Thanks ,as usual, Richard and Tad

Teja is an informed and talented spokesman for the acoustic guitar world….. I always learn from Y’all.

[Hank]

Ditto…. I’m in on the poster….but since I have an order in on a Custom 000 , I can only afford to “Thumbtack” it to my wall…….I have to pay for Tuners ya Know.

[Hank]

As We ALL Did…..I mean Damn… We are just guitar Players…..a little perspective here Y’All

[Hank]

I always believed that R. Hoover’s Guitars were built by Elves…..

[Hank]

Richard,

Since you are the “Grand Guru” of the recording arts, I’m going to take your advice and get a Zoom H4…..If it’s good enough for you (and Barber Derrick),”The pro From Dover”, it’s more than good enough for me.  Thanks for listening Y’all

Thanks gentleman,

I have an android phone but it has a decent recording app.

I also have a mic to phone connect adapter.

I would like to set this up with 2 mics on the guitar and one for voice.

I have very good voice mics.

Are there any reasonable quality gitar mics for a reasonable $$ ?

[Hank]

Nice Bert…….I was waiting for you slide right into “Apache” after the first few bars.

[Hank]

The early stories and personal contacts of Richard Hoover are the building blocks of SCGC….. “Thanks for the memories” Richard.

I enjoyed it.

Looking forward to having you string the 75th 000 with the new DADGAD strings.

Maybe under SCGC logo…centered on Headstock ?

[Hank]

Good idea Daniel.

The Taylor 12er is the only guitar I have with a truss rod cover…..The gold sapwood might match the inlays on the headstock.

[Hank]

In an email exchange with Carolyn I learned that (as most suspected) the sapwood was going to be an “out cut” and not usable on the 000.

She is going to send me the Out Cuts along with the guitar……..I’ll make something from the sapwood. A big Toothpick ???

[Hank]

Welcome Andrew….. beautiful build coming your way…….feed us more….We can take it !!

[Hank]

1/2 Hr. …4 hrs……..all the same when your hands are 75 years old……They hurt about the same all the Time.

I play about 2hrs. a day 5 times a week….. I know playing for oneself is pretty easy compared to “Performing” but even a missed chord can hurt.

But I learn more secrets every day…….

[Hank]

This guitar will probably live the vast majority of the time I will enjoy it in DADGAD.

Will be voiced/setup/and strung for DADGAD. Old Hands are liking that tuning more every day.

A. Blackwood/ Moon Spruce.

Carolyn is out of touch till 7/12 so I sent a email asking about the Gold Sap wood……I too like the look.

It looks like the back outline cuts it out.

[Hank]

Good thought Bert…..We have a dearth of good acoustic guitar techs here in S.W. Florida.

At first thought I thought SCGC could do it and that EQing it would be very simple….But you may be right.

Or …..Maybe ……James May might be willing to do so ???
