Thanks Dean, an awful lot of work was done to get that right and almost all the folks both north and south really seem to enjoy the show and while I appreciate not all the music was to everyones taste it was about being Canadian and our diversity of…
Not sure what they saw, but I was watching and listening and so was Neil and he thought it was pretty darn good also so I guess it all really depends on what they like, in fact I will go out on the limb here and say that it was damn fantastic from b…
Part of the True American Series if I remember rightly, I won't comment on the price you paid?????okay well maybe just a touch to much, decent guitars and all.

Well before you do either it would be better if you gave more information, you don't explain anything when you ask like that or maybe you'd like us to guess first, no just kidding, You need to describe more info as to what is wrong and if you could…
This is what they do to fix the binding, but it gives you an idea as to what binding is and multi-lam binding means that they are using more then one piece glued together to give it a pattern.

As you know, the weather was great and everyone seemed to have a fun time. I should have more on-line time soon, and I think I'll even advertise the next camp in November through the community here at Acoustic Guitar. Take care, Dave

bruce wilson said… - Hi Ship,
Thanks again for the advice regarding the Gibson B-25. The seller really didn’t want to sell, wanted some attention more than anything. That little guitar was a real looker, but too small for me anyway so it all worked out. Well, since Feb, I have been on kind of a buying spree, I was hot to get the expensive Taylor, if you remember, but I was whining about the action on these guitars...I still don’t understand why they come so high-strung. I’m glad I laid off of the Taylor, though, I’ve played a few friend’s expensive Taylor’s since and I’m convinced that other than the occasional great trebly ring (and that is not consistent, as you stated) , they are for the most part pretty ordinary guitars, and they just don’t feel....right to me. Feels like a big expensive potato chip, and the humidity issues just seem too troublesome.
Since then I’ve picked up a ‘65 Gibson C&W, for $1200.00, another Vox C&W in great shape with original case for $350.00, and just got a new Blueridge BR 70, which, I must confess, was just so damned flashy looking I couldn’t resist. It’s a great guitar, I like everything about it, even if it looks like a hooker guitar, and I’m glad I got one. It’s loud as hell, for one thing. The Gibson is a fine instrument, very playable, sounds great in a distinctive slightly sweet, tinny way. It has a couple of probably alcoholic beverage-related, pick digs at the lower outside edge of that huge pickguard which makes me wonder how a previous owner could flail away that violently and regularly and get any kind of decent sound from it. The Vox, of course, is the dump-truck version of the Gibson. On recordings, the Vox especially sounds good.
Feeling pretty happy with the collection now. The Vox is the one I play the most, it’s just got a unique, rich sound and I like the weight of it around my neck for some reason. It really does play like an electric, there’s no limitations on it being an acoustic, as is the case with most hollow bodies, even strung with heavier strings.
Best to you and thanks for all your comments. Hope you’re enjoying your music.
Bruce Wilson

T Pender said… - Thank you again for your feedback-it helps for me to bounce things off others who are more knowledgeable so I appreciate it. I'm embarrassed to admit I don't know the Robert Plant song-which is funny because I like him and downloaded several songs he did with Alison Krauss earlier this week-I like their treatment of a couple of old Everly Brothers songs. I will give "Ship of Fools" a listen.

- Hi Ship, Thanks for your info regarding the vox acoustic. Mine definitely has mahogany rather than maple sides and back. Ever played one?

- Great if you could attend the Spring GSGW. This one is a jam session; no formal lessons as such but some folks put on impromptu workshops. Otherwise we just have a great jam party, with excellent food and company. I just registered myself a couple days ago. mdd

- Thought I might add you as a friend in the community, as our musical interests seem somewhat similar. I recently picked up a Godin 5th Avenue archtop, primarily for swing jazz (but it's great for open position strumming as well). i wonder if you've evr attended the Georgia Strait Guitar Workshops here in White Rock?
