Mike ,when I inherited it , it was using steel strings ( can't remember the gauge) but originally it was nylon strung. It seems that with the increased tension, its caused the brdge to pull out.

I ponging an Ovation for the time being. Guitar prices are really good in Trinidad imo.Everytime i come trini I bring a used guitar back.
My bro from BRC jsut reveived his PRS which I really can't appreciate.

^Don't worry, Zack. Nick is the reason your guitar broke anyway - freaking Judas that he is!

As for guitar prices in Trinidad, well it's okay to me that you've been using those processed canadian drugs. Marijuana is healthy for your sanity Zack, so you know.

I totally understand the modern thing> that"s why I don't like Ibanez. Looks and tone.
That Martin isn't just a Martin, its a Martin & Co. Meaning it's VERY old....before the present Martin took over. Like pre CBS strats and those old Les Pauls with the P 90's (before humbuckers were invented).
Ebay he mc and buy a house :lol:

Btw I learned an interesting fact this week about early humbuckers. They're called paf's
the acronym P.A.F. has nothing to do with the design of the pickup. Some dude invented the double coil pickup and took it to Gibson, then they went to get it patented, but the process was long ( like they do it in a T'dad gov't office) So those humbuckers had "Patent Applied For" written below them until they actually got the patent :lol:

So men stated calling them paf's...
I well say PAF meant a certain type of winding or something. It just signifies an era ( In music that's more important than science imo tho)

fenders just don't do it for me yes. Like they say...everyone has their own preference. Plus...i'm partial to my floyd rose....no matter how fricked up they are to keep in tune. Good thing the new edge zeros don't do it as much. Gibson i will try.....their neck scale really gives a diff feel to playing. Heavy as frick tho.

I am however partial to a nice modern G&L....lol! For me PRS is a good option for me for a fixed bridge guitar.

Once the Floyd Woes is set up it doesn't go out of tune.

You really cant beat the resonance a stringed through guitar has.

true.....a string thru guitar has resonance to kill for!

Say anyone else following Guitar Idol 2009?

Got her back from InDeForest last week. Sounded sweet through an amp he had there. Outstanding job on the fretboard. It looks like he bought a new neck and forged the Serial # :lol:

Really impressed with the work. Now to get something to plug it into

A friend got a PRS SE Singlecut and got a pup from a Paul and asked me to change it for him. While I was doing it he had to go home because it was late last night. But when I was done, OMG, the difference between the SE pup in the bridge and the new LP pup in the neck is astounding!!! I got the guitar for the night and couldn't put it down jed.
Today he's going for another Paul pup for me to change out the bridge too. Nice project, he'll have a sweet axe when we're done :mrgreen:

There's a rock show in jens on the 31st I believe. Supposed to be the last show that vox deus is in before the band disbands. Matthew is flying out to live, so they're gonna break up.

Only thing used about this guitar is the serial number indicating when it was made. Brand new guitars in some guitar stores have more wear than this baby. When I touched this guitar my fingers started missing wrinkles and my cuticles got lighter. I think the alder tree they made this from grew next to the fountain of youth. I think hey rub lime and sal....k i'll stop now. On a serious note, I think buzz played this guitar more than the previous owner...and Buzz dislikes fenders. The condition's that good. It's pristine x mint ^2. If its the price he told me and he don't mind taking two payments I'll take it actually. I'll love it. It's a great deal guys.
