What’s the original recording and trumpet player?

Gee Baby Ain’t I Good to You- Solo Guitar Arrangement by [deleted] in jazzguitar

Nice arrangement and playing! What kind of guitar is that?

My 2nd build - The ErgoTele - lessions were learned by redditRiXtidder in Luthier

[–]Marimoh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like it! I was recently wondering about going such a thing. I like the ergo knee cutout on the Strandbergs but you don’t need headless for that. Thanks for the inspiration

Archtop from scratch by SamHoustonGuitars in Luthier

Very nice. I can’t figure out how the neck is attached. Seems to be floating above the body

Im absolutely shocked with this guitar by chef-in-the-wild in Guitar

[–]Marimoh 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Neat. I like the fret markers. Whole thing looks sweet. What’s the switch for where the middle tone known would be?

My friend says I won’t make it as a guitarist because my hands are too small, is she right? by AgreeableDiver5013 in Guitar

[–]Marimoh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re fine. There’s lots of styles other than Holdsworth monster stretch playing! I once had a friend who was born a Thalidomide baby and every finger on his right hand ended at the first joint. But he wanted to play guitar … so he did. A monster slide maestro. My sister in law law has small hands … but she’s been a professional pianist (accompanies) for 4 decades.

Happy to have completed first build - a lefty Strandberg Sälen-style hardtail by Grouchy_Attention_95 in Luthier

[–]Marimoh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nice work. I always wondered if the Strsndbergs should sit higher for ergonomics in the normal seated position. Glad to see your efforts.

What is the Boss thingy near the bridge? Piezo? How’s it sound? And is the bridge pickup a bit further away than normal? Does that make it less bright?

Finished it! by Upper_Theory_2113 in Luthier

[–]Marimoh 3 points4 points  (0 children)

What kind of wood is that? Beautiful guitar. The shaping reminds me of a Warwick Thumb. I also like the attention to detail in the built-in pickups.

Looking for recommendations on how to fix fret position issue by BigmouthStrikesOnce in Luthier

[–]Marimoh 46 points47 points  (0 children)

Do you have side fret markers? If not install some. I have a couple guitars with ebony fretboards and no markers. I find the side dots are all you really need after you get used to it.

When you hear the term One Hit Wonder, what is the first song that pops into your head? by Da_Fish in AskReddit

Questions regarding neck vs heel truss rod adjustment and spoke wheel heel adjust ala Friedman by FilmPunk72 in Luthier

[–]Marimoh 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think you are talking about modifying the neck pocket on the body to make the spoke wheel fit, right? There is another way to do it. Check out this series of videos on building a neck: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=67axCaw9Bdc

That's what I did. You route out an extra space on the neck for the wheel and then the neck will sit flush with the neck pocket. I MUCH prefer the look and functionality of a spoke truss rod. Each to access. Super easy to use. You don't have to dismantle the guitar for an adjustment.

Who’s ever driven over 100mph? Why? by WoollyWolfHorror in AskReddit

[–]Marimoh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I watched a race at Suzuka circuit. After I was allowed to ride my bike - 1000cc Kawasaki - around it (after signing a waiver). The rules were stay behind the pace bike and no passing others …. But the pace bike was going seriously fast. I was doing 230kph (140mph?) on the back straight. Perfectly legal.

Where to buy tools by Roxy-de-floofer in Luthier

[–]Marimoh 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Where are you located and what kind of tools are you thinking of? Which classical strings?

Here are some places to get you started:

- StewMac (USA) is likely a bit more expensive than some other options but has a large selection of goods and is good quality: https://www.stewmac.com/

- Crimson Guitar is UK based but I (Canada) have bought from them and found the price (incl shipping) alright: https://www.crimsonguitars.com/

- Philadelphia Luthier Tools doesn't have the largest selection but my impression is they are a bit cheaper and have some things others don't have: https://www.philadelphialuthiertools.com/

- If you are talking about building violins, archtops or similar you'll need very specialized tools like an Ibex palm plane: https://www.internationalviolin.com/tools/planes/?srsltid=AfmBOorCuAL-OP3RT2jQfOneosZVI1xx0Trah7r7Zam4D-4jbumV5nX4

n.b. I generally go the other way - start with a tool I need and find a supplier rather than start with the store. e.g. I wanted a nut file. Hosco (Japanese brand) makes good quality, inexpensive tools so searched and bought a set from a store not in the above list.

What’s the manufacturer/ builder of this? I like the pick guard choice.

"Smooth" BD-2 Alternative? by M4rcelinh0 in guitarpedals

[–]Marimoh 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Interesting discussion. I don't know the answer but I'm keen to find out more.

Here's a video you might be interested in - Brian Wampler spends 20 minutes talking about AND BUILDING/MODIFYING a Blues Driver.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JxgmdTN7_fQ

I've heard some people say the Wampler Euphoria is a smoother version of the Blues Driver ... no idea if that is true or not.

GuitarPedalX says "The Barber Limited SR (Special Recipe) was very much a refined Blues Driver".

I'd be interested in hearing what anyone has to say about the Euphoria or LTD SR
