  1. Hummingbirds are great ... but SJ-200's are more greater. ☺️
  2. Plectrums are unique .. in the world of Silk & Steel strings I found these La Bella strings came in surprisingly close.
  3. I have an IBG Hummingbird and it's a little bright sounding soI like PB's or D'Addario Nickel Bronze .012's - Martin Titaniums were also very good. My '57 Historic SJ-200 is a really warm sounding guitar and John Pearse 80/20 .012 lights are excellent on it.
  4. I thought it was the 80/20's that were extinct not the PB's?
  5. 4.0mm is close to 5/32" - way too high!
  6. I like 2.25mm string height at the 12th fret - 4.0mm is way too high. I also use .012" Lights on my Gibson Custom Shop Historic 1957 SJ-200 - my guitar is very warm sounding and I prefer these strings. John Pearse 80/20 Curt Mangan round-core 80/20 D'Addario Nickel Bronze
  7. No washers so I'd say yes, press fit. Only Martin were silly enough to fit washers with press fit bushings - the bushings couldn't sit home properly, they sat too high, the washers came loose and created buzzing noise - simple remedy was remove bushing, throw away washer, re-fit bushing!
  8. Those new tuners are open back but they have a screw in bushing like sealed gear tuners so they use the washer and nut.
  9. Not sure where it was made - I had a 2012 EJ-200 which was made in Indonesia (which is where they are still made today) before that I believe they were made in Korea?
  10. I tried them on my SJ-200 - nothing special - didn't sound any better than John Pearse 80/20's or Curt Mangan round core 80/20's.
  11. I have a Custom Shop Historic 1957 SJ-200 Vintage Sunburst I bought in 2020 - exact same finish - super thin - I believe they only give it 4 coats instead of the usual 9 coats on gloss finish guitars.
  12. My wife Linda found out that our dog (a Schnauzer) could hardly hear, so she took it to the veterinarian. The vet found that the problem was hair in the dog's ears. He cleaned both ears, and the dog could then hear fine. The vet then proceeded to tell Linda that , if she wanted to keep this from recurring, she should go to the pharmacy and get some 'Nair' Hair Remover and rub it in the dog's ears once a month. Linda went to the store and bought some 'Nair' Hair Remover. At the register, the pharmacist told her, "If you're going to use this under your arms, don't use deodorant for a few days." Linda said, "I'm not using it under my arms." The pharmacist said, "If you're using it on your legs, don't use body lotion for a couple of days." Linda replied, "I'm not using it on my legs either. If you must know, I'm using it on my Schnauzer." The pharmacist said, "Well, then.....stay off your bicycle for at least a week."
  13. I'm not a Radiohead fan - don't own anything by them but I came across this song by them and I think it's beautiful - here's a live studio version.
  14. Iris ND-200 ordered last week - custom 1.725" nut to match my SJ-200 - Mahogany back & sides with upgrade Adirondack Red Spruce top - bound fretboard - Gotoh SE700-M5 tuners -should look like this one.
