Hello Andrew - I have various scaled guitars, and I find that I need to put heavier gage strings on my shorter scaled guitars to get the same action. I'm not...

Hi Trevor, thanks again for your help. The capo analogy IS helpful. I have now decided that the difference I'm experiencing is due to the chunky round neck...
Hi Trevor, yes I have tried a feedback buster with my small Collings with the B-band in it and it helped (not cured). I also have a Baggs Dual source in my...
Yeah, Andy, I totally agree the rubber bungs are horrible and not always the solution. If I want to use my Brook live with much mic at all it's a must though...

I love my Martin 12 string, a D-28. But to make it enjoyable, I had to get a good tuner. It's hard enough to keep a 6 string in tune, but 12 strings? Oooh! ...
