... Of course, if anyone hears a recording of ME playing this stuff, they won't want it!...
No chatter in here for at least two days! I've done about five hours' worth of woodsheddin' in that time, I admit. Of course, that's about all I do anymore,...
As a matter of fact yes. But that was Tuesday night. Meanwhile I've been on one of those writing bursts I get. Started 4 new songs in the last 5 days. I also...
Hi Bill, We don't know (I don't know) the expression woodshedding - please elucidate for a Limey. I now work part time - two/three days a week. It's now 7.30...
At lunch today I took a trip over to the nearby Blue Moon Music, a guitar shop here in Fayetteville, Arkansas. I found two guitars that I spent most of the...
Hi Bill, I know l;ittle of the Walden, but looked at their site - I assume that are built in the far East ?? Looks a little like the Vietnamese/Aussie "Ayers"...
... They're designed in the U.S.A. and built in China. I do think they look "good for the cost." The Corts are "designed in the U.S.A., built in Korea." ... ...
lets us know if you decide to pick it up, if not both ... At lunch today I took a trip over to the nearby Blue Moon Music, a guitar shop here in Fayetteville,...
... I assume ... look ... The Waldens seem to be a pretty recent brand - at least in the UK - but they're picking up a lot of very good reviews in the UK...
... I really am not in need of the Walden. I've just bought a *NEW* Takamine EF261SAN which is all the OM-size 6-string that I need. I really like it a lot! ...
Robert, I think Slot head steel string guitars are enjoying a return to popularity. Martin has a nice selection, I played an all mahogany 12 fretter a few...

I agree with Lance, the 12 fretters are gaining some momentum. When you think about it, it's really practical. Most acoustic players don't play beyond the...
... I'm really excited about "breaking in" to playing one of these (slothead 12-fretters) on the cheap like this--although it is a "parlor" (is that equivalent...
Martin started in the U. S. with classical guitars which he also built in Germany before coming here. When he started building steel strings a lot of...
I think the key thing is you said that it sounded nice. I've seen a lot of great "machined" guitars. I mean, when it comes down to it, where's the line...
... That brings to mind a thought I've had off and on for some time: An instrument commissioned from you would probably range up above $4,000 all told, I...
... Hey, this just occurred to me! You're on the road down from OKC toward DFW! I'm currently up in Fayetteville, Arkansas on a work assignment, and I've been...
Yes, please give Lance some equal time, and other builders. too, but you can come visit anyway. I'll send you more info in an "off list" email. I'm on these...
Bill, There are a lot of reasons folks buy custom guitars, be it physical needs such as small or large hands and the need for a tailored neck, maybe a...

... It does, Lance, thanks. I simply think that you guys need the opportunity to toot your horns on a forum like this, particularly as we are having a ...
Hello all (or, maybe I should make that, "Howdy"). I am a northerner who will be mostly lost in the Dallas area this Friday evening, traveling by car to...
"Now I ask you, should my wife be incensed? Go figure!" Laffin' - I have helped a few friends with this issue by telling them the way I got around it - which...
There's about 5 Guitar Centers located around Dallas. Go to this link and punch in 75077 as a zip code and you'll get addresses. www.guitarcenter.com Also...
... Doesn't look as though you'll be in Houston long enough to do any "guitar sight-seeing," and I can't help you with Dallas. But I'll bet someone (maybe...
... The problem with GC is, you've seen one you've seen 'em all. Now, if you're in the market for something IN PARTICULAR, that's one thing; GCs will often...
Vince, Thanks for the help. I will probably pass on the Guitar Center's unless I am in serious need of some sitting and playing time. You are right, once ...
