Really well done … Wonderfuly intimate, informative on many levels.Hands down the most honest program you’ve done.
The collaberation projects define the beauty of both the surfing and guitar worlds.
I’ve had great interaction with Brenda……Tell her Zorro said Hey.
Congrats to all concerned.
I really don’t need another capo…..But….I do need a Shubb/SCGC capo LOL
Restrung with the DADGAD set to open G……Really can’t hear any difference from the standard Mid-tensions….may be feel a tiny bit smoother……SOUNDS Wonderful.
I’ve been here fo several iterations of this Forum….. I learn So Much. I have 7 of my 8 guitars strung with SCGC PARABOLIC strings …both Mids & Lows… For one very specific reason.
10 years ago I was lucky enough to be able to begin to explore the very limited world of “Boutique” ( again I HATE that word…Please Mr. Hoover, supply another Adjative for your Brilliant creations) guitars. I had bought a SCGC Da-1 Braz/Sitka from Guitar Center in Ft. Myers Fl…. It had been rode hard and put away wet , but sounded unlike any guitar I had ever heard. It intoduced me to a world of intruments I never thought I deserved to be in. But I was in a rare positive financial phase of my life and was wanting to get serious about my decades long screwing around with six steel strings and dive down the rabbit hole of high end guitars.
I joined the “OLD” SCGC Players Forum and the AGF and learned about Collings, Huss & Dalton , Bourgouis, and several of the “Slightly Less Expensive” solo luthiers. I went to Nashville and stopped in “All the usual” guitar shrines and played every builder I could find…… I took My SCGC D-a1 with me to compare. In Gruhns I came across an older SC VS amongst a hundred other guitars hanging on the 1st floor of the store ( Dee and I did get invited by George to the second floor..but that’s another story) and it’s voice tapped my frontal lobe just like the D-a1.
I had decided that I might explore other builders so I went on over to Artisan Guitars and played 10-12 models of the above mentioned builders, both new and used. I came across a guitar encased in its own cabinet with a price tag that made me look twice. The owner asked if I would like to play it, I said Please.
It was a SCGC Tony Rice….one of his !…Y’all know what that sounds like….
So after playing and listening and then listening to someone else play the Various builders as I sat a few feet away, one builder had “The Sound”….. SCGC had my sonic heart.
SO….when “The Strings” came out I put them on the Ramuda….except for one.
Bottom Line…. The SCGC “Sound” has my soul… I believe the ‘Parabolics” enhance and expand the voice of my guitars ( including my 33 year old Martin D-28 and the Tayor K62 ce 12er).
I AM NOT a Musician like most of Y’all…. I’m just a picker with 65 years of bad habits ,but I am old enough to know what I want to hear and to know the builder whose guitars from which I can create the sonics of my heart…. Thanks SCGC…. Good , Good Vibrations.
I think Richard N. planned all along to push Richard H. and Rick about Mando strings. !!
Ricks explanation re “Parabolic ” was very clear and understandable.
As usual thanks All.
Mike 63 welcome. You are now the proud owner of an Iconic Sc model.
I have a 2001 F Cutaway Maple/German….I almost sold it to a friend in Ca. and actually sent it to him to try before deciding.
It was strung with SC Low tension Parabolics.
My friend said the strings were dead and he restrung with these : Elixir Strings – Acoustic Phosphor Bronze with NANOWEB Coating – Elixir Acoustic Guitar Strings – Custom Light (.011-.052).
He loved the guitar but did not purchase ( I’m so glad he didn’t) and returned it to me with the Elixers…..It is a GREAT COMBO…..Very articulate , Loud , clear and with a very Jazzy /Ventura Highway sonic Vibe.
Try Em… You’ll like Em …..Unless you have a very heavy attack !….
