My cover/adaptation of the Byrds' "Gunga Din"

Hi folks! Here's my latest recording (featuring my 330/12). It's my take on what this song might have sounded like if the Byrds had it recorded two years earlier in 1967, and if they'd added some exra instrumental bits to show of the McGuinn 12-string sound. I had fun with this. Hope you like it! ht...

330/6 & Vox AC15HW1

It's been several years since I posted on these boards. I hope you dont mind me popping back to share some photos of my pretty new amp, together with my faithful 330FG - has been with me for 13 years and still number one ... some things never change. I think they make a lovely couple! The camera is ...

I have it on good authority that it was assembled in Mos Eisley! It's a Jabba the Hut Custom Shop one-off!

Re: Rob's CD mix - Volume 3!

Got my CD yesterday, Rob. Thanks very much! It was in our post box as I went out to band practice. Great stuff! I didn't mind sitting in the traffic jam so much because I got to hear the whole thing pretty much. Love the garage stuff in particular.

Re: Neck adjustment problems, suspected stuck truss rods

Just thought I'd pop back with an update now that a week has passed. The relief on the neck has possibly every so slightly increased. It seems very stable (bear in mind the weather - and in particular the humidity levels - here has been anything but stable!). The bridge still has to be set very high...

Re: Neck adjustment problems, suspected stuck truss rods

Yes I'm impatient .... but it's good news. I went and checked on the guitar again this afternoon. Encouragingly the neck was still flat (at the same height at each end). So I decided the neck had settled in the right position and that it was time to tune up again. Even after an hour or so though, th...

Re: Neck adjustment problems, suspected stuck truss rods

I'm afraid I misread your instructions and did not make the measurements before loosenign the strings. However, the guitar has been sat in it's case overnight with the strings loosened (zero tension on the neck from the strings) and the nuts on the truss rod also loosened (not snugged). I have taken...

Neck adjustment problems, suspected stuck truss rods

I have a rather annoying problem with my new (2009) 330/6. I have owned and have been playing the guitar for approximately two weeks. I had come to notice some fret buzz on the high E and the B strings. Not so much buzz, but it was clear that they were not vibrating freely and were catching somewher...

Good advice! Stick to selling vacuum cleaners, Mr. Vorwerk! :wink:
