K 35s
Just curious how many Kopp K35 owners there are and how they like this guitar ? I have heard different things on tone/sound . The sunburst is beautiful on his guitars . Ive only seen pics though.

Karura Cases???

feeds@yuku.com (kriegerse) — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 17:56:05 GMT

I guess this is the proper section. Has anyone had experience with these Karura cases? I love my Caltons but hate lugging them around. The one Accord I purchased is much lighter but I worry about it's ability to protect the way a Calton does--and they (the Accord people) are very slow and non communicative.

So, anyone tried these Karura cases?

Just unpacked an HD-16R Adirondack. It is good.

feeds@yuku.com (Joe The Strummer) — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 21:27:46 GMT

An HD-16R Adi from Maury's got here tonight. Great set up. Good looking top. It's a loud guitar. I like the wide fingerboard on the dread body.

The chunky mod-V neck and wider fingerboard makes a perfect fit for my super-sized hands. The fit is more natural for me than the low profile neck with 1 11/16 width fingerboards that I usually play. I'm 6' 7", so you can imagine why the dread body and the chunky neck with wide fingerboard make this guitar feel...

Santa Cruz ?

feeds@yuku.com (gtrnglf) — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 10:00:03 GMT

Any one own or played a Santa Cruz "D" sitka/hog version they seem to be a somwhat new offering in the Santa Cruz line. Basically a Sitka/Hog dread, ebony fret board and bridge and tortise binding.

This has got to be the most bang for the buck that I've ever got when buying an acoustic guitar.

Disappointed in a new 000-18 authentic

feeds@yuku.com (bb29slider) — Wed, 04 Nov 2009 22:36:28 GMT

I had occasion to play a new Martin 000-18 authentic today in a local shop. I have to express great disappointment in that guitar. Not only was it extremely high polish gloss lacquer on the entire guitar and the neck, but it had a nearly black stain job on all of the mahogany back and sides. It had a clear top. When I played it, the sound was also not up to snuff. Not even approximately as good as a standard 000-18GE. Also not as good as my own OM-28 Marquis or a Collings Rosewood...

Tell you what: I think I know that feeling, Lee.

I was away for only a week from mine. It was lying in its case humidifying and patient at home. While away, I had an opportunity to grab a tuned guitar, a Yamaha....

Saw my first OM-21 Special today

feeds@yuku.com (Ozark1951) — Tue, 03 Nov 2009 20:27:29 GMT

I finally saw my first OM-21 Special today. I found it to be every bit the wonderful sounding guitar I had imagined it would be. Talk about resonant. It had that rich deep rosewood tone that I thought it would have. I was very impressed with how good it sounded.
This is also quite pretty. That top was gorgeous. Right now, it's the one guitar I have gas for. Ah!!!! but I'm broke! Anyway...
They had a decent price on it too. I hope this model sticks around for a while until I...

Tele mod: anyone ever tried...

feeds@yuku.com (Jamada) — Tue, 03 Nov 2009 11:54:48 GMT

I've been reading the tele obsession thread with interest. I noticed a lot of pickup replacements especially swapping out the "lipstick" pickup in the neck position, usually for something like a humbucker or a strat PU. It seems to me, the bridge PU really defines the tele sound.

One thing I have never seen done is putting a tele bridge pickup in the neck position. I've always been curious as to what this would sound like.
Has anyone ever tried this or...

My favorite time of year

It's 45% RH in my house and my guitars sound great! What have others found to be the ideal RH for the best sound?

OM vs. 000 - Strumming vs. Fingerpicking

feeds@yuku.com (carl) — Tue, 03 Nov 2009 05:36:28 GMT

I A/B'd an OM-21 and 000-28EC at the local GC yesterday. The OM-21 sounded good for fingerpicking but the EC was great. However, when strummed, the OM held its own while the EC did not sound nearly as good. Have other forum members found the 000's to be less desireable for strumming (due to the short scale)? I am a bit curious since the difference was surprising, unless it was just my technique.

Have a look at this!

D-28 Marquis/D-28CW

feeds@yuku.com (Bluegrasser) — Mon, 02 Nov 2009 09:02:58 GMT

I have been trying to find a Martin that is comparable to my D-28CW, but with a wider neck. Anyone ever compared these two guitars for volume, tone, etc.? I love my CW, but I am having trouble with the narrow neck profile. Looks like they would be pretty comparable, as far as a trade goes. I am the original owner of the CW, and it is in mint condition.

What is a good neck pickup to go with a Rickenbacker in the bridge?

feeds@yuku.com (brrobert) — Sun, 01 Nov 2009 22:14:29 GMT

I have an electric guitar project that I'm working on.... It is a Fender-esque solid body and it will have a Rickenbacker pickup in the bridge-- the black hi-gain version from the late 80's, not the vintage toaster top.

I'm really undecided on what to use as the neck pickup... I'm leaning toward a Tele or Strat neck pickup, but a humbucker could be nice. Or a P-90... I'd be interested in reading some opinions!

000-18 Woody Guthrie. Opinions

feeds@yuku.com (larryrickenbacker) — Sun, 01 Nov 2009 00:31:39 GMT

Howdy,

My local shop has a used (with a few dents, admittedly) 000-18 Woody Guthrie. It's difficult to get a read on this little guitar's tone, since it needs a fresh set of strings. This diminuitive gem is priced at $1400, BTW. Are there any 000-18WG owners here? Please share your impressions/thoughts on this model. I'm a D-28 owner fighting GAS.

Wonderful 00-18V Podium Signature

feeds@yuku.com (MPS) — Sat, 31 Oct 2009 22:05:55 GMT

To celebrate its 50th anniversary (and the 10th year of ownership by the current owner, Jeff Molde), the Podium commissioned a set of special custom guitars based on the 00-18V. The main changes are an Engelmann spruce top and Waverly tuners. They have been selling fast and I had heard nothing but good things about them from the people who'd bought them. (They also had Martin make them a D-28 with a 1 3/4" low profile neck and an Engelmann top -- their "Singer/Songwriter...

Played a cool guitar tonight

feeds@yuku.com (GK34) — Sat, 31 Oct 2009 00:00:25 GMT

I was at a party tonight, and another guest had his twelve string "Lawsuit" Takamine. We played a few songs, and I have to say, that guitar sounded great. It was nicely aged with the cool yellowed binding. Anyway, it was such a treat to encounter such an unexected guitar, I thought I would share the experience.

D-18V Sweetwater

feeds@yuku.com (gtrnglf) — Fri, 30 Oct 2009 08:33:07 GMT

Any one here own or played one of these versions or a similar D-18V version. These are basically a D-18V with an Adi top, the sweetwater versions come with a Fishman pickup installed. Not interested in the pickup or its funciton just interested in opinion of the guitar.
Anyone?
