    There's only 2:05 to watch lol. but ya. fiddle sounds good when they can play. I just want to be able to pull it out for one song in a night. even a waltz would be fun. that's my goal. (I don't practice very often with it tbh) and ya Dave, it makes you wonder. I just liked the studio options...

    oh and looks like my deal for the les paul is going to fall apart. he paid too much used for the instrument and when I mentioned I can get the same guitar new for $850 (he paid 1100 used) he was kind of taken aback. I'll just have to go hit my fav toy store after my car is done with the upgrades...

    Ya there are router attatchments that have depth guages. a wheel runs along the body and it has a depth guage. This kit was to teach me how to build. Now I know what goes into building, and also what mistakes I made I can correct. I have the plans to build another and just need some wood. I'd...

    ya other than having white fingertips after a long session, mando is low fatigue. nice being able to stretch 7 frets. I am like you I watch tv shows and find some cool tunes and learn them on the fly from that or just jam along. you get to play with so many styles that way. I have to post...

    The Squire I picked up does have the bridge humbucker over the 3 single coils. I'll still keep it. sometimes just gotta have that single coil neck pick up sound too. I don't play the electric guitar much anymore. my roland midi pickup has a sweet bracket made for les pauls. fits to the saddle so...

    Since playing mandolin, I have had to learn to do a lot of setup stuff I never did before. Got the bug to try a kit. we'll see about scratch building after this. front and back are flat not arched so should make life easier.... and no scroll to try and put a binding on. I am using hand tools for...

    I wish it was a Gibson. Mandolins are way more expensive than guitars.... 3-4 times as much. This is one of the better pac rim mandolins "The Loar" is the brand. it actually has a wider neck than most and I really like that. I just got it last week shipped in from Arkansas... my Epiphone is...
