It is either strung backwards (to our way of playing) or else it is the left-handed model.

Careful Andy, you may be giving away Trade Secrets.

Mike, I would like the speaker. I am sending a PM to work out the details. Thanks.

Per the Gretsch website, they ship with Fender 250H Nickel Plated Strings, .012¨ - .052¨:

Scroll down and click on ´Miscellaneous´ for the string info.

HTH. Enjoy the New Guitar!

White Vinegar and Water 50/50 in a Spray Bottle.
Clean Damp Cloth.
Sunshine.

Spray it, leave it in the sun a couple of hours, wipe it off. Repeat.

HTH. Works for me. Good Luck!

Michael, you might find some information and inspiration here:

HTH. Good Luck with the Gold Tone.

Jim, hook up with George if you can. Also, check the Casino listings, some of them have live music. There is free live music on the Santa Fe Plaza some lunch-times and most evenings all summer. For a schedule and more info, look online for Santa Fe Bandstand. It´s a long drive north of Bernalillo, ...

AES has the Chrome Hardware, Tolex Covering and so on for building your own cabinets. https://www.tubesandmore.com/products/amplifier_parts_0 They also have a very interesting little book DIY Speaker Cabinets for Musical Instrument Applications that offers dimensions, construction techniques and so ...

A Good Idea from Stephen. Another thing to try would be some Screenless Rings from a Reso Parts Supplier and fill in the rings with plastic, wood, cardboard, whatever you got.

Good Luck with The Project!

Hi Alan, what´s the scale length and what batteries does it use? TIA.

I need another Project like I need another hole in my head, but this thing is giving me ideas.

I agree, looking at his hands, Jimmy seems to know what he´s doing there. Also, his facial expression reminds me of Buddy. FWIW, on page 52 of the Duchossoir Book, there are two photos of Alvino Rey with his new Console Grande delivered in March 1939. Alvino´s CG has a Blonde finish and the same I...

Roland AC-33. Two channels and reverb. One reason I bought mine is for the built-in Looper, but I haven´t really figured it out. Great for acoustic or clean electric. A couple of foot-switches, not included, are needed to get the max out of the effects.

Good Luck in The Search!

My condolences to his Family and Friends.

RIP, Mr Bill Hankey.

Jack, I have a Levy´s reso strap hanging on the wall that I traded for a few years ago that has hardly ever been used and I could probably let go cheap. Please send me a PM or email if you might be interested. Good Luck in The Search!

SP1 on Fender 400.
SP2 on six stringers.
´Other´ on the poll.
Would actually be content with a Stevens for everything if that´s all I had.

Leann Sharp does nice work:

She has made an Amp and a Steel Guitar Cover for me, both custom and both top notch.

Good Luck! Hope you find that Special Bag!

Ben, I can´t help with the cabinet ID, but your mention of the ´CE´ mark got me to thinking and searching. I always figured that it meant ´Consumer Electronics´, but that was just a guess. I did a little searching and found that it means ´Conformité Européenne´ which is of course French for...

Mike posted while I was typing. Tom has good stuff. I wanted to say that I believe that you can get a better price and customer support here than you will with Amazon:

HTH. Good Luck with the Project!

I don´t know what value pot you need, but AES has pots with switches:

HTH. Good Luck with it!

I can´t speak to the Condenser Mic, but I have the Gold Tone ABS Dynamic Mic with the Stompbox Preamp. https://goldtonemusicgroup.com/goldtone/accessories/abs It works great, but it is not real loud. The Preamp provides a lot of tone shaping capability and the volume is certainly enough for a small...

Ditto that!

Michael, good job! Thanks for telling us the tale. It is most interesting.

Jimmie- Guitars are still for dale. ... He’s sold a few on ebay , but as far as I know, there are at least 60 left. ... I know Jimmie would like them all, but if your friend´s friend is already selling them off, it sure would be nice to see them listed here on our Classifieds as well as his othe...

FWIW, Elderly still offers the old style cables:

I don´t think that you can go wrong with a National if it is in playable shape.

HTH. Enjoy!

Good Job! Congratulations to Both Bobbys.

Bump it up!

Nice pedal. Needs a new pot but a good buy at $75 shipped USPS. Trade for something interesting or useful? What have you got?

Please PM with interest. Thanks for looking.

Yes, an interesting thread. FWIW, if I am interested in a product on one of the high volume sites like MF or Amazon, I seek out the bad reviews. If there are any legitimate complaints, that is where they will be found. Sure, there are some knuckleheads in there, complaining about the product when th...
