So with my wife's permission (lol) and some birthday cash I found myself swinging by and hanging out with an older gentleman a few days ago who was selling this: A VHT (Gasp) special 6 Ultra. You know, those chinese hand-wired eyelet-board single-ended 6 watt tube amps. Now, I realize...

Re: My 'Cornchopper' build A few more changes in the last few weeks...

Hey guys, Phone rang a few days ago, and it was my lovely Grandmother in law. She's cleaning out her barn in British Columbia, and is finding some interesting stuff. Her late husband (who I never had the pleasure of meeting) was a guitar, mandolin and banjo player (how sweet is all that?). I'm...

Re: String Guide Voodoo Yes, this is the direction I'm leaning. Well I will say that they weren't ultra tight, but now after adjusting the neck somewhat, I've definitely tightened them down to a reasonable amount. Its not going anywhere anytime soon. Possibly yes. But I'm unsure if it's...

Re: My 'Cornchopper' build Thanks! I appreciate it. I'm loving it! Lol Darth Chopper, the alter ego. It was my grandfather’s CB Handle. I always thought it was cool he had a CB handle, so it’s kind of sentimental. Black components are on their way already.... :cool: Working on deciding...

Hey guys, looking for some input on something I'm considering for the Cornchopper. Currently I have no string guides on it whatsoever. Initially I thought about putting one on but decided to string it up and play it. Here is why I'm "thinking" about putting some or one on: I never...

Re: First Guitar? My dad would let me play his Strat until for my 12th birthday he paid for 2/3rds of this guitar. I paid for the rest with the little bit that I had. I still play it regularly and it brings back so many fond memories playing with my dad.

Re: Martin, Taylor, Other and Why? I play acoustic guitar from time to time but by no means am I a 'seasoned' acoustic player. But so far, I am in love with my Art & Lutherie pre- Concert Hall series acoustic guitar. I believe they were calling these "Folk Cedars". 4 years ago I was in my...

Hey Guys, This is my first ever post here at the SD Forums, so I'm happy to finally be posting. I've been a bit of a lurker until now; many of you have been helping me out by answering questions I've had while sifting through posts to find information I need so thanks for that! Largely, this...
