- Haha! Thank you for the compliment. Yea it is kinda hard. It is a 'confidence' thing (I think)?? Maybe that is what it is. i just dont have enough confidence in myself to play in front of other talented people.
Once I get some good pictures I will put them up! That one I have up is my '99 Huss and Dalton TD-R.

- oh yea. I have been playing for about 15 years and my rythm is really strong. I also know the licks and can play really fast solo's (by myself). But when I am at church playing and it is my turn to take lead...i freeze up. I never did good in speech class in college either LOL

My Larrivee D-10 is a 1988. My wife gave it to me and it is a wonderful guitar. I would never part with it. It is my favorite guitar for a lot of reasons, but the main reason is that it sounds so good.

I like what you said about being able to afford a 20 Dollar Hygrometer... if you can spend 4 grand on a box.. and you can't spend the little bit of money on the…
Great stuff !... Very atmospheric the way you play this tune...love it !!
Dedicated to those of us who are just getting started.
So what you are talking about here Jon, is not what I started the thread for( but it IS a nice aside!) You NEED to know what your humidity is at in your house were your axe lives. That is what the Hygrometer is for. There are all kinds of threads ev…
I've never had a gauge that I've used for any of my guitars, but what I have done which only costs a few dollars is to get a travel soap box and a sponge to use as a small humidifier that I keep in my case.
It's works really well and fits perfectly…
