Willie Nelson's Trigger has a hole right above the bridge , he even uses the cavity to house the tip of his fingers when he's not playing , 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you want/need a parlour guitar, maybe something like the custom Larivee that's floating around the ISS... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marvel Posted September 9 Share Posted September 9 I imagine it was a tough decision to move to Oxnard and close the Vancouver shop. Oxnard is a happinin' place for luthiers. Guild and Cordoba are also building there, Taylor and Fender are in CA as well. Lot's of great guitars being made these days, including those made in Mexico. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marvel Posted September 10 Share Posted September 10 IF I were going to get a parlor guitar, I would get a Lowden WL22 or 25. Admittedly, my Martin D Jr just about falls into that category, but the Lowden guitars would be my last guitar. I really think I'm done with big guitars.

I think that was the year that I also played with “EMP” as the final act at the festival. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin cornette Posted September 26 Share Posted September 26 The Gibson was left me by my father in law. I love it. It’s an Es235. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it slightly smaller than a Es175? (I love my Memphis built 2013 ES175 1959 anniversary model). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin cornette Posted September 26 Share Posted September 26 For anyone interested, the bronze firebird is a Jeff Baxter edition. For me it’s a work of art, the paint looks like if you touched it, it would still be wet and plays and frets so easy. It is a tad heavy. A good read for anyone who wanted to look it up. Also the little white head on top of the Orange combo is a positive Grid 40. A blue tooth amp that allows you to patch in and play along or use it as a streamer. Built in effects not too cheesy, tuner. Solid state also. I’ll leave y’all alone now hope I didn’t bore you. Just in a great mood to have my Lascala’s back in service. Hope y’all have a great day. kevin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
