    Help with potential keyboard/digital piano (Roland) purchase

    Does anybody know if you'd need to purchase anything in addition to what is included with this piano, that does not already come with it? I don't know a lot about it, or them. And haven't got the energy to do the necessary research. I know, then why are you buying? it's actually a gift for...

    Does anybody know that, if you post a picture on a site, are others able to do a reverse image seach on google, or by any other means, and trace that personal photo from your phone, to where you have it posted elsewhere (say on a social media account?)? Just wondering, is all! ...Thanks~ jess

    A Question on cleaning bridge/saddle without moving/adjusting thumb-wheel which controls "action."

    Does anybody have any tips for an LP-style guitar (in this case, Eastman, but I had the same trouble with my Heritage). So whenever I get a new guitar, and this one came ripe with strong odors/scents of an oil that I have yet been able to tame (both on it, and the case!). In any event, when I am...

    Humidipacks Question

    Does anybody know if it's ok, for them to freeze while sitting in the mailbox if not home when delivered? This is the first time I've used them. It's a replacement pack of 12, from D'Addario. Also, does anybody know if you can use the products interchangeably with Boveda's? Thanks! (they're...

    A question about Silk & Steel strings

    If you put these on, will you have some trouble when you go to do suspended tunings? I have my guitar setup for lights, and don't seem to have too much of a problem with them now. But were you to go with I guess what they call "extra light," and also the difference in the string material...

    String Cutters

    The only thing I have ever used for cutting my strings is my Gerber Multi-plier. After about 25 years, I've noticed they're starting to wear out, and string changes have become more & more frustrating. Even though this is a minor issue / inconvenience, does anybody have any recommendations on...

    Removing stains from finish on used strat

    Hi, I just picked up an 8 year old American Standard Strat; & it has some marks on it, that I can't seem to get off by normal cleaning & polishing (like with Jim Dunlop). When I first saw them, I'd thought they were just clear, transparent gunk, that got on somebody's fingers, and then left...

    Guild Bluesbird General Question

    Hi, Just wondering how the new imports stack up with the originals -(or by those, to me, anyway... I am referring to the models made in the '90s). If there's a difference, as I've noticed in the ads/descriptions, I think or believe they say they are somewhat based off those in the '60s. With...

    Recording Gear Update

    Just thought I'd update from previous lengthy thread, which I can no longer find! :) I got the Audacity that some had suggested, as was having difficulty with the install process on the accompanying software with the Focusrite Solo. I have used zero anything, beyond record. I don't have any...

    Neck Reset & Fret Work Inquiry

    So... I posted not too long ago about my old 90's D-25 which had had some structural work done to it, in regards damage during shipping. The vintage guitar shop I bought it from had it setup with mediums. Though I did not string it up to play, with lights, for several years after this time...

    Neck reset Question

    Hi, I've got a D-25 from the early 90's. I've got it from a nationally reputable guitar shop, that has, among it's specialties - vintage guitars. It needed some work upon arrival due to some damage incurred during shipping. This took a very, very long time (of which, was spent with a...

    Recording Equipment Question

    A little while back, I think sometime over the course of this past winter, I was inquiring about all of the necessary pieces of equipment needed to record your own sound (guitar and vocals) from your home. I had at that time bought a used condenser mic (i think that was the kind...)--& anyway...

    New (used) Tube Amp Question

    Is it safe to leave a tube amp out in the garage overnight if it gets below freezing? I was thinking about getting a small, cheap tube amp to replace the nice, much more expensive big one I just sold... Reading about how others are doing things like this with their acoustics, given the current...

    New Guild D-25

    I’d imagine that this has been brought up at some point in the past, but what would be the logic behind not reintroducing a new D-25 with the archback design that was supposedly one of, if not the, most popular selling models during the Westerly R. I. time? Money? Sales? Inability to execute...

    String Break Question

    Does anybody know what happens when you break a string with the capo on? It’s something I’ve never done, and always been curious about. Now, until very recently, I had done all of my tuning—which is where I break 99.9% of my strings (usually the ‘G,’ which I’m told actually has the thinnest...

    Recording Songs

    I don’t know anything about recording sound for acoustic guitar and vocals. I just ordered a condenser mic, xlr cable, stand and know that I need an interface or mixer, plus some sort of software for my laptop pc. Am I missing anything to simply record myself singing and playing my guitar, in...

    Shipping Inquiries Per Purchases

    Do you generally ask who the seller uses to ship their instruments if it is not already stated in the ad? I see a lot of instances where this is not declared (“I will ship with tracking, etc.”) And I wonder if it has something to do with the ability to use a more economical route, should a...

    Anybody familiar with locking mechanism on newer G&L cases by G&G?

    Hi, I just bought a 2012 G&L ASAT Special in more or less mint condition. It came almost without any packing protection beyond the case and cardboard box. Maybe it doesn't need any? Anyway, I'm having trouble with one of the latches staying locked, or closed shut (regardless of whether or not...
