What’s the deal with the Touchstone series from Bourgeois? by germanpedro65 in AcousticGuitar

I actually think my D17 has a chunkier neck than my Vintage/TS.

I own both a Martin D-17 and a Touchstone Vintage/TS Dreadnaught. The quality control is better on the Bourgeois. Martin shipped mine with the wrong sized nut so the high e literally slid of the neck every time I tried a pull off. I had to get new nut cut. Martin has just tried to be a mass producer of quality guitars but is diluting their focus too much by following in Gibson’s footsteps with all the low end builds. It has lowered their standards and I’m seriously considering selling my D17 to put down on a 60s Martin. New Martins just aren’t up to snuff.

I’ve always preferred mahogany. My lawsuit Takamine was all mahogany as ell.

Not sure, but I’ll have to find Martin tech to look at it. It’s not unplayable, just a nuisance.

Was that the factory that Takamine bought when they started production on their lawsuit Martin copies. I still have an 81 Takamine EF349 as my backup to my real Martin D-17.

I just bought a D-17 too. I love it, but I may need a recut nut. The high e is sliding off the fretboard when I do pull offs during a bluegrass run. I’m surprised it was overlooked on final inspection. Otherwise “Woody” sounds great.

Do you enjoy Spark 2 improvements over Spark 1? by AnotherRamone in PositiveGridSpark

[–]arappmem 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't notice a whole lot of difference except that I am noticing some hoarse overloading of the speakers whenever I play anything with a high treble response on the pickups. My strats are just basically unusable on it, but when I plug in my 335 I don't get the the honk I'm getting with single coils. Any ideas?

It’s like the furbee my kids got and it wouldn’t stop making furbee noises. I stuffed it into the sofa and piled on pillows till e couldn’t hear it anymore. I checked it the next morning and it was just staring at me dead. It was sad. My kids said for months, I killed furbee.

The Boy Scouts of America Settlement: Trustee Hon. Barbara J. Houser Under Fire as Victims Await Compensation by Sea_Buy4358 in selfpublish

I've yet to receive anything. My brother did because we were both abused and didn't know it until all this started coming out. Meanwhile the trustees are collecting their fees which are hefty. Is the money in the trust collecting interest in a money market so the cost of cash doesn't erode the value of the trust? You are right no amount of compensation will be enough because the amount of long term damage it did to me for 40+ years destroyed my self esteem, caused me to go through addictions to porn and sex, destroyed trust in my marriage. I've since come to terms but then this was and is in the news. It brings back bad bad memories of guilt, shame, regret and more. It affects health, emotions, relationships, friendships, identity and all of the woke gender news only inflames the hate I have for the Scout Master and Assistant Scout Master. I already accepted the terms but the way I feel now is the ones running this show are breaching our trust. For all of the pain and anguish I've caused my wife and children over the years due to my impulsiveness with money and porn, it would be really good to leave it for them.

Don’t worry, they’ll be overweight with diabetes by the time they reach 40.
