          I’m fond of the low tension SCGCs on an early 90s OM with straight bracing.  Very comfortable all round and remarkably good sound.

            It’s quite smoky still.  My wife’s asthma is flaring.  I’ve seen a lot of compassion and assistance already flowing to the victims of the fire….and, along with Daniel, some responses which are less so.

            Hoping the first responders can get this under control soon.

              Hard to hear that he’s losing the ability to play. He’s played and written a lot of great music and has effected a lasting change in music.   Time to contribute something to helping him if there’s a way –

                  Really nice!

                  The backwards tilt of the saddle helps a lot with intonation and overall bridge strength, as I understand.

                    Have a small tube preamp (ART Tube MP/C) which sounds very warm and works fine – indeed, better – with cheap 12AX7s than better ones (lower voltage, so the tube never overdrives).  Used with an SBT (PUTW, Baggs, etc), it’s big and warm; the compression and the eq make it easy to dial in for either solo or band work.

                    Always use the reverb on the board (or the amp) if possible – it’s usually better than outboard reverbs, IMO.

                      I’ll get everything boxed up. The headstock on the 000 is Braz, but the rest of it can come along just fine.

                      Send me your address and I’ll get them out to you :).

                        That with a blonds top and the original logo would do it….

                          I’ll be there for the Dec 1 show – pls send details!

                            I’d vote for a 00 cutaway, 14-fret, long scale. Sitka/Indian or mahogany would be fine….

                              Curious what they don’t like – does it take up too much space in the mix?

                                I’m going to have to look into those strings!!

                                  Ah, ok. I’d have been sad to have missed you.

                                  And I only saw the normal FBJ, not the electric one.
