Re: 615 vs 450. Pro’s and Con’s

Re: Toaster covers on HiGains W/ adj. pole pieces
Hi ,
i found the look of the rubber gommets very good. In my opinion it sounds even a little clearer in tone when played acousticly.

Re: Symfonia Grand 420
Thank you very much. It makes me happy to give something back to the people at the forum. The hardest job on the restauration was to polish the overspray off. This is a time consuming work that can only be made very carefully by hand, because of the thin layers of original laquer that are always in ...

Re: what is "Mapleglo" and how to I finish my old RIC with it?
you have a beautifull guitar! clear laquered maple wood tends to get amber/honey looking after some jears, if exposed to daylight /UV.
