    Re: NO NEW (or used) GUITARS!!!!!

    My Martin was the same way some years ago

    I had put new strings on

    11s

    It had shipped with 10s

    The heavier strings bowed the neck

      Trades are ok, right? I don't trade gear often because I'm picky about what I like but I did a trade a couple weeks ago. That's at least one in/one out so not technically "new" gear.

        Ok, sold another AMP and Guitar -so now I'm just +2 on Guitars for the year and one was my grandmother's -couldn't really turn that down.

              Ace, can’t live by your rules, man. I’ve already wildly violated the New Years no gas pledge.

                  Good luck...
                  Seems like I'm constantly at the state of
                  " I like my current setups and everything sounds good"
                  => few weeks later
                  " I wonder how this guitar, amp, pickup, pedal would sound?.." or "that's a good deal on that."

                    You can always justify it if it is something you 'need'.

                    I am looking for a comfortable acoustic that is the size of a solidbody, but sounds amazing plugged in. My Acoustic Variax fits the bill now, but it has developed some weird static thing in the preamp, and those aren't available anymore. So if I find a good deal on a Godin Multiac or something like it, I'll do it. But I use it for work, you know.

                      Have you tried the Taylor T5z

                        You didn't quite make 24 hours before the back-pedaling started. I feel your pain.

                          Is the action so bad that a TR and bridge saddle adjustment won't help?

                            Didn't like the plugged in sound at all (and I like most Taylors) and the neck was too wide for me.

                                For what you do, you could run it instead of your 2x12.
