Thanks for not laughing! Yeah, I'm wondering what it will sound like. I might go down to the dollar store tomorrow and buy ten or fifteen of them.

Like the title says, this might be a stupid question. However, I was wondering what people would think about using a toy 'echo mic' to add a cheap, strange reverb to a recording. Obviously, I'm not expecting quality results. I figure, though, that if you grab a bunch of those and arrange them...

Yeah, the first one has been annoying me for years. The second one is in DADGAD.

I don't know if you're a fan of Richard Thompson or not, but for my money he is one of the best exponents of the fingerstyle/open tuning combination. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tF61W7SGNxU Although Rory Gallagher was pretty handy too. Here's Leadbelly's 'Out on the Western Plain.'...

I've seen much worse on much more expensive instruments. I like what Rondo are doing, too.

It could be seen as an Em7. And yes, it does sound pretty poor.

They are amazing guitars - the rich man's Daisy Rock, but less 'girly.'

I fully understand why you did buy from them - the part looked perfect, and cheap. Maybe people do buy from them for Gibsons and Fenders, but, from hanging round on other forums, most people seem to be buying new bridges or cheap pickups for Squier 51's and homemade specials. You're right, his...

Jay is a good guy, but Guitarfetish is generally used as a supply of parts for project guitars, not Gibsons. Having said that, I agree with you, Zaohod - the part shouldn't have been billed as 'vintage' if it wasn't vintage in measurement. I wouldn't let the experience turn you off...

What the fuck is going on> Something about streets in Soho. There may or may not be lights involved. :confused::confused::confused:

Very sad. He's one of the reasons I started playing, and because of that I'll always hold him in high esteem.

Pfft. Ever hear Rory Gallagher?

Love my Marshall AVT50 - it has a tube pre, though.

Yes you did:

Jimmie Vaughan. Are we only voting for guitarists called Jimmy, Jimmie or Jimi?

Sure. How do you feel about Jap guitars? Sorry, I meant Jap. guitars.

I'll be conscious of it, yes. I most definitely won't stop using it, however, to refer to Japanese guitars. Just for fun, though, say I write 'Jap.' The period indicates that it is a shortening of 'Japan', or 'Japanese'. Thus, in a list of abbreviated nationalities or nations, it would be...

Cool, I'll start a new thread. Thanks a million for the help.

Thanks for the advice. Yep, I will be contacting you when it comes to the finishing stage, but I'll get those supplies beforehand. I have a bottle of the off the shelf French Polish stuff (it was for a previous project). I haven't got Tru-Oil yet (I'm buying supplies as I need them - not ideal...

That looks great - very nicely designed. I already have the plans for it from the web, but if or when I start building it, would it be okay if I came back to you with some questions?
