I should run over to Palo Alto and play her. She's pretty.

He just could do no wrong. His humor is so good too.

Get your hands on Southeastern. Do yourself a huge favor! That song is from a newer record, but Southeastern is his best imho.

God, I love that man and his songs. RIP Blaze and his Duct Tape Suit.

@dreadnut It's a '76 D35. I've tried lots of new strings. I've used Martin 80/20, PB, Monel... DR Rare and Sunbeams... Daddario 80/20, NB, and PB... all in several different gauges. Tried Ebony bridge pins, bone pins. I think maybe what I like in a guitar has changed in the five years I've...

I've fallen out of love with my Westerly Guild. 😦😦😦 At the beginning of the year, I sold several of my non-Guilds in order to purchase a used 80s Taylor dread I found for a steal locally. It's a fantastic guitar. Sounds just like a classic d18. Pretty perfect for me. Now, I've always though...

A D-25M, An F-20, or an M-20.

Yeah, I'd probably stick with Dunlops if they made a Bluegrass set, but sticking with them means I'd have to buy a set of 12s and a set of 13s every time I change strings. I find that on my D35, 12s don't quite have enough umph on the low end, but that the high end loses its shimmer on the 13s...

For the past few years I've been using Dunlops and using either 12s or 13s. Idk if my ear has changed, but I'm liking them less and less. Looking at changing. SO... What are you using? Brand? Gauge? What do you like about them.

Steve, those are awesome guitars! Th at Del Vecchio looks like a really interesting instrument in general.

I wish I had money, but alas, it's the end of the year, the end of the semester, and my funds have dwindled. Lol. I love the understated look of the 15. Thanks for the pics of the 17. That is a gorgeous instrument.

Dave was the real deal. I wish I would have known of him when he was still around. Great video!

That's incredible. Absolutely gorgeous.

I'm resurrecting this thread cuz I think its interesting. I've had two "cheap" guitars that I loved. The first was the first guitar I bought with my own money. It was a 70s Takamine "Lawsuit" guitar. Sounded great, but always needed work. And, boy, did I ever beat that thing up. It's been...

Hello fellow PNWer! What kind of opinions are you looking for? I think that it's awesome you found it in such great shape. That's not a bad deal either. You should definitely play it everyday. They were meant for that.

I played a few Arcos dreads in a local store back when they came out. I thought they played and sounded great, but the shop sent about six of them back to the manufacturer because necks hadn't been dried out properly and when they hit the dry air of Idaho... well bad things happened. If they're...

I'm going to call back to earlier in this thread with people comparing the price of the D-40 Traditional to the Standard D-18. I don't think this is a fair comparison. Comparing the D 40 Natural to the D-18 would be fair since they have similar specs and are the first step up from the all...

He's one of my favorites. I've been really partial to the Americana-y stuff he did in the last decade or so, but everything he writes is gold. Dirty Blue Jeans and Mudslide Hyms is my favorite album by him.

Man, what I wouldn't give to meet Kris.

He did a terrible job. He scuffed up the neck, it needs a new fretboard eventually now, etc. This guy was supposed to be legendarily good. He had amazing vintage guitars, new several of Guilds founders before they started it, etc. Quite a guy, but he ruined my prized guitar.
