Guitars.. What you got?

[VOLnMiami]

I'm leaning maple as well with the walnut top.. Nice contrast. I have no clue what body style to do.

Make it unique and different...Just draw some designs and find one you think is cool...I wish I had skills for making my own instruments.

Oh I can do some basic wood working, but this goes to my friend that builds them.. Here is the wood for body and neck. It is sapele. Thinking about a laminate piece of walnut for the headstock.

I found a cool app today. Fender Tune. I downloaded it but haven’t tried it out yet. Battery is dead on my clip on tuner.

Fender has a new clip on tuner that is rechargeable for under $20.

That’s a good app, I’ve been using the free version for a few years. Frustrated at having to pay to downtune so I bought a new MT60.

I have the classic rock set-up. Gibson Les Paul Classic (2000 model that I swapped out the bridge pick-up for a T-500 so it would sound like a standard/custom) and a JCM 900 Marshall full stack. The Les Paul Classic has a thinner neck on it than normal and your fingers can really fly on the fret board.

Better than G Strings?

I purchased a old Peavey Classic 20 amp today. Loud little thing.

Picked this up last week. If you're not into fingerstyle acoustic guitar, then you've probably never heard of Martin Simpson...but this guitar was built for and owned by Martin Simpson. He used it on part of his Rooted album. It's a Taran Tirga Mhor built by luthier Rory Dowling in Scotland.


Here's Martin with it.

How 'bout a demo of that Turner "T" back there?

Martin D-35

Got a pic? My next one will probably be a d-18, but I’m a big fan of most Martin guitars. I think the 35 backs look good

That's not me...that's Martin Simpson with the guitar I have.

Mama gave me a $100 in 83 for HS graduation...First thing I did was go buy me a 10W Peavey. I had an old crappy amp with a Little Big Muff Pi, but the saturation on this little thing changed my world.

My first “real” amp. I’m trying to track one down, along with a T-60.

Hope they get their ish together for such an iconic brand

What's the one tip you'd give a total novice for playing?

A good setup from a qualified repair facility.

What's the one tip you'd give a total novice for playing?

Initially learn to play songs that aren’t your favorites. You’ll get tired of playing them (poorly) so might as well wear out something middling.

Play scales. Got to get the fingers doing what the brain wants them to do.
