Re: Sitting and playing a 650

I just ordered a much more adjustable strap. Will pay attention to my position. My Casino and acoustics are much lighter, may be a learning process. And I found out the warranty card was not sent in, just folded.

Opening case after shipping guitar in cold weather

I have always bought guitars with Nitro finishes. These I would not open the case after delivery for 12-24 hours. My 650 arrived this morning after being in a tick Durocher very cold weather. What is the rule of thumb regarding opening the case? Thanks.

Any experience with different ...

Re: 650 neck change thickness question.

I play a Martin with a low profile neck, this is not as low profile as Larrivee or Taylor but it is a nice, for me, profile. The Martin Modified V caused hand issues and I had to sell a guitar I really loved due to that. I cannot imagine that the 650 will be any wider than the Martin and it is a 1 3 ...

Re: 650 neck change thickness question.

Thanks, that is great information. I think '93 was the first or second year so it would be the thinner neck. I hsve a feeling either will be ok. Thanks again.
