I have a lovely blond Doiuglas WNO, but the high E string seems to be too close to the end of the fingerboard, so that the string sometimes pulls over the edge around the 8th or 9th fret. I've adjusted the trapeze tailpiece, but over time the floating bridge creeps slightly, which I think is because...

Last night I sat in on a jazz gig with my new Monoprice amp—I was having some difficulty dialing in my tone, and in the light of this morning I figured out why … It appears there is no standard layout for EQ knobs on different brands of amp! My Fender Acoustasonic 40 is laid out L-R Bass, Mid, Trebl...

Washburn has some nice low-price acoustic/electrics, or you could take that money and get a Takamine with Cool Tube pre-amp—really good sound …

Yay! Got it figured out with help from Sweetwater and Ibanez—vintage Ibanez pedals take negative center power supply with positive tip 1'8" plug. Hooked it all up, fired it up … bliss! Next I'll try running it all through the effects loop, see how that might be different. The Hiree Power Supply...

Well, the 12” speaker wasn’t the epiphany I was seeking—flatter tone, doesn’t seem to match up as well with the Monoprice, or maybe needs to be run louder than convenient in my little music room … Overdrive seems functional enough, not much control over shaping the sound apart from gain and volume, ...

Sorry, no set list … we just take turns calling tunes, especially fun as the vocalist seldom sings in the same key as the fakebooks, it can be a real challenge

Como dicen en México—¡No mames, güey!

Played for two hours last night. Big echoey café, slightly out of tune upright piano, string bass, trombone, vocalist. The vocalist and I were the only ones amplified. Jazz, Brazilian, Swing, blues, etc. I had family out front who gave me good feedback on volume and balance, and one member who colle...

¡Todavía no! Es un poco complicado, no entiendo mucho de los asuntos electrónicos, pues ... ya estoy esperando unas respuestas de los amigos.

So, my VOX AD15VT died on me on a gig—kept cutting out, distorting and wild power fluctuations. It was a freebie, so no big deal—some of the presets weren't working, but it was okay for a practice amp. Wanting a cheap replacement, I came across the 5core 40W SS, with an 8"' speaker for $89 on s...

No response under Vintage pedals subforum, so trying it here … Am setting up a pedalboard for the first time in years—my problem is that while my Behringer Reverb and EQ pedals take a modern standard barrel jack, my Ibanez vintage 9v CP-835 Compressor and PT-909 Phaser have the old 1/8' headphone st...

So, I have a Fender Acoustasonic 40 amp which does a great job with my Takamine classical with the CTP3 preamp. The one thing it lacks is effects, other than reverb. It has a balanced XLR output, and I was wondering if there was a correct cable to connect to the 1/4 inch input on my Mustang III? The...

I use both the Guru fret file and his Dagger 2 crowning file—excellent tools …

To all Agfers old and new, a happy and safe holiday season! woke up at 3:30 this morning, couldn't get back to sleep for an hour so, passed the time penning the following … 🎼🎸🥁🎉 "T'is the season to be jolly, Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la, nitrocellulose or poly? Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la. Who s...

Happy to hear you're okay! I had a similar experience about 12 years ago, but ended up with a triple bypass ... so far, so good
Pretty nice Xmas gift, my man!

Those of you who read my “I’m back!” post a few weeks ago might recall that I put my ’51 Fender 5A3 TV front Deluxe up for sale. It sold last Saturday, store check for $3k arrived today. I bought it used in 1971 for $50 (about $360 in 2022 $$), so not so bad a profit, all things considered … I just ...

Well, guys, it's been a long time … Some of you may remember that about a year ago I was diagnosed with Stage 4 prostate cancer, and ended up in a wheelchair, playing a Córdoba Mini II classical guitar. Things have progressed well, I graduated to a walker which I still use some of the time, but main...

Thanks. Say, where are you in UK? I was born and grew up in Windsor, moved to London in '66, then to Seattle in late '69 …

Yeah, you’re right, it does shrink, even though it claims "non-shrinking " on the label … huh! The reason I went with it is that it’s water based, and I'm working on my dining room table, so want to avoid nasty fumes and such. Thanks for the advice. I think it'll do a satisfactory job, wil...

Anybody worked with this stuff? It's water based, and I believe it should be three parts dry filler to one part water … My friend gave me an old Aria flamenco guitar by Matsuoka, and it needs a little TLC. I've done a fret end filing, light recrowning and fret polishing, rolled the edges of the fing...

Have any of you worked with Gork's GoodFilla? A package of rosewood filler arrived today—seems like it might be 3 parts to 1 part water, how thick can it go on? The gouges on the side of the fretboard are maybe 1/8 to 3/16ths deep and about the same deep … I was thinking to overfill and then sand do...

Thanks for all the good wishes and the long distance support, good to know you're all out there. This is the only social thing I do online, and I couldn’t have found a better place …

Lucked out today on a really nice free small recliner from the Knights of Columbus charity—can play guitar in it, especially if I add an extra seat cushion … D455E43C-53EE-4E9E-86CE-A53666D4AF96.jpeg Also, the home workshop! Was kinda dark to put on new strings, so … :lol: 3A8D7E33-A009-4A06-983E-F7...

Well guys, long time no hear from me … My life took a major diversion a few months back—some of you may remember I was having an issue with bad leg and also BPH. After browbeating the doctor into getting me x-rays of my leg, it turned out I had stage 4 prostate cancer :shock: which had metastasized ...
