    Re: Gibson TG-50 Query for the Tenor Gurus

    That's useful, thank you.

    I think the Kalamazoo isn't helped by it's small vintage frets which are crowned quite low, a re-fret and a new nut cutting would probably make quite a difference. My new...

    Hi, quick question to those in the know – what's the neck profile like on TG-50s, specifically a 49 model?

    I have a very well preserved 36 Kalamazoo archtop tenor but I'm finding the v profile and...

    Re: new custom Apc guitar zouk

    Looks great, congratulations. It looks pretty wide, is it loud? I could do with zouk or OM with dreadnought like volume.

    I see hobgoblin also have them listed but no pic or info as yet.

  8. Re: 6-course Cittern or funny shaped 12-string guitar...?

    Well I now have a 12 string guitar unison strung like a bouzouki plus a high g and low D, DGDAdg.

    The GDAd sound good, like a guitar bouzouki unsurprisingly. The high g is a little weak in tone...

    I've currently got my carbon fibre 12 string guitar in with a tech being setup to be fully unison strung – like the Veillete Gryphon etc but full 25.5 scale.

    It's not a permanent plan for a 6...

    Yes just the pickup, I can't imagine the vocal mic was picking much if anything of the OM up. The room was quite echoey which is probably helping the realism.
