  3. Re: AI and music: Billie Eilish, Sheryl Crow and Jon Bon Jovi

  7. Re: Article: Calton and Hoffee: The Top Two Names in Custom Cases

    I think the competition ante was raised when Crossrock added carbon fiber cases to their lineup. Two small makers facing a larger competitor perhaps.

    Love my 2 Hoffee cases.

    Re: Why do you play electric?

    On an acoustic with a pickup, I like the ability to be louder while maintaining a lite touch. But on the hollow body with a humbucker, I like the soft, sustained jazzy tone that is so reminiscent of...

    Re: string dampeners?

    Two years on strings is at least 18 months too long, assuming you actually play the instrument regularly, imho.
