Any of you ever boiled old guitar strings in vinegar to bring back and almost new sounding strings? Lots of folks didn't have the money or accessibility to get new strings. I had a friend who did this but I didn't/don't know enough to say it works or not?

Growing up on a rural farm in middle Tennessee, I didn't see many movies. But the small town nearest me, Erin, had a small theater. My older brother who was married and had two children knew about such "worldly" things and informed me they were going to see a movie after church on Sunday and...

Just bought a Genz Benz Shenandoah 100 Acoustic Amp. Had a GB 60 and liked it and when this one came up I got a couple opinions that I value and bout this one. I do like it.

I remember they had some "catchy" jingles. I will start it off and someone else finish it. Then the finisher start another one. I will start it of with: You'll wonder where the yellow went

Anyone been in contact with Cynthia (Opsimath) in last three weeks? Dec 9th last time she as been on. Hoping she is just taking a break during the Holidays. PMed her and no response, yet.

Cleaned 8 Sauger and 1 Walleye and put 17.9 gallons of gas in my truck for 70 cents. Had $2.50 off per gallon.

I love to fish and the winter is when I fish for Sauger (one of best eating fish IMO). Was rigging up a few Sauger jigs with trailers and I like to push trailer up to edge of jighead and put a drop of super glue on trailer head to keep it from slipping. Usually wear thin rubber gloves but not...

I stumbled on him by accident. Some or many of you may be familiar with him -- I wasn't. If you Google "Marcelito Pomoy The Prayer" you will be amazed. I do not have the capability to download or I would. Hope you aren't to busy to make your heart smile.

This was found in the woods in 1953 on farm in rural Tennessee by a wonderful old friend of mine. From 1953 until 2011 it sat in his basement and each year he would say, "we're gonna get that old engine going. " At 86 years old, he fell and broke a hip and never revived - his wife had passed a...

I am selling my 2013 12 fret Orpheum to purchase another guitar. I will be keeping the 14 fret Orpheum because I got it from a close friend. The 12 fret is right there with the 14 fret in sound, playability, and condition. It is in excellent condition and in its original case. If you would...

Thought I would pose the question here. I believe research indicates the Orpheum was Ren Ferguson's brain child of what Guild might have built in the 30s, if they had been around, to compete with Martin and Gibson? My question is - what were the designers and builders thinking in the late 90s...

Was bass fishing last week and didn't do much good fishing but scenery was awesome. And at right of picture you can see the barge this cruise ship/boat just passed. River not 300 yards wide.

Gonna put in a plug for my good friend's daughter who will appear in the "Blind Audition" round of The Voice tonight on NBC. Her dad is the old tire changer who is sooo kind to my friend Johnny G. Her name is Laura Littleton and she is a kind and wonderful person who loves to sing. She has no...

Did Guild ever use Barcus Berry electronics in any D25s - a friend discovered his D25 has one. I thought they were involved in Violin electronics not guitars..

Growing up on a farm in rural Tennessee, we milked our 4 Jersey cows by hand, churned our own butter, and made our own buttermilk. One of many things I miss is Cornbread and buttermilk - fill a glass about half full of cold buttermilk and crumble up cornbread in it. Would eat it with a spoon...

Any members around Lake Forest, Ca? Need opinions on "Rare Guitar Gallary" and your impression of it. Are their descriptions accurate? May be interested in an acoustic they have - just waiting on promised pictures. Will wait a couple days before I look elsewhere. Thanks

I have been attempting to play a guitar for four years and with Covid and my guitar teacher passing, I have played alone. I get the feeling I have developed some bad habits. Instead of bass strum strum I might bass, down strum, and then up strum. Thinking I might need to try and strum along...

Wound up at an an auction yesterday with a friend who was looking for antique pocket knives and got there early enough to look around. To my surprise, I discovered 6 acoustic guitars and I judged two to be vintage by the 3 on 1 tuners. I could find no writings on the tuners - maybe knowledge...

Looking to buy a quality set of on ear headphones and would like your recommendations. Assume (and that would be a correct assumption) that I know the minimum about headphones. But I do know I want good ones. Thanks for your suggestions

The story I was told by a seller is that he has a 2014 D55 that had checked finish when it came off the factory line in New Hartford and never offered to the public. Says he bought it at at internal employee sale and has been the only owner. It is a tobacco burst and very tempting - no trades...
