Jon, funny you mentioned Rose Garden, my wife imagines that intro every time she walks into the room.

My first bar was an Ernie Ball and after a couple of years, I could feel grooves in it when I’d put a cloth on it and turn in my fingers. Weird thing was, the grooves were longways. Needless to say, ...

What kind of fuel do they take?

Happy Birthday Mr. Franklin! I spoke to you years ago over the phone when I was inquiring about a new guitar but you were backed up and about to retire as soon as the last one was completed. You talke ...

What I consider pay to play is supplying the food for a cookout and inviting my musician buddies over for a jam. I don’t partake nor condone playing pro bono anymore at venues that are profiting fro ...

Ask Tommy White how he does it, he’s a master at it. I typically use my index because it feels easier plus my middle is usually busier.

I’m with Dick. If it’s too hot to fish, it’s too hot to play outside!
Very Happy

Hi Erv, I sent you a pm regarding bullet cables if they are still available.

Wait till you put a 12" Quilter Cabinet on top of a 15" Quilter Cabinet... you'll be School-Girl Giddy Very Happy

I’ve never had a problem with them until recently. I put a set on and the high E was a dud. I’m going to contact Daddario and see if they’ll send another set. I ordered 3 sets and am curious abo ...

I like Kenny’s idea, except for the screw trick. You’d have to cut the protruding part of screw off to keep from snagging other strings. I like the clothes pin idea, I tried vice grips but they we ...

Not sure what they used in the older Walker seats, but I’ve had mine for about 10 years or so of heavy use and it’s as comfortable as the day I got it.

Thanks fellers, yes this is the original Ruby. I may keep her and save up for a new Emmons. Can’t have too many guitars.

Is Walker still in business? I have a Walker that I bought roughly 10 years ago or so and it’s the most comfortable seat I’ve ever had, and the foam feels like it did the first day I got it. This ...

The badge can be replaced with the sticker logo. If that’s what you’re talking about. If I lived near LA, ide check it out.

Here’s another from Buddy…

From: Buddy
Date: 12 Mar 2002
I have two Legrande lll models. I prefer the Emmons push pull sound but find the advantages of the all pull mechanism make up for the ...

I revisited the mid setting on my amp last night and it does seem to give the sound more breath. I was playing a pp through a toneblock 202 set at about 9-10 o’clock

Jeff, I agree with everything you said about Emmons and the tone. I got my first pp a few years back and ended up selling both of my all pulls, I now have 3 PPs and will never go back to anything else ...

He could be picking closer to the 12th fret, which gives a mellower tone for effect.

Anyone know if flags require a set screw in addition to the flag fastening screw? My lever has the threaded screw hole for flag and it looks like a tiny hole on the side for maybe a locking screw but ...

FYI, Some of those old songs aren’t exactly true to frets, not sure why unless they they juiced them in the studio. They’ll be a quarter step difference.
Also what Marco said. If you’re playing ...

Riley, apparently a few of these wound up in NZ.
