  1. Agreed. That is definitely not an okay place to hang guitars. Heat will rise off of those baseboard heaters. I suspect that the air anywhere in that room will be pretty dry when those heaters are going. Wherever you hang them, monitor your humidity closely.
  2. Funny how that is. Adding extra mass around the bridge would normally be considered a "no-no." Brass bridge pins didn't help my D-28. Blech! And yet doing this on a laminate top seems to help it. I had an old Yamaha FG351SB all laminate. Brass bridge pins definitely changed its tone for the better. If you have a higher quality solid top guitar, a brass saddle won't buy you anything in tone or intonation that a good quality bone or even Tusq saddle will. If you have a laminate top guitar, all bets are off. Try it and see.
  3. 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?
  4. It's a joke. Funny, haha. Binh's guitars are fine instruments... Really! Lighten up. It's a joke!
  5. I'm in a trollin' mood today. ...But it goes to figure, that if an instrument is built in 80-90% humidity and moves to oh, let's say New Mexico, it will fall apart very soon if it's not humidified to the extreme... Playin' one of Binh's guitars in Arizona is kinda like disarming land mines. Ya never know what will happen.
  6. ...These water-bombers could come in really handy, if Vietnam went through a dry spell and all these small guitar factories without climate control started blowing up. Hmm. Sounds like these over-humidified guitars could be weapons of some sort.
  7. And yet, you continue to engage me... ... but it's apparent that has to be. Are we having fun yet? Made enough of a jackass out of yourself yet?
  8. ...I'm a productive member of the forum now! Honest! Just ask... well, er.. umm... .. Ask me.
  9. ... I'm abrasive and an asshole,... As one abrasive asshole to another, why don't you give it a rest. :poke:
  10. ...CASE CLOSED!... You're new around here, aren't you?
  11. Well..... I certainly didn't mean to bring stir things up like this. My original comment was to say how good this thread was, and that I was impressed by what I could see and what I could hear of these guitars. I don't see any evidence at all that this thread was started to sell guitars, except to provise a little publicity for the guitar maker ( I heartily approve!). As I've said all along... I find it amusing that people want NOT just a beautiful guitar, NOT just hand-made to YOUR specifications, NOT just evidence that these guitars can sound GREAT, NOT just that it's a small family business producing good-quality guitars, and NOT just that all this comes for 300$......IN ADDITION people want first-world working conditions and humidity control....! GIVE THE GUY A BREAK......! You didn't stir anything up. We all know who stirred things up. The overwhelming majority of viewers and posters here have enjoyed seeing this guy's work... even me.
  12. I have been rather polite in my discourse, I see that this is impossible for you. So sad that you seem to take what I've said personal, and seemingly lack the ability to understand what I've been trying to say. Perhaps it's a language barrier? Let me re-iterate, and I'll try to do it in a very basic way for you. A GUITAR BUILT IN WET CONDITIONS STANDS MUCH LESS OF A CHANCE OF SURVIVAL THAN A GUITAR BUILT IN A CLIMATE CONTROLLED ENVIRONMENT. There. Was that so hard to get? I'm glad, again, that you've had good luck with your guitar, and that it's a D-? killer. It's interesting that this thread has been around here longer than you have... and it's been a pretty civilized thread... until you showed up.
