I need some advice on how to safely remove the volume/tone control module from my D-55. It's glued in and I don't want to do something stupid. The Fishman Matrix Infinity preamp stopped turning on, so I removed it and sent it to Fishman for repair. They sent me back an entirely new unit with...

GAS got the best of me, and I purchased this F-47M from GC when it showed up last week. I've been wanting an F-47 from either Tacoma or New Hartford for some time. I was somewhat surprised when I opened up the case and started examining the guitar. Seems the previous owner had the D-TAR pickup...

I ran across this site yesterday and am seriously considering buying one. I've looked at the Lag HyVibe system and the Vox Guiletta VGA-3D guitars. I believe there are others as well. This seems to be the trend to include effects processing with the pre-amp. This one seems to be the least...

How do I get this end pin jack out? The pick up was removed some time ago and from the looks of it the jack is toast as well. I can spin the outer brass strap nut but it doesn't come off. Any ideas are greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I recently acquired this F-40K from a former Tacoma plant employee. His boss told him to take a couple of guitars when the plant shut down; he doesn't even play guitar. Been sitting on this one and a CO-2 for the last 10 years. The guitar is in mint condition; the protective film was still on...

I found a Westerly made D-55 for sale through an estate sale and I'm curious about what year it's from. I'm guessing mid to late '90's. SN is AD551821. The guitar is in great condition. Hopefully I can land this one. Thanks, JJ

Well GAS got the best of me last week and I pulled the trigger on this 12 string. I'm sure glad I did. Its gorgeous! The previous owner took really good care of this guitar 'cause it's in perfect condition. I can't find a scratch or blemish anywhere. The neck angle is great, as is the string...

I recently purchased a 2014 NS A-375B Stratford prototype on Reverb from Acoustic Sales, Cordoba's direct sales to the public. When I opened the case I found the top cracked and the finish shattered right below the pick guard. At first I thought it may have been crushed in shipping but the box...

Howdy Friends, It’s come time to cull the herd and make way for some new fillies. Here’s the first one on block: Guild Newark Street X-175 in like new, excellent condition, barely played. I bought it new in early 2014 and have stored it in my guitar room in the case for the last 2 years...

Happy Thanksgiving! Yesterday the X-150 I purchased from Neal arrived. It's everything I had hoped for. And as a bonus today is my 58th birthday. My GF is baking me a cake, I'm off work, and enjoying a wonderful day in the Old Pueblo. So its a New Guitar Birthday. What could be better? Special...

Just picked up the guitar from GC. Condition is very good but I found 2 issues: someone had a different tailpiece installed and there are screw holes evident near the mount; the pickups are the Fender HB-1's and they honestly suck. I'll try to get some pictures posted shortly. The top on this...

My GAS radar was working extremely well today. I decided to pay a visit to Sticks & Strings to see if the guitar had come in, and there it was, fresh off the Fed-X truck. Tony thinks I've been stalking the store in wait, but I guess I just got lucky. First, the guitar is very light. I'm used to...

I ordered a concert ukulele as a gift for my adult son right before Christmas but due to the shipping fiasco at the time the uke did not arrive. As compensation the store owner offered to find me a better quality uke if I was willing to wait. I was waiting on my Newark St. X-175 at the time as...

After months of waiting my brand new Newark St. X-175 has arrived. I ordered through a small local dealer and he must be on the absolute bottom of Fender fulfillment list. Funny thing is the guy is selling Guild acoustics like mad. He sold 9 of them in the last 3 months. I saw him sell 2 on...

I have never owned a parlor size guitar, so when my search finally turned up this brand new 2010 GAD-F20 I jumped on it. The build quality of this little Chinese gem is outstanding. Now I need some playing time to see if I like it. I hope you enjoy the pics. [/URL] [/IMG] The Guild box...

Last week I posted a link to a Craigslist ad for a 1997 X-700 that has a cracked top. Today I am owner of this guitar (serial no.AK700159). The previous owner brought it over and I was hooked. He didn't look like the devil but he may have been. We ended up agreeing on $1000 in cash and my Fender...

After reading a few discussions on the forum regarding the quality of the GAD series and playing one (GAD-25M, now in my nephew’s possession), I decided to do some research on Chinese guitar manufacturing with the idea of having a custom guitar made. My research led me to the Bejing Yunzhi...

Last Friday was a special day indeed. The UPS delivery brought me a nice 1996 F-65CE all the way from Myrtle Beach, SC to sunny Tucson. I couldn't resist buying this guitar: The seller's price was ridiculously low and I had major GAS going for this model. The seller described the condition as...

I was in Phoenix yesterday on business and stopped by a pawn shop who had been running an ad on CL for this guitar: They were asking $599. I have the label which came off when I got it home. Its from 1988 (SN JF3000485) and stamped Jun 1988 on the neck block. The poor thing was not taken...

Today I purchased this guitar from a young man for $200. I had to inquire as to how it came into his possession and why he was selling. And this is what he told me: He was stationed in Iraq a few years ago and had left his only guitar back home. He was able to order this guitar ($550 w/ case)...
