    The great string spacing illusion?

    in Gibson Acoustic

    Posted · Edited by kidblast

    it doesn't usually bug me too much either way,, I tend to adapt,  but maybe it's just that they are all "close"

    so I don't really pay much attention to nut spacing on the guitars I have at the house

    The neck profile -- yea,,  that's a big issue for me.   Radius,  contour, fret height are all make or break details for me getting along with a guitar

    Many congrats @sparquelito and @kidblast.

    I've only done 2 gigsd this year so am envious - want to get out there again.

    Spark - that must have been a marathon....6.45 A.M?

    it's good to get yourself out there, sometimes it's a bit of work to get a rotation happening.  But it's worth it if you enjoy doing it.

    Good luck!

    Friday night Tavern Gig.  I love playing here.  The room is not easy to mix, the section people play in has a cathedral ceiling which drops to an 8foot flat ceiling towards the back. 

    I have two Bose S1s on poles left and right of me, my board is behind me.  The S1s do a great job filling this room.

    Good night too.  Room was full from the start (about 30 people).    6 to 9, home by 10!  at may age, that's a winnah!

    I missed the part that was socialism.  The free market part?  Big money types owning and running manufacturing businesses cause they have too much cash to mind their own business?  This problem is as far from socialism as you can get.

    Ten percent of you guys want anarchy and the other ninety percent want what they tell you to want. 

    !LOL!

    I think we should stick to *****in about the price increases and leave it there.

    Oh man.

    Thoughts and prayers to you, good friend.
    Hope it all turns out well in the end.
    Stay dry.

    Thanks Sparky

    The damage done by the heavy rains in that short amount of time was nothing short of remarkable - and not in  a good way

    We were lucky that was only some water on our basement floor.  Some people really got hammered.

    We can make this the 'here's my guitar workspace' thread even.

    🙂

    will get some in due time

    we had a vicious storm come thru here on Monday

    Basement took on some water,

    we faired far better than others - some lost their homes

    Look up Leominster Mass, Flooding - Sept 11 2023 on any search engine  you'll no doubt get an eye full

    Basement is in disarray after water came pouring in from just about anywhere it could find a way in,

    10 inches of rain in like 2 hours.  it was nasty 

    I'm in recovery mode at the moment

    nice Sparky!!!

    I have a dedicated work bench with storage too,  a rolling kitchen cabinet with a fold out top and doors with storage shelfs

    Turns out the perfect size for working a guitar.

    Best thing ever!

    9-11 Is Monday. What's Your Story?

    like most of you guys I was at work, 

    one of my coworkers had just been down at the cafeteria for coffee, stopped by to tell me "Some idiot just flew a plane into the trade center"

    while we were shooting the blarney,  2 minutes go by, everyone is leaving their offices, heading to the cafeteria.

    by the time we get there, the facilities crew had already setup more TVs  and the place was packed. 

    Everyone just watching the TVs including the entire cafeteria staff.

    I just looked at my buddy and said "This seems something more than some idiot in a plane"

    Right about then is when the second plane slammed into the second tower
