nope! not fun, loud machinery over years, with loud military before that. No one was much interested in protection as they are now. So, take heed! I will say that the new hearing aids offered now are great, especially the Bluetooth streaming.

good thought. I wondered if that would be a problem. It would be like hearing yourself twice as an echo. How would earphones work with an acoustic guitar over hearing aids. That is a problem in itself. Thank you for bringing good info .

room mode not enough, too much background noise. Bluetooth channels directly to ears with noise cancelation. Works great to hear phone call or tv. Phone goes directly but tv must go thru a device connected to tv. You can hear tv without any volume on. Great to watch without bothering others. That is what I need to play with only guitar hearable to others but more to me. New tech. can be helpful to impaired people. Still miss dialing a rotary phone though!! Have a great day.

Does anyone have experience with streaming your acoustic guitar to Bluetooth hearing aids. I am thinking of using a tv streaming device from amp to hearing aids. A p/u to amp to streamer to hearing aids. I use Bluetooth from tv and iPhone to aids to hear. Now you know all I do about electronics!

maybe its not too late I turn 75 [ unbelievable] this month . who knew? sometimes I did wait too long, sometimes I was right on , still working on it.

thanks for taking time and for your input

yes, will probably go for more. Would you buy it sight unseen and how much would you pay. I know you should play anything you buy but impossible here.

need help and opinion with 93 j45 now on ebay 11/8 I consider age checking and light scratches as patina adding a certain class

good info, I had not thought of that. I am a larger man. Played a 66 hummingbird in early life but made the youthful mistake of selling.

Thanks for insight

considering a j45 purchase. Is there a reason to buy a pre 1969 model? Is the shorter than Martin scale length noteably easier to play due to string tightness [ don't know proper question here]

I'M considering a j 45 purchase. Is there a reason to buy a pre 1969 model? Looking also for a shorter scale length than my Martin d 16. Please respond kindly.

South of the Border, I believe is an origional Gene Aurty song. Don't know the other. Thanks for taking the time to post!

Thanks, You are very informative with your answers

If you tune to open c how are regular chords found. I have lost tip of index finger and can not play a c chord right.

QM, great read. very clear and understandable. Thank you!

no question is a stupid question if you don't know the answer! Can someone please explain the relation of number of frets compared to scale length? Why the difference and what is your preference. We talk a lot about tone woods, fret board choises, even type of bracing and sizes. PS I have enjoyed your music vida!

you are right It can wait

Need more advice! Seems the only ones I can find must be shipped from out of state. Taking a chance on the aspects of a guitar that I can't see or hear myself. The other is I cant seem to find one that does NOT have a built in pick up. I want an accoustic only. Speaking of hearing, does anyony wear hearing aids as I do? Any ideas? Have a great weekend!!

My father and I were custon cabinet and furniture makers . In his retirement he made violins[ fiddles[. He used several exotic woods we had on hand, Paduke,Bubinga, Morado, Lace wood etc. One was made from reclaimed straight grain Fir from water tank on the Trans continental railroad. All sounded different, some were duds while others were sweet. So using different woods work as well sometimes as the old standards. Sound is personal to each of us.

Thanks for your review. Now give your oponion on the Gibson Hummingbird sustainable. Hope to find one with wanut fret board and bees wax finish. This just appeals to me as a woodworker for 45 yrs.

It was just a question. When I called GC in Albq. ,they said to have 3 and 2 with top cracks. It made me wonder why a pro shop ,properly humidified would keep those on hand. Thier situation may make it harder to return to Gibson and hoping to sell as is. An unusual situation. I agree why buy a problem unless you need a beater for your garage studio while watching paint dry.

It was just a question! Looks like I unleashed some terrible thoughts. I will be more [ carefull] with mty posts and so desinate as a questanable question. Hope none had a heartatack! sorry

I have read about ritchlite. I did not know what it was. They even make counter tops from it. As a furniture maker I am empressed.
