Re: Guitar food groups and must try guitar sounds

Two of my Three Strats are Lace equipped and all of my guitars and basses have flatwound strings. I live on my neck pickups and I know its weird, but I have never been happy playing anything using the bridge pup. I guess I don't fit with trebly tones. Gimme the smooth. Caveat - I don't use effects, ...

Re: Swapping different fretted necks on a Start

I would check that scale length is identical, then bridge adjustment should not be a problem.

Cheapo Rhythm axe for 3 fingered Rog

https://photos.google.com/photo/AF1QipOtdVsQhd3j1eDSvAO7M_3yfu1P3o62PZXa25u3 I have only three bendable fretting fingers and playing my normal sized guitars on rhythm all night can be tiring at times. So I bought myself a Squier Mini Strat, but found the pups to be way too strident for my old ears. ...

Re: Anyone like bass guitars?

BG, I used to use ONLY 1 plucking finger per string as a practice tool. It taught me a lot. Try it sometime - feels weird at first, then become natural.

I bought an Annapurna jacket in Nepal. Lovely warm snow jacket. As for your pedal - I like it!

Quick string review acoustic.

Since I have a munted fretting hand, string selection is rather important to me. For me, easy playing wins the day. I also do not like trebly/twangy strings, which is why I only use flats on my electrics. With my new Tak I got today, it was supplied ex factory with D'addario EXP16 (12-53). These are...

Re: Slimline acoustic-electric NGD

NGD: My lovely brand new Takamine TSP138C N arrived today. Really loving the thinline. Excellent build quality. Made in Japan. Fits perfectly, light as, sounds great. 42mm nut, which is important to me for ease of playing with my munted hand. I've also bought a little wireless set so I can wander up...

Re: Slimline acoustic-electric

Cheers, BG. However I have sold a Strat today so have some money to put towards a new gat. When I sell the Maton, I'll have enough $$ to look at a Takamine TSP138CN.

Re: Slimline acoustic-electric

A friend in UK has suggested an Ibanez AEWC32 as the right guitar. I can't find anyone in NZ selling them. Do you know anything about this model?

Re: Slimline acoustic-electric

There’s a Yamaha APX 600 on trade me at the moment, and the CSF1 sounded pretty nice too. Thanks for that, yoggo. It looks interesting and the reviews are quite good. I like that it is suitable for electric players to move to easier. I think Music Works are the Yamaha agents and there is one in New...
