Terrific playing Gary!
Very nicely done! I loved it...
Kerry, I continued to wonder about this. Particularly the 'deep scientific study' that lead ToneRite to conclude that 60 HZ was just the right frequency to maximize aging or loosening. Some coincidence that this just happens to be line frequency a...
My favorite is ~4 years old and played 1-2 hrs a day, but has and Adi top - notoriously slow to open - so might still make an improvement. I'll give it a try.
Thanks!
I'm pretty sure, Bruce that it WILL do something good to the tone, as opposed to nothing at all. Just kind of a pale imitation of what a Tonerite will do is all. There have now been 60 high end Collings done . The worst was no change at all, but t...
Clever and simple - Thanks!
I'll just open this thread back up after a whole year's dormancy.... Faris's axe sound terrific, BUT I am of the opinion that any guitar that guy chose to play would sound amazing too! What a monster player,m I have been to his YOUTUBE page and he...
If I remember correctly what I did... I got a piece of quarter inch plywood about one half inch wide by 4 inches long and drilled a hole right in the middle of it. Then I drove a vera short wood screw through straight into the rubber side of the p...
Kerry,
Glad to hear there is some reason they charge as much as to do . . .
Do you see much of a change on an already reasonably well broken-in guitar?
BTW: I haven't used this, I prefer just playing a whole lot to open up a guitar - something a...
Bruce, I did this exact same thing a few months back. Its not quite the same and I did'nt get very good results.
If you are at UMGF, search the same thread 'tonerite' for 'fish pump'. Seems you can do the same thing with a $7 aquarium air pump and a few rubber bands (instead of $149). Probably all you need is any kind of 60 Hz buzzer that you can couple to t...
Guild 12 strings were a force to be reckoned with back in the day. They ALL needed neck resets after being strung up for 15 years though. I almost bought a Guild about 15 years ago. I would have used it for Bluegrass, and I am sorry I let it get a...

- I've been flatpicking guitar since '84. I've had a ton of guitars (it seens to me) and played mandolin in a national touring band for 5 years at the start of the '90s. My main axe there was a Monteleone Grand Artist. My main guitar now is a Collings D2H. I've had string instrument repair shops in the last three cities I've lived in (Winnipeg, Montreal and Prince George) the current shop being by far the biggest at over 1000 sq feet. I have been spending a pretty big chunk of my cash these last 4 years on tooling up to start building Electricmandolins (emandos) I teach Bluegrass guitar and mandolin up here. I am the only mandolin teacher I know of in this city on 80k, and also have the only Collings that I know of here.I have my Residential Home Care ticket and work full time graveyard at a full care grouphome and I love my work. This years obsession is blueprinting the various parts ( 4/8 string bridge and pickup and 5 string bridge and pickup) and the bodies for the emandos I will be building soon.

- Kerry, that is a gorgeous shop you have there. Did you build that flamed dread? Is it maple or a flamed mahogany?

- I've been learning for about a year and a half. I don't have a lot of musical ability but I do try. I've been interested in bluegrass for some 35 years and play mostly bluegrass harmonica and just recently picked up the guitar. Mostly because of the new electronic tuners made it possible for me to keep the guitar in tune. My ear has been getting better though. I play a Martin HD28 and a Talor D-3. I like both as the Martin has a great sound, the Tayor has a brighter sound. I'm trying to work through the Essential series, but with my ability it will take me quite awhile.

I don't play a lot today. Too much work, not enough guitar, I'm sad, but I've been playing with my duet Grasstics Sunday.

- Hi Kerry,
My JP Aleman is an hand made guitar by french luthier. This guitar was made for me because I'm a great fan of the Clarence White D28 now owned by Tony Rice. This guitar has a great woody sound, his look like the original, I play sometimes on stage with this one and also with my great 1954 Martin D18. If you want more information from JP Aleman i can talk about him more and more...

A companion forum to my column in Flatpicking Guitar Magazine. Discussion will include fingerboard harmony, practice techniques, swing and jazz styles, all with a goal of achieving constant improvement.
I use the L.R. Baggs M1 Active pickup in my '84 D-35. I wanted something that I could take out when I'm at home pickin' 'grass. I just purchased it 2 months ago to use when I lead worship at church or play in our worship band. I have no complaints...
