I wouldn't...can't say it definitely would harm your acoustrics, but can't say it definitely wouldn't, either. The air above the vents will be dry.

From my soundman perspective, or when I'm playing with pro sound provided, I'm a firm believer in just go DI. I'm asking, though, for my musical partner Julie. We often play shows where there's no PA provided (she then uses her EONs on a stick for vocals only), or there's a PA but no soundman, or no monitors, all the usual problems you expect at small places. So it's good for all of us in those situations to have our own small amp to hear ourselves, especially her as she likes an inordinate amount of herself in any monitor provided. Having her acoustic through the monitor also will cause our backup singers to stop singing or possibly vacate the venue. Having her acoustic through a little amp behind her and not facing the rest of us works well for us, usually. So we're looking for a solution that fits those varied parameters, which may include buying a little acoustic guitar amp, maybe a pedal of some sort to get the best tone, and definitely a better guitar for her as she currently plays with an inexpensive Fender acoustic that we had to glue the headstock back on recently. Terry D. Sounds like the Crate CA125 (or whatever the new models're called these days) would be a good match, then.

I prefer to plug directly into the PA, via a Baggs PADI, and hear myself through the monitors. But, if that's not an option (having to use a less qualified drummer, who doesn't understand dynamics, for instance), then I like the Crate 60 or 125 watt acoustic amps, and run them into the PA, so that the amp essentially becomes my "guitar monitor".

Mostly, a brass saddle help lam-topped gutars that are a little muddy-sounding (adds brightness and sustain)... OTOH, sometimes a brass saddle can add too much brightness, making some guitars a bit shrill. Inexpensive enough to try, and easily reversed if you don't like how it sounds, though.

I'm working on a "setlist update", but when I have time to finish it, I'll put it up in this thread. Cool idea, btw!

Have two of these...one that I put a Celestion GT-35 in, the other has a Jensen MOD10-50...not crazy about the original "Blue Marvel" that came in them. Difficult to say which I like best, but love both.

This thread was: Originated in '05. Resurrected in '08. Resurrected again in '09. Resurrected again in '10. Resurrected again in '11. And now, resurrected again in '11. I think in a couple of years, I'll resurrect it again. Dontcha think it's interesting that the thread originator was Zombie1? Well, it is getting on towards Halloween!

I have that era of Japanese Hummingbird, a Lyle, it is great guitar. It is a very faithful copy as I have had the real thing in my possession. There are those that say that this guitar is a laminate, but I can find no evidence of that. My electric Lyle is very evident that it laminate. Bob Your Lyle has laminated back/sides, but a solid top...most of the tone comes from the top, so a lam. back/sides guitar isn't always a bad idea.

Is your guitar under warranty??? If I were you, the first thing I would do would be to contact Godin (Seagull) and tell them about the problem, even if the guitar isn't under warranty. Maybe they will send you a new tuning peg for free! Here is the link: info@seagullguitars.com Good luck!! Edit: I would also include a picture with an "X" showing the position of the defective tuning peg and your address. It would make even easier for them to just grab a new tuning peg and mail it to you and maybe send you and email too to tell you about it! Just my $ 0.02 !!

Doubt he'll ever sell it...and after his passing, it'll very likely end up in the Country Music Hall Of Fame or some such similar place of worship. As would only be right.

At one time (early to mid-70s?), Carlos was the budget line for Kaman (Takamine/Ovation/etc.), before the Jasmine line came out...some were pretty low-dollar plywood wonders, but some were actually pretty decent Pacific-rimmers. A music store I worked at, back in high-school, sold a lot of 'em and most of the ones we carried were Martin knock-offs.

My dad lets me use his...one of the warmest,most balanced sounding acoustics I've ever played! Especially since he told me me it was standing up on a bar and fell off! Despite that, its always,always in tune. By far my favorite guitar Welcome to our happy, if somewhat dysfunctional, family, gents... The FG335 is a decent little guitar for the $$$...used, they're a fantastic value, as a rule. And they're hard to break! (I've got the FG160, which is kind of the 335's predecessor, and it's survived many camping trips and drunk friends! )

Ello. I know this is an old bidding that has ended but I have been curious about it for a bit now, just haven't got round to asking anybody about it: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=120493517947&_trkparms=tab%3DWatching Got sold for

Thinking about ordering a "blue abalone vine of life" set for my hollowbody electric...as rarely as I use that one, surely the stickers would last quite a while... Tempted to bling up my #1, the Guild JF-4, too...
