Dave Fengler replied to Cali S&P Aficionado's discussion S&P Showcase Folk in "guitar hospital" in the group "Seagull" Spoken Here ... (also fluent in "Godin" Gab)"I do also. I've bought all of my guitars used and in nearly all of then the truss rod was loose, allowing far too much bow in the neck. I took a risk on a $60 Alvarez 12 string with 1/4" high action to find a loose truss rod.…"
Dave Fengler replied to Cali S&P Aficionado's discussion S&P Showcase Folk in "guitar hospital" in the group "Seagull" Spoken Here ... (also fluent in "Godin" Gab)"The measurement should be made with the string held at the first fret to take the nut out of the equation. Your measurements will be a bit lower with this method. I use 3/32 on the low E and 1/16 at the high E.
You should check your neck…"

Dave Fengler replied to Bob Edwards's discussion Getting a bit more action . . . ? in the group "Seagull" Spoken Here ... (also fluent in "Godin" Gab)"Are you sure the previous owner added the pickup? The S6+CW comes with an under saddle pickup (the +).
I have a S6+CW Cedar Folk, also possibly a 2004. The sound from the pickup was very weak. The saddle was very loose in the slot.…"
Dave Fengler commented on Derrick Miller's group Acoustic Newb"Or you could come up to sunny CT! It gets in the 90's and humid here too, just not 3/4 of the year."
Dave Fengler commented on Derrick Miller's group Acoustic Newb"I've been a beginner on and off (mostly off) for 30 years but I've always loved chords. I can play many open and barre chords but I haven't taken the time to put it all together to play much of anything. I like to finger…"
Dave Fengler commented on Derrick Miller's group Acoustic Newb"Phil - The last chord in your song, C/G, is that the normal open C with the G added on the 6th string?"
Dave Fengler replied to Cali S&P Aficionado's discussion New Seagull "Excursion" Line in the group "Seagull" Spoken Here ... (also fluent in "Godin" Gab)"I contacted Michel Belanger last week about the price. At first he said we don't sell direct, contact your local or online dealer for prices. I explained I haven't been able to find it for sale. I asked what the suggested…"
Dave Fengler commented on Jud Hair's group "Seagull" Spoken Here ... (also fluent in "Godin" Gab)"Thanks guys! I talked to a guy in Nashville (who happens to be the author of a well know guitar teaching program) and he said not to worry about it as long as they're not broadcasting it or recording it to sell it. Since this is a…"
Dave Fengler commented on Jud Hair's group "Seagull" Spoken Here ... (also fluent in "Godin" Gab)"I think I remember something in this thread about performing copywrited songs at an open mic. The place hosting it had to have a special license or be fined if they were caught. The post said some places only allow original songs…"
Dave Fengler replied to Cali S&P Aficionado's discussion New Seagull "Excursion" Line in the group "Seagull" Spoken Here ... (also fluent in "Godin" Gab)"I sent Michel Belanger an email asking what the prices are. hopefully he can find out."
Dave Fengler replied to Cali S&P Aficionado's discussion New Seagull "Excursion" Line in the group "Seagull" Spoken Here ... (also fluent in "Godin" Gab)"I'll go with years! :?)"

Dave Fengler replied to Peter Pauer's discussion Gull or Taylor decisions, decisions. in the group "Seagull" Spoken Here ... (also fluent in "Godin" Gab)"Your Gull card should be revoked for even thinking this question. :?) What are your requirements? Do you prefer the wider Seagull neck? If so, your question is answered. Taylor's are a bit overpriced for what you…"
Dave Fengler commented on Jud Hair's group "Seagull" Spoken Here ... (also fluent in "Godin" Gab)"It was a typo. FR vs. FG.
Congrats!"
