    My Guild D50 tobacco burst

    Beautiful guitar and great shots. Not sure if I've seen a burst D50 before, because I don't remember being as envious as I am now. :p What year is it?

    Noise canceling headset?

    I find the boom mic to pic up a lot of breathing noise. If your looking for smallish form factor, you might want to consider earphones, assuming you can use bluetooth. I really like the Jabra Elite 85t - I use them for work, walking, listening to music. I bought a refurbished pair and been...

    Buying used (online), what are your personal rules that guide you?

    Regarding the shipping charge, the only way I've gotten around it is if the guitar is seriously damaged in transit, or if I've had it shipped to the store and there's a obvious condition experience from what was described. That said, it's usually under $30 and I'm usually willing to pay it if...

    Tony's Acoustic Tuesday features Guild

    Whenever I see someone gigging with a Guild and mention it, their eyes widen and they smile - "You know Guilds?" We are absolutely a cult. Well informed and discerning, but a cult nonetheless.

    Nice Memorial Article on Eva Cassidy

    A breathtaking singer. And her playing doesn't get mentioned nearly enough, nor her compositional skills. She makes every song sound like she owns it. I remember the first time I heard "Kathy's Song" on Pandora in 2002 and was stopped in my tracks. "Who is that?" Nice to read about the mural -...

    How many cups of coffee you all at a day?

    Excerpted from "Stress", a song by Jim Infantino: I'm trying to cut down on my caffeine consumption So when I get up I just have one cup of coffee And I like to have another cup of coffee with my breakfast And on the way to work I like to get a cup of coffee Like the kind of cup of coffee that...

    Your first "real concert"

    Sting, Worcester Centrum, 1985. Dream of the Blue Turtles Tour, and the band was fantastic.

    Bill Russell dies at 88. 13 time NBA champion

    I think this is such a great stat that I wanted to make a minor correction (based on a few different sources) - he was 21-0 in Game 7s, 1-0 in a winner-take-all Game 5 (so, 22-0 in winner take all) and 28-2 in elimination games (one of those 2 losses with a badly sprained ankle). Off the court...

    Let's see your stools. Here's mine and why I hate it.

    No doubt they're pricey, but I've spent a lot more on gear that I've used a lot less than the soundseat. I look at it as an upgrade to all my guitars. I looked at the roc n soc as well, but figured I'd still want the soundseat. Basically I spent a lot of time rationalizing it before I made...

    Let's see your stools. Here's mine and why I hate it.

    Good for you. I found that calling them was easiest if you have any questions. I went for the flex back, foot ring, and foot plate - happy with all my decisions. I can't remember what I got for the gas lift, but that's what I wound up calling for. Casters were the right choice for me too, but it...

    Let's see your stools. Here's mine and why I hate it.

    I broke down and ordered one of these a couple of years ago and never regretted it. I figured for the amount of time and money I spend playing, it makes no sense to do so in pain from a hard stool. I'd highly encourage you to bite the bullet - the sooner you order one, the more time you'll have...

    NGD! Westerly D25 in tobacco burst

    I have the same year, same model and same burst (my favorite). Put a K&K mini in there and use it as my back-up/open mic/general purpose workhorse. Fantastic guitar - congrats!

    Do You Remember Your First Pedal?

    1985 Tube Screamer - the guy who sold it to me is now a friend. Sadly, he's closing his business next month.

    Thoughts on Martin Custom Shop Guitars

    Congrats on the D-18C, Richard! I assume when you say Custom Shop labeling, you're referring to a batch of guitars ordered from the shop by a vendor and not a custom order from an individual. Please correct me if I'm wrong. I think ordering a custom guitar from Martin in order to get the specs...
