    JF-30 12 Questions

    That may be the JF30-12 I got from Preacher Bob, here at LTG. At the time I thought I might be over paying a bit for it. I don’t think that anymore. Concur. I keep, on occasion, wondering if I need them both, but the answer is I can’t possibly let either go. Might have to revisit that in...

    Neal; sorry to hear that. Will the surgery let you get back to the guitar?

    12-strings - what do you play on them?

    Only 12ers. Only thumb and fingers. Gordon Lightfoot, Harry Chapin, Bill Morrissey, etc. But, mostly my own stuff. For fun, here’s part of one; This guitar has twelve strings and it takes a while to tune, If I start right after breakfast, it might be ready by afternoon. I’ve gotta be twice as...

    Harp guitars - yea or nay?

    I can’t play Saxophone, piano, banjo, harmonica or rugby - but I admire the people who can and do. Yay or nay ? An emphatic yay for them, but a nay for me. I play guitar to support my lyrics…, About 5 years ago I wrote a song for my twelve string that had the following couplet; ”If I needed...

    What acoustic are you playing today?

    The JF30-12. (On the left, for anyone who didn’t recognize it instantly.) A bit of distortion in the photo makes the F-512 look smaller, but they are the same size. I only take one with me when we go to Vermont for 5-6 weeks. Had the F-512 up there for most of Sept and Oct. So the JF30-12...

    The only part of the table arraignment I take credit for is the plywood we used to make the table big enough fo nine.

    Sold 2021 Guild F-512

    Different strokes…. When I got my F-512, I then sold 4 other guitars I had; two six string and two twelve strings (Martins), because the F-512 (which I bought here at LTG) was almost all I played. Knowing what I know now, if I didn’t have an F-512 already, I would buy this guitar.

    AHG octave mando build

    Ah, the universal process ! The best way to find the strings you like, to decide on the lyrics that work, to decide exactly what instrument you prefer, to discover what works in love, marriage and war… Chris; I really like the “Acorn” headstock touch. It’s subtle, humble, suggestive and...

    Performers: How does your spouse/SO feel about your playing?

    Mrs Balderdash is fine with my playing for about an hour a day, as long as I do it in the barn, or quietly enough not to wake her between 5 and 7 AM. She did get a good laugh and a smile when I did one of my latest originals on the front porch for a neighbor, a song that I’ve titled; “At the...

    Drawer of the month

    After 6 months, some of us might not remember which drawers he’s already posted. 😉 Sort of like a Jeopardy rerun that you know you saw the first time, but can’t remember any of the questions or answers…
