    Finally - an update to my DV74 NGD

    After an excruciating (for me) delay in the time it took to get back my freshly setup DV 74, last week I finally got it back. Seems that the end of winter brought out area musicians in droves to get work done on their guitars, and the folks at Restoration Guitar have been busier than (as it was...

    Dark Side Of The Sun?

    Actually, Rich, I believe "full eclipse" ( if you are referring to the period of totality) was 2-3 minutes +/-. Even if talking entire period, not a problem.

    So a fifty-five year old D40 walks into a bar....

    "Dude" is Jake Dyer, and he is an amazingly talented vocalist and multi-instrumentalist. When Jake shows up and you ask him to sit in on your set, it raises the level of your performance about 110 percent: Lately, the kid on the mandolin has been showing up, and he ain't too shabby either...

    So a fifty-five year old D40 walks into a bar....

    ... actually it was a music cafe's weekly open mic. This weeks host (different area musicians rotate through hosting here every week) showed up with a 1969 Hoboken D 40E that had been posted about here on LTG a few years back and verified by Hans and Ralf. The thread also sparked a discussion...

    1975 Guild F-212 Makeover

    Bet what you could come up with with a wood inlay would be striking. Just think, decades from now there would be a heated discussion of whether or not that guitar was the storied "Cozad F 212 makeover" and the wood inlay will verify it. 👏 Loving this entire thread!

    This will put your "crazy" guitar collecting in perspective.

    ...But...but, those DVD's were: "Made to be played" :cry::cry::cry::cry:

    Leonard Cohen.... that's all....

    I've been been doing "Tower of Song" as part of my set list recently. Always liked his observation: "There is a crack in everything - that's how the light gets in."

    NGD 1995 D-55

    Looks like a great D 55. If you don't play way up the neck, a fret level up there should do the trick. Beautiful rosewood on that back. Enjoy!

    String change, end of an era?

    Have been using Opti-Visors with #3 lenses since I started carving birds the '70's. there's a pair in the wood shop and another in the painting studio. An absolute must to avoid eye strain and see my workpieces even when I was a a lot younger. Can't imagine doing the work I do without them...

    Your First Motion Picture Seen

    Think it might have been in the mid to late 50's when the1930's version of "KING KONG" aired on WOR's (NYC) great old show: Million Dollar Movie. Anyone who grew up in NY remember watching movies on Million Dollar Movie? I also remember loading up on candy from the corner store before going to...

    Guitar Sizes

    No, Sandy, That's just a picture of George with the prototype S-24 Kim referred to. I added it to my file containing any info on the guitar that I've accumulated. Most likely it is from pictures posted on LTG back when all of you made that visit.

    Guitar Sizes

    Like the rest of you , I have never seen any reference to an S-60. I do have one of the few Studio 24's that I have seen in what amounted to a pretty extensive search of the net in the years leading up to my lucking into it in 2013. After receiving it, I had a dual K&K system installed ( Pure...
