Been a minute since I have been on here. Been traveling quite a bit for work. For Christmas my beautiful wife had a ring made for me to that has a guild headstock and neck. Here are a couple of pics. This guy does really nice work. He works for Atlas Jewelers in Michigan. She said he was great...

So I have been hankering to make a Christmas-themed Stratocaster. In my mind's eye I saw Sherwood green. My pocket book saw, hard to find and pretty expensive. Not to mention hard to find one I could mod or even find a body that was already sherwood green at the time. I was going to buy a blank...

Just struck a really nice deal on a B-stock from ProAudioStar / Reverb. Looking forward to receiving it!!! I have seen these a few times over the last couple of years. Just a very deluxe SFII IMO. Ebony board, Hog body, Chesterfield stock, Gold open back tuners / hardware and what I'm most...

I am not a luthier. Early next week I am going to look at a 2016 Gibson HB Pro. Yes you read me correctly - still not sold on Gibsons completely. The guy had it listed for $1250 and I offered a chunk lower contingent upon my looking it over and playing it. He accepted. Here are pics. In true...

Okay, so I just pulled the trigger on this one. Price with tax and shipping came in at just over $700... I went back the other day to buy @twocorgis DCE3 but he had sold it! I love mine but I was told by a trusted luthier that the action is not able to be fixed without a major neck block repair...

Here is a thread with photos I posted right after I bought it back in the Fall. She is as beautiful in person as the pictures represent. https://www.letstalkguild.com/ltg/index.php?threads/just-bought-this-from-an-ltger-very-excited.213326/ I opened this bad boy as a Christmas gift. I got busy...

I picked this up off of Craigslist for $300 yesterday. I have been hankerin' for a jazz box / rockabilly type hollow body. I almost pulled the trigger on Bonedigger's X-175, but was just a couple of hundred out of budget. So I kept looking. I also wanted something I could mod / tinker with a...

Over the last few months, I have played several of these at the various DFW Metroplex guitar centers and I have continued to be blown away. Every Epi j-45 I have picked up is set up perfectly ( for my standards ). I have played a few Gibson J-45's over the years and I think these actually feel...

Been over a month since my last entry. I was locked out - my fault - because I have changed jobs and the account was linked to my former email address - couldnt remember password etc.. So, Gary to the rescue and here we go. So, I picked this up in a trade with a guy here in Rockwall who was...

Okay I'm thinking the following specs: Mahogany top Spruce Back Arched Spruce Sides Micarta bracing Maple bridge and fretboard ( for contrast to the top ) Who is with me???? We'd call it the reverse dreadnaught.

I just made an offer on this and it was accepted. I bought it from Grassdog ( LTG'er ). I am super pumped. I am going to do NGD around the holidays as this is my christmas present. I am going to check it when it arrives to make sure it came in one piece and then keep it safely humidified until...

There are a lot of guitar experts here who understand fully the different tone woods and the characteristics often associated with those woods. Here is a great video that covers off on this topic for those who are just getting into guitars and how they are built. They are playing guitars from...

I know I have had some strong opinions about Gibson, but to my ears when listening to this clip through headphones. That Gibson is sounding lush. Maple goodness. Making my Maple jumbo GAS flare up... Also, Larry Sanders was a great show. Super funny and ahead of its time in many ways. Artie (...

The city of Rockwall hires me a few times a year to play the San Jacinto Music Series in downtown. Pay is good, crowd is good and tips are good. I had my D-35 in full force and I had a Fishman SA220 as my PA. This little line array PA is absolutely killer. I would recommend this for the solo...

Okay so I had sold my Corona JF30 and my Eastman AC122 to cover some bills and fund some new purchases in the last couple of months. The AC122 was the bigger loss of the two oddly enough. Just a super fun little box to play and will probably upgrade to an AC322 or better when the time is right...

Just a quick note that I will be at NAMM in a vendor capacity setting up for a client and will be there through first show day, 06/03. I will get over to the Cordoba booth. I will get some pics and report back on anything newsworthy. This is my first time. I am super excited.

Okay so I have some shows lined up where I will putting my Guilds through their paces. Here is the lineup: 03/12 - Woofstock ( dog event hosted by the city of Rockwall, TX ) - Harry Myers Park - 10am - 1pm 04/08 - Cookston Music Series - Cookston Square / Dowtown Royse City, TX - 7pm - 9pm...

Pretty fun night last weekend playing music at 12 Stories coffee in downtown Farmersville, TX. My oldest Luke ( looking super enthused :) ) is on the djembe.

I bought this back in September for a really good price. It has a lot of play wear on the body. It has the MIRC serial number, but I am pretty sure it was built in 2002 in Corona. Lots of saddle. Action is pretty nice. Slight belly beneath the bridge. Big sound as you would imagine. I love the...

So for Christmas my wife bought be a used lake placid blue MIM strat body from 2010 for about $125. It has a few bumps and bruises which bothered me none. I went on to reverb and found a neck maker out of Michigan - Howell Guitar - who makes what I now know are killer strat and tele necks for an...
