Any guitarists here?

 

[Creepy Lurker]

I'm known to play bass every now and then.

It's technically a guitar. :tongue:

 

[Chelu915]

Used to play back in high school but have switched over to a Ukulele

yep - i play acoustic.

 

[Wiles]

I play a little, and I'm learning the mandolin as well.

 

[Jeff D.]

I play classical, acoustic, slap acoustic, and electric. Throw in a little bass here and there and that's I sir.

Haha I hear that I would love to get back to my 5 to 10 hour sessions and recording like I was doing last year but I just don't have the time anymore. Now I only get about an hour a day but this week I'm playing a mini concert at my girlfriends house because they want me to sing karaoke and I just won't sing without my guitar so I'm relearning all these easy songs which I now need to remember lyrics to.lol

Two of my three Rickenbackers. On the left is a 6-string 330, on the right a 12-stringer, Tom Petty model


My Gretches. A Bo Diddley, a Emerald Green Duo-Jet, an acoustic Jumbo Rancher and a 120th Anniversary.



American Classic Stratocaster.

I also have a bunch of others that I buy and flip from time to time.

Holy crap I wish I could affor some of that. I have a crappy cordoba classical, epiphone les paul flame top, and an art and lutherie ami. Im trying to save up for a nice custom acoustic.

 

[Wiles]

Excuse me while I clean up this puddle of drool. haha.

I have a beat up old yamaha eterna for an acoustic, dearmond m56 electric (entry level electric guitar), and a La Patrie Concert classical guitar.

The La Patrie is by far my favourite, but for some reason it has developed a bit of fret rattle ()
I took it into a guitar place to get a tech to have a look at it and change the strings. I talked to the guy up front but I don't think he expressed my concerns to the tech, because when I got it back it still had the same buzz. So I was out 40$ and my guitar wasn't fixed! I haven't taken it back in anywhere else yet, because I can't justify dropping more money on it for a while. (Plus I just moved and I don't know where to go)

 

[GoJohnnyGo]

I'd bet that Guild is a nice one, Mike!

 

[Jeff D.]

Wiles talk to Bob Colosi, he can make a new saddle for you and all you have to do is sand it to fit. He can help you get it right this time. It's probably because your action is a little low. I'm a college student in the economic crisis so no one wants to hire me. I'm just waiting for a job so I can start saving for the guitar if you know what I mean.

 

[Wiles]

I'd be worried I'd muck things up. I'm not even sure if it's the bridge. The frets might have come uneven from expanding/shrinking wood because the guitar is a few years old now.

 

[Jeff D.]

Use a straight edge to check the frets.

Wiles - my beloved acoustic is also quite old now, at least 30 years, and recently the glue holding the body to the base dried out and the joint gaped. i've since superglued it lol, and all is ok again. i'm just wondering if its a similar thing with yours.. wood glue doesn't last forever, particularly if the guitar (or piece of furniture) is kept where there is central heating.
