I got a Boulder CB-362 for my Gretsch Boxcar. Fits nicely, lots of pockets, just fine for hand-carrying the guitar around.

Added closeups of pickup, serial number, and patent number.

My mnemonic for standard guitar tuning is ee-ad-gubby.

It's just another open tuning - Em11 (omitting the 9th).

TTT just in case anyone might be interested.

What string gauges would you recommend for a Martin 0-18KH? I'd like to try it in C6th.

14 frets to body, 25" scale, nut 1 3/4", bridge 2 1/4", weight 4.4 lbs. Mahogany nec ...

Many thanks!

Does anyone have recommendations for lap steel recordings in open D? That is, DADF#AD low to high.
Thinking primarily in terms of electric lap steel, although weissenborn or other acoustic guitar wo ...

Many thanks!

Thanks! However ... assuming a guy couldn't afford to buy every Alfred Apaka release (at this point in time): are there any that you would particularly recommend to such a person (to start with)?

Hi, I'm looking for recordings by the great Jules Ah See. I know he worked with Alfred Apaka - but amazon.com (for example) lists 59 Apaka recordings avilable. Can anyone narrow it down and recommen ...
