Got me a Lakota strap as well, a capo, and a Snark tuner.

My father is currently in possession of all of those vintage goodies that belonged to my Grandfather....

Those are decent looking for the price.

Harbor Freight sell those very same ones, I looked at them in store.
Unevenly ground, coarsely ground at that.
These would take quite a bit to bring them up to a professional level of sharpness....

Well now... I think I just found a New use for mine!

Been unseasonably warm here in New England.
Was 60F and sunny yesterday.
Today is a little more seasonable at 40F but the sun is shining and the ground is bare.

I would LOVE to be able to walk in to a shop and just purchase whatever tickles my fancy that day.
But when one lives on a fixed income, as I do at the moment,
I have to pick( Womp Womp ) and...

I have two.
The Ruby Screamers have a very smooth edge, are a bit more tonally warm with lots of slick roll off.
The Pearl Screamers will give you a little more bite, and brightness, but also has a...

V picks are Lexan IIRC ( AKA, bullet proof "glass") and like 5 bucks a pop...
Also VERY wear resistant, I have been MAULING the two I have between Guitar and Mando the last six months, and they are...

I think that is indeed what I was driving at hence the inclusion of the EJ Video.;)
Also the other two major producer at the moment make an incredible product as well.
But that's neither here nor...

Yeah just go look at the new Roland Blues cube online.
EJ is dyed in the wool Plexi man....

Sorry for steering things OT, BACK TO PICK GUARDS.....

I have an SN-14 on my wish list for Christmas this year.
Opinions?Yea, or nay?

Well my 2 cents:
If you play with a destructive technique and don't use a guard,
you have NO ONE to blame but yourself.

I have left the Scratch Guard on my vintage mando, just for that reason, ...

1920-1938
I have a midrange model from that era (Profile pic, and full size pix in the community), IMO the best ones are from the earlier years.
IIRC they all came out of one shop in NYC during...

I saw those, found them intriguing.
But I do have my heart set on an F body, regardless of which family member I choose.

A Cow Punk Project dubbed "The Dukes of Haggard"
;)
And transition is fairly easy for me as I play guitar, bass, mando, and I switch back and forth between scale lengths on my six's, and when I am...

Indeed, I will be playing every last note I can get out of it...
I am making the switch mainly due to back issues.
As for style, I am an old Punk that grew up on Old school Country, and traditional...

Yeah I have my Grandmothers Mando(in my profile pic)
I do love it, but I love the sound of Octave, and M/Cellos.

Hey folks,
been a hot minute since my last posting, but I have been lurking and looking over my options as to future purchases.
I have narrowed it down to a Weber, but I am stuck on deciding on...

The whole "Pickin' on" series is freakin' great!
Pickin' on the 80's is my personal fave.

I recently found a ten dollar bill I had forgotten I had stashed in my wallet,
so I grabbed a couple V picks, A small pointed ruby for mandolin, and a medium pointed pearly gates for guitar,
just...

I've been in that band!

I play mine like a person whose primary instrument is guitar,
If someone came up to me and tried to correct my "improper" technique, they would get an ear full(to put it mildly).

if you can play,...

Stunning.
