Still a good joke…

I use a baritone uke hard shell case for mine. A screwdriver to remove the accessory compartment and the neck support and Bob's Your Uncle! I put a pad on top because the case is too deep… the only ...

I agree with Nic on all that. Between the tone control and amp settings, I can usually get the Hawaiian sound I want. I was never successful with getting a sound I like with a Stringmaster, though. Fo ...

Great condition (a few surface scratches on the top) and in perfect working order. This one is U.S. made. Iʻll include either a Quilter Block Case (first generation, in used, but good condition) or a ...

Can’t wait!

I don’t need any, but I just wanted to say that Acri finger picks are my favorites these days! Somebody should snag 'em!

As another Alan Akaka student and Jules fanboy, I use this C13 primarily.

I finally forked out the dough for Band In a Box. I’m not competent with it yet, but have made a few backing tracks for practice and they sound great. It suits my purposes pret ...

It will be a string-through pickup with adjustable pole pieces, three per coil (the Valco string-through pickups have two coils).

Mike, I have 149G with the same appointments. Yours is cleaner, though! Classic guitars.

“… all come true”? Well, some, I suppose.

It was a thrill to drop in to see you last month and witness the remarkable progress you’ve made with the shop and the thousands of trees you’ve planted. You’re an inspiration as well as an outs ...

That maple bodied squareneck Tricone looks pretty nice. I wonder if it’s solid maple wood, veneer, or “photoflame”. I’ll be interested to hear impressions of these guitars.

Bob, my audiologist recommended those to me. With live gigging a possibility, I’d be interested In trying them too. They amplify when things are quiet and attenuate when things are too loud. Theoret ...

All the best on your journey, Mark. Thanks for all you’ve provided to me and to the community.

Nice job, John! Iâ€™ve always pictured an Irish bar in Waikiki called â€œLovely Houlihanâ€™sâ€, but thatâ€™s just the way my mind works Cool

I love my BlueChip thumb pick, but the blade is too long, so Iâ€™m on the Fred Kelly Slick Pick train right now. I havenâ€™t had the nerve to file down that expensive BlueChip.

Congrats, Carl! I have a dual pro D6 and a D8. Canâ€™t have too many! I think youâ€™ll love it.

Congrats,Pete. Youâ€™ll love it. I have the first Frypan he shipped.

Marc, it will be under one of the tuner pans. One day, while restringing, take off all eight strings and take a peek. I donâ€™t remember if mine was the inside or outside neck. â€œTGâ€ a ...

Congratulations! 1950 was a grand year. Iâ€™ve got her blonde sister.
