Many of us talk about culling our guitar herd to a reasonable number of guitars but have difficulty following through with it. That's me. My friend stopped by to look at a Taylor guitar I was thinking about selling, and I jokingly asked him if he would consider making me an offer for everything...

I have been prone to pneumonia (sometimes on a yearly basis) for as long as I can remember, and not so sure moving to a dryer more arid environment like the southwest will be of any benefit to me. Has anyone here made that kind of a move to deal with long-term health/lung issues? TIA, Tommy

I am trying to put together two-day or three-day "go-packs" for my family. We are all up there in age, and can't be humping it with A.L.I.C.E. packs, M-16s, grenades, etc. like I did in my youth. I am thinking aside from the content of the "go-packs" we are still going to need individual...

Taylor's new 12-strings use a 6-pin system. My understanding is that this was done to accommodate the narrowness of their new V-Class Bracing at the bridge plate. In any case, I stumbled across this bridge pin set-up from a 1915 Holzapfel. 1915! Understandably, there are a lot of differences in...

This might be old news to some of you, but for me, this is new. Have any of you had any experience with Taylor's 6 hole, 12 string guitar bridge? The saddle looks a bit unconventional too. Its thickness is needed to set the string spacing. I love my old mid 90s Taylor 555 12 strings, but this...

I am looking for a light-duty rechargeable hand drill for around-the-house repairs. Preferably one with a built-in adjustable clutch. Any recommendations? TIA Tommy

OK so as part of my getting healthier in 2022..... I'm prone to pneumonia due to the humid environment and my pulmonologist advised me to have a professional recheck my home's AC system. As he feels AC is probably one of the most overlooked items on the quarterly checklist. Sure enough, the AC...

Any plumbers here? I have bathtub with a water leak that is dripping from the handle. The problem is that the water is leaking past the o-ring seal. The new replacement RP17400 cartridge made things worse! I notice that the o-ring on the new RP17400 cartridge is smaller and more flimsy than the...

In my townhouse, I only have a recirculating exhaust hood and we are not allowed to duct/vent to the exterior. I also don't have cross ventilation so that doesn't help either. I currently turn off the air conditioner and open the windows prior to and after cooking. Any suggestions on how to...

Not sure if it's 2022 or 2023? In any case, would you like to see another acoustic anniversary guitar, or is it time for a hollow body electric as an anniversary guitar? Or should Guild hold off and wait for its 75th Anniversary? I've thought about it a lot but still don't know which model I...

I decided to pick up one of the highly regarded Kelly Slick Picks to compare it to my go-to Dunlop Medium White. Sound - It's a draw. For me and my old ears, it is a draw as there are very slight differences between the two materials but not enough for me to recommend one over the other...

re: New Hartford F-30 Standard and F-30R Standard. I replaced the original plastic truss rod covers quite a while ago with real ebony, and only now notice the sticker on the backside of the original plastic truss rod cover. This might be old news to some.

In the past I have used my Dremal tool, Dremal buffing disk, and taped all my frets to prevent any of the liquid MAAS polishing compound (applied very very sparingly) from getting onto the fretboard. The down side to this approach is the possible overheating of the frets and tape if the frets...
