuning machines and got to thinking. For those tuners that have gotten sloppy over the years, with the gears worn away from a tight mesh, they might be nickel plated to add just enough metal back on to get them tight again. It would have to be a...

How much is too much? We love when there's multi-line binding, but can there be too much? Saw this in this morning's Instagram feed from one of the Benedetto builders. I'm not sure I like this many white/black lines.

Of course those birks label it as an F4-12.

I thought I should start a separate thread with the uke build to keep a little separation. I'll do the same with the slope shoulder dread. This will be a soprano ukulele that a former student is having built for his wife who is a music teacher in the Nashville area (and is ALSO a former...

Saw what must be a very rare photo of Albert Einstein playing a Danelectro on FB.

Mom may not have liked him best, but everyone else did. 😪 One of the OG iconic Guild players. I grew up on their records.

A post about an "amazing version" of Vincent played on a custom harp guitar got me curious so I looked it up on YouTube. Personally I've always been intrigued by the look of harp guitars but rarely (if ever) have I been impressed with the sound. They always seem like too much gimmick and not...

@GAD , need some tuners for your 3D printed guitar? Might be a patent infringement with Playskool.

And we thought Guild had some odd design pairings during that period with a pointy headed Tele. Ovation took up the challenge big time with this one. Shallow bowl “acoustic” electric trying to be hair metal, meet the Ovation Thunderbolt.
