I wish you sang on all of them. 😊 Thanks pal. Hope your summer's going well.

Thanks a bunch. I know that realistically I only have four or five that are pretty good and the rest are mediocre but i'm hoping to keep improving and eventually sell a few.

I'll check mine tomorrow for you.

The pot holes need to be at least 3/8" and the switch hole is 1/2". I just made all mine 1/2".

@@wildbillhackett Do you think I can still drill that hole without an electric drill?

@@sots0411 Well, I think you pretty much need a drill, yeah. You can sometimes find them at yard sales for 5 or 10 bucks.

​@@wildbillhackett thanks I'll probably buy a drill when I can.

Thanks!

I believe that's from the Glass Harp 1988 reunion concert.

Thanks for the suggestion. Wish I could sing it better.

Thanks. I don't remember the model number offhand (I'm at the gym so can't look) but they call it the Wide NT because it has a wide 1 7/8" nut width.

Thank you! Cheers!

I meant for it to speed up during the chorus but I possibly should have done it more-so.

I appreciate that. I hope one day it will be true.

Great idea!

Thanks so much. I wish I could have tuned down another step. It's awfully high for me. Fun song though.

Thanks ole buddy.

I've got one made by Rutter's guitars. It's very good but I still prefer a Switcraft type.

@@wildbillhackett If all you need is a 3-way, I understand. I did the same with my Micawber.

@@walterrizotto8668 I'm actually using the Rutter's plate because I plan to use a 5-way toggle eventually. I want to hide a coil splitting humbucker in the middle under the pick guard and make it so that the coils automatically split whenever I go to the 2nd and 4th positions. I'll get around to it someday.

@@wildbillhackett On my other, "plain" Tele, I use a reversed, slanted-selector-slot plate with the Stewmac 5-way mod. Had a 2nd volume pot added so I can balance the pups when in parrallel (same on the Micawber). In positions 4 and 5, one volume pot controls both pups.

@@walterrizotto8668 I'm hoping that with the humbucker being under the pick guard that this will bring the volume down to where it's fairly even with the the other pups. I need to ask Larry Dimarzio if he has a scat that will show me a way to wire a 5-way switch that will split the coils too. That could prove impossible with any of the switches currently on the market. Fingers crossed.

It's really not a very good sounding guitar but as I said in the video details I'm also using fairly light gauge strings tuned up to C, so that's not helping. Still, I'm trying to sell it.

Any guitar is good for strumming although a dreadnaught is generally best for that.

Thanks buddy.

Glad it was helpful!

Thanks so much. That made my day.

Hey, thanks Steve. Lyrics are the hard part. They are for me anyway. Hope you're doing well, buddy.

Either D'addario or Elixir. I'm disappointed though that the fingerboard is already getting ruts near the nut (where they all do eventually) after only a year.

​​​​​​@@wildbillhackettGreat review, thanks. You need reviews that tell you what you need to know. I'm considering buying this guitar. I already have their cheapest acoustic, which is astonishingly good for the price, though bright, and narrow nut. From Thomann I also bought the Baton Rouge X11LS/F-CC, with 46 mm nut, for that reason, and its fellow parlour, also 46 mm. Neither ampllified, both good, light, attractive guitars. You can always install a pickup. I bought an old Eko with ruts, sanded the underside of the floating mahogany bridge to lower the action (still too high, the problem with old acoustics), mixed the sawdust with wood glue to fill the ruts, then sanded them (not for everyone, but better than ruts, you just need the same colour wood). A walnut rubbed on wood makes a nice touch-up. I actually oil my fingerboards with sesame oil (darkish) never a problem with smell, which goes away. Pao Ferro fretboard on your guitar apparently between rosewood and maple in hardness, so you must play a lot! Loved your other songs, very resonant and evocative. I also enjoy the few videos of Jerry Knipper, on YT, with about 10 views each, you can't win 'em all. But like you, he loves guitar, and in return it loves him, And you too, beautiful playing, and songs, thanks. You rescue songs which don't often get an airing, and give them new life, buried treasure (Don't Think Twice, remember when BD first sang it).

@@jonathannewby5795 I really appreciate those kind words, Jonathan. And I'm glad at least one of us knows what to do about ruts! It's amazing how good a guitar you can get for very little money these days. I played the best sounding guitar I ever heard in my life a couple of weeks ago and believe it or not it was a $900 Taylor 114ce. It was very responsive too. I owned 314ce for several years and it couldn't begin to compete with this cheapo model. Unfortunately they saddled it with a child sized neck. It would be great for Travis picking though (where your thumb has to come over the top of the fretboard). Yes, I very much like giving new arrangements to old, obscure songs that I think are good. Was working last night on "Death and the Lady" although I doubt I'll be able to touch John Smith's version.

Probably. In 45 years of playing I don't think I've ever owned a guitar I didn't have to do some adjustments to when I first got it.

Thanks old pard. Got a bit screechy at the end though. Never could sing the high stuff. I'd love to hear Chris Stapleton sing it!

Will do Steve. I saw you had two new ones posted but just haven't gotten around to them yet, what with civilisation going to hell and all. :)

Sorry but unless it's the battery I just don't know. Of course the good news is that you can buy these things on Craigslist all day long for next to nothing.

I wish I could help you Chris but I don't remember much about that G series, nor what the A stands for.

Are you talking bout the guitar? It's a cheapy. Sounds pretty good though except the high strings thin out further up the neck. Otherwise it's been a good guitar. Thanks.

@@wildbillhackett i'm talking about the music, the guitar and your voice. I really like it

@@oL0B0 Well that's awfully kind of you to say Erick. Thanks so much.

Glad it was helpful!

Thanks a lot buddy. I appreciate you.

Gosh, thanks Brent!

Or Brandon I mean.

@@wildbillhackett. Brendan 🤣

Thanks Lori. I like this song a lot too.

Much appreciated! Have a good one friend.

Much appreciated buddy. Have a great weekend!

Thanks Victor!. It's always nice to get a good comment like that.
