That song still brings tears to my eyes. A friend of mine was Bryan's drummer for the better part of 30 years.

Cheap strings. I replaced the 3 bass strings with D'Addarios. Contrary to advice, I tied a knot at the bridge end rather than the luthier's knot. My feeling was that too many knots will cause too much instability. This comes from my old sailing days: Tie a simple, sturdy knot. I did follow...

Plastic, and they are chamfered. 45 degrees by eye.

I'll need to dig into the mechanics before I know what's going on. I think I know where to go from here. Thank you, gentlemen. I only want to do this once, so I will use all your suggestions. Thanks

Thanks for the vote of confidence, but no, I really didn't know. I will say that I was close, but not exactly. I missed the second tail loop at the bridge. Same with the loop at the post. I didn't make a loop. Thanks very much for the tutorial! Much obliged. Granny? Grandpa if you please...

Woke up to another broken string. This time the A. It seems that the strings are breaking at the winding post. I checked for sharp edges but they are beveled. Maybe a little sandpaper to add a bit more relief. I looked at GOTOH machines and they look identical to what is on there now. They are...

Rinse and repeat (y) I do that as a matter of course. And, no, that is not the reason that the D string broke! :ROFLMAO: What I find mildly interesting is that I previously had a Godin nylon. Absolutely gorgeous guitar, but the nut was about 2 inches. Way bigger than my arthritic fingers could...

That's about how long I've had it.

I just bought a Harley Benton Thinline Nashville Nylon guitar. The tuning machines are 18:1 typical open back. All but one of the strings (the D string) are original to the guitar. I had to replace the D. I replaced it with a D'Addario Pro-Arte. normal tension, .029" (0.74mm). My question is...

I worked for 10 years for a company that make the printheads used to "print" the designs you see on signs, posters, window blinds, tile, even bedding. They also made the printheads that are used in 3D rapid prototype machines. Amazing technology.

Of course it's veneer. It's pretty obvious that it's 2 pieces. Same with my Epi LP. It's a cherry 'burst maple veneer split down the center.

I did :P I wanted a PRS and fell in love with the looks.

My PRS. SE Custom 24 Semihollow with a piezo saddle pup. Indonesian. Lovely guitar. That's a stock photo, but a photo of mine. 8-)

Totally forgot, but I just got a Harley Benton Nashville. Really nice thinline nylon with a smallish nut. Nice fit for my hands. It's Chinese by way of Germany. Aside, a friend of mine bought a HB Resonator a while ago. Also Chinese. He loves it.

I know this post is about Chinese guitars, but I have a particular place in my heart for Korean Epiphones. I have 5 that I can put my eyes on. They are all gorgeous, sound great and are a joy to play. This topic is kinda like comparing UK, Canadian and USA girls. Doesn't matter where they were...

I have 2 Fireflys that are as good as anything. The "335" is the Firefly. I replaced the Asian pups with a pair of Seymour Duncan Custom Customs. I used it yesterday to record some stuff with my friends. The "SG" is also a Firefly. The pups are Pearly Gates by Seymour Duncan. Interestingly...

All your suggestions make a lot of sense. I may be just buying in to the hype. I appreciate you all helping me save a few hundred $$$

Thanks for the reply. First, I would like to know whether it's worth the $$ for an FRFR Cab to get a "realistic" sound out of my keyboards? Specifically, the dynamics of a Yamaha C-3., or a 69 Rhodes, or a CP-80? I have VSTs that can emulate these instruments (obviously not perfect, but better...

I have a Yamaha MO8, an M-Audio Oxygen 49 and a TASCAM 16x08. I have some pretty good VSTs that I would like to use in a live situation. I've tried putting the output of the DAW into a guitar amp, but it sounds like what you would expect from a guitar amp. My question is, does anyone have any...

BTW: If anyone is interested in a killer Tele, DM me for details. It listed on RVB
