BEAST!
Lovely :)
oh they had one for ages - but not any more!
Ashbury can be quite variable in terms of playability. But had I spotted this earlier Bill, I'd have been happy to trial one for you as I'm in the UK near a Hobgoblin store.
That said, I totally...
meh. i sense the WE fretboard spec isn't dying any time soon :(
I struggled enough teaching my slightly dyspraxic brain to restring on the mandolin's waverlies, without adding banjo tuners to the mix :)
But I honestly prefer the aesthetic of "normal" tuners -...
Hi mate
Wasn't that, but maybe the same guy - while back!
Let's face it - people have been modding the fender teles with string trees etc and pickup swapping is soooo normal.
And you're spot on...
well actually, if you take my (and I know they aren't cheap) AER Compact 60.3 - that does have a mic input on the second channel, but it's a dual use, as the normal jack socket is in the middle - and...
great thanks Verne, I really appreciate it
hey man thanks for that. Wondering whether to find one over here (UK) and give it a trial. I don't get feedback that often on the K&K, but I don't need all the mandolin anymore as I really only play...
Hey Verne, so compared to a K&K equipped acoustic thru a PA how'd you think this'll stack up? I seriously have been considering selling my f5 for cost reasons and replacing with the ERM
You see...
it is to my considerable shame that i didn't get a 2nd hand clark gbom which came up not once but twice in the UK at Tamco - I had the readies & I panicked both times
Mind you now I'm pretty much...
I have an occasionally problematic memory due to leaving my anaemia too long undiagnosed; makes it hard to get certain concepts too, but in the main, things like the calipers are great for me because...
if the current set on the guitar are good for you, why not get a set of digital callipers (with the screen) to measure the gauges, from Amazon or something - they are not expensive and useful for bad...
Yeah I always think you need something pretty decent to make CGDA not sound too plinky - GDAE is a very forgiving tuning. Just my opinion not necessarily a fact :)
Other members have, but I personally haven't. I've heard decent reports :)
Ps musically, if we all arrived fully formed would it be as much fun? Learning & exploring - that's my idea of fun!
So.... I have actually had a try of this guitar.
I'm really sorry I don't have decent pic (since this damn browser won't let me upload) or sounds, but as it's a prototype... seems unfair on the...
Hm.
It's hard for me to get excited by buying unseen when, if I want a decent reasonable tenor, there's hobgoblin music up the road from me. Interesting though!!
ok just that i use GDAE on all my 23" tenors.
i'd go CGDA on short scale as Fox says.
plectrum length - never had one :)
Verne are you suggesting 23" scale isn't good for fifths??! When did that happen? :)
I wish they did have a little competition though.
I picked up the WE 2p the other day... and nope... I just cannot bond with that wide neck. I get that it's cost effective for them to build this...
Makes you realise how desperate some are to get a vintage Martin.
I don't even play mine - but at least it doesn't have "a custom soundhole" - well not since one of its cracks got repaired :))
...
Nice one Pete. Always good to do such a thing.
lovely isn't it. i saw that on instagram yesterday.
they're thinner tops than the etg150 right? (for obvious reason, the etg is electric so has a thick old top!)
