Hi Gang, I just purchased a Guild JF30 Jumbo acoustic guitar with maple back & sides. I play rythm for old time C&W music. Can any one suggest a good type of...
Hi. I have an aspen guitar I would like to sell, but I have no idea of how old it is or any other specifications needed to think of an appropriate opening bid...
Hi I had an Aspen too. Mine was a small 00 size with 12 frets , and slotted head. You will need to advise us of the model/type/shape. They are, I think,...
I don't play CW but I tend to stick with D'addarios. They are not as purty sounding as Elixer but I kept breaking strings with Elixer. The final straw was a...
The title says it all! A rhythm player that I jam with has a 1936 Bretsch guitar that his grandfather bought new in 1936. It is a plain acoustic guitar, and,...
Hi, I've experimented with strings a whole lot, but your choice is VERY subjective. I regard D'Addario as the most consistent make, and I tend to use Elixir ...
D'Addario makes strings for a lot of companies. I find them good, but don't suggest buying them in five-set packages--they can be old, and I had a run of them...

-Posted this but it seems to have disappeared. Theo Bretsch makes upright basses. A shop in REading PA works on them or with them. Perhaps his father made the...
Thanks for the information! The company may have gone out of business, though. I can't find a yellow or white page listing for that name in the Reading area....
As the situation is described, I would agree ( IMHO ) that string breakage is probably more the guitar and or player, than it is the string. I have used both...
Although I am capable of breaking strings, I don't think that has been the problem as over 40 years of playing it has only been strings (EJ11s) in the 5-pack...
Breaking strings is so weird. A guy I do worship with has to be the all time leader in breakage. It's unbelievable how many strings he breaks ... we just can't...
Almost every string I break that isn't ancient is at the bridge. Depends on how much playing I do with a given guitar. I live in a high humidity area so...
Acoustic guitar string breakage: I've been working on guitars for 11 years now, building and repair. I've just learned to give up on string breaking theories...

There's a guy that brings his electrics in my shop all the time for setups. He's one of the best lead players around here. He uses his index finger a lot...
... No, nothing terrible, but since it's designed for steel strings and nylon strings have far less tension, you won't get really loud tone out of it. But...
Hello all, I hate to intrude with this add for my F512 but I figured if someone belonged to this group they would have an interest in it. The problem is I just...
