The handle on my Gibson GA-6 has succumbed to dry rot. Do you know of any sources for these? I want t get something close in size to avoid putting unnecessary new holes in the cabinet. Thanks in advance t

Sssshhhhhhh Don’t want to attract people and turn it into the next must-see destination ill pm you tomorrow

I’m going to visit a friend in Slovenia next month. He lives on the Soča River, which was highly contested during WW1. It was also known as the Isonzo Front. His grandmother’s house was shelled and destroyed and abandoned. Above his house is a flat piece of land that was cleared as an army base. You can still see how the ground was raised and sloped to drain rainwater. I’d like to bring a metal detector to him. I know nothing about these. Would buy a hobbyist level device One consideration would be charging this especially with different plug ends Or maybe there’s a USB rechargeable option. Looking for any advice if you are familiar with this kind of thing. Thanks

This morning Sweetwater has one open box Mop Top Liverpool for $86 Vox amp Ranger boost

I’ve been checking daily There was a new mop top this morning 99$

I liked the HiWatt/Muff version so I decided to try the MopTop Liverpool. Sold out. But I clicked on the WishList option and about a week later, I got an offer on an open box for $89. Try that maybe some late December buyers are returning under 30 day deal.

Thank you all for your input. Only the wound G is affected. The sitar effect goes up to the 14th fret. The action is low. Ebony neck, rosewood bridge. Martin has been making this model for 30+ years. This particular guitar may have hung on the wall at Dave’s for 14 months before I bought it. I was told the Milwaukee shop does not have a lot of storage. Prior to shipping, it was restrung with Martin strings and set up. It was shipped in cold weather in December. Cold but not much below freezing, not like 5-10 degree temperatures in the past week. There was no issue for five weeks. I have lived in this old house for 35 years. During that time, which should be a pretty sample, I have known periods much colder than now, including minus ten and 100 plus. During that time, neither of my two other acoustics have suffered cracks, lifting bridges, etc., nor have they sounded like “Norwegian Wood.” They have been in the basement and the attic. Other than that, it’s a wonderful guitar. Disappointing for now, for sure, especially for a new $3200 Martin. D’Addario humidifier packets are arriving today. We’ll see. Thanks again. I might call the Martin folks today. I’ll let you know what they say.

I bought a new Martin M-36 in December from Dave’s Milwaukee. . Discontinued and heavily discounted. Never had such a nice acoustic. The guitar was built in 2024. Last night the wound G sounded like a sitar. That string only. Same thing today. Dave’s says it could be a truss rod or humidity problem. It’s been damn cold in the Midwest. He said I should buy a d’addario humidity pack. That sounds goofy. YouTube /internet searches say it could be a nut problem not cut accurately maybe too wide. I tried the pencil in the slot trick but that didn’t solve it. I don’t want to send it back - cold, cost and shipping cost or problems. Why did this arise now? It hasn’t sat out. It’s been in the case when not played. i registered this with Martin. Should I call Martin? I could take it to my local guitar repair guy. Your thoughts on this problem? Solutions? I hate shelling out money to have somebody local look at it, especially if he hadn’t dealt with this before. thanks

Yeah, well, Mr Classic Album Review’s opinion won’t stop me from seeing Bob Dylan in April.

Saw it earlier today on line . No longer posted. Doesn’t mean it’s sold. They take stuff down when someone makes an inquiry or it’s put into a cart,

NOW AT $806!!!

I thought he took into account the customer/players style before building their amp. So wouldn’t there be a lot of Dumble sounds?

By “Cali Tweed” do you mean the Mesa amp?

What is the color? Reminds me of Inca Silver, one of my fave colors.

Was just gifted by my sons the latest Actin III model. Nice having treble and bass controls. Loud as heck. Anybody have any experience with these or the Fender version? Are these supposed to be voiced like their big brothers? Don’t see how. Thanks.

Wasn’t there a kerfuffle when it was discovered that Andertons was giving glowing reviews of Victory amps without disclosing an ownership interest? I’m not knocking your happy approval, of course. Do they mention that in this review. I’ve not been watching many Anderton reviews since then. I’m curious but not so much that I’d watch this one. Thanks

Where in Oesterreich?

As much as I love Neil Young, Keith has more energy and better chops for their comparable ages.

Missing mine All five of them.

Please post here. There are so many out there. For: Non-bigsby. Tune O'Matic bridge or Fender-type saddles (Not traditional Tele). Non-locking tuners. thanks in advance

I hope posting this is okay A friend’s boyfriend has designed and is starting to market this amp stand. I’d be happy to forward your comments to him. thanks https://share.google/5SVQihM75u7zKYrmH

Thanks Josh Scott does a run through Screaming Secy is paired with a TubeScreamer' MopTop with a Range Master English Muffy with a Big Muff' Fuzzy Brit with a Fuzz Face thinking about the English Muffy

Which one is the HiWatt? Or gone? Thank you

Curious. Was this a “student guitar,” size wise, that is. Body shape, I think. Neck length? If so, can you comment on playability?

Don. I once had a “root beer” Tally. Did I buy that from you? I also seem to recall trying to locate the pair in this thread. Thought they were originally owned or acquired by a collector in Asia. Is that your recollection? I once had at least five, including the Greg V Kimono Gold and the Jon Herington custom order. Loved them all. I think these were under appreciated because there were so few made and they didn’t get passed around.
