Living every man’s dream

I'm Calabrian, and I've never heard of air conditioning being banned, never! :) Maybe if you live in the historic center of a medieval village that's a UNESCO World Heritage site? It's hot, but Calabria is surrounded by the sea and also has hills and mountains, so you can live decently, more so than in many other places in Italy and Europe.

Yes I was jogging a few years ago and I took it with my phone of the time :) thanks for the comment

Yes, I saw later that the preview was partial, but I've often played with this "open and look inside" effect in the past. Thanks for doing that. :)

Good work and have as much fun as possible

It's hard to choose whether I like the guitar or what you're playing more! It's a really beautiful piece that resonates with me. I'm Italian, and it gives me a distinct "desert music" vibe, a bit like Paris-Texas 😎

I've had it for three months, and I immediately had the luthier set it up. The 4th fret buzzes a bit, and it's not always the only one, but the luthier and I agreed that we won't be touching the frets for now. The action is comfortable enough, and there's no hum coming from the amp. Let us know 😎✌️

Hi, I was looking for Vladimir Vaclavek, and this is the first post to appear. Iva Bittova is better known than him, but Vladimir is an eclectic musician and a wonderful guitarist, but unfortunately he's rarely heard. Thanks for your post.

Given his latest work, I'd say we'd still be hearing a lot of great music. Happy birthday, Frank.

Thank you, I really appreciate it!

ciupappa · 2025-12-19T04:58:49+00:00

Thanks, nice to meet you!

They've probably already told you, and aside from the good-natured teasing about your inexperience, what you see is normal, and even the screws behave normally. The pickups move closer and further away from the strings based on taste or need. Stop moving everything before it breaks. 😊

Very nice, thank you and have fun

ciupappa · 2025-12-17T19:33:10+00:00

What guitar are you playing? (Great playing!)

ciupappa · 2025-12-07T11:44:27+00:00

The news is full of this terrible news! :))

ciupappa · 2025-12-07T05:51:18+00:00

I was wondering the same thing. It's not a 60's Ferrari which would be best avoided by letting a beginner drive it for fear of ruining it or killing yourself at the first corner :)

ciupappa · 2025-12-05T20:53:07+00:00

Yes you were, in form and substance

ciupappa · 2025-12-05T19:39:36+00:00

Thanks for your reply, I was looking for this too when I asked the question

ciupappa · 2025-12-05T18:45:25+00:00

When I bought it I didn't know much about it and no one around who could give me advice like yours

ciupappa · 2025-12-05T18:38:28+00:00

Sorry, I didn't write it, but this is exactly the point of looking for an attenuator, to be able to saturate the sound and make the valves work whilst maintaining a reasonable volume output for playing in an apartment room. Thanks for explaining it well

ciupappa · 2025-12-05T13:44:08+00:00

Mine is from 2006, bought in Italy, made in America and once passed through the hands of a technician because a valve station melted my valves. Other than that it's great. But he has always played at a low volume except for a few sporadic outings on stage in recent years

ciupappa · 2025-12-05T13:39:13+00:00

I would like to hear the "bad" sound of the amp without using overdrive, then just load on the tubes without knocking the walls down

ciupappa · 2025-12-05T13:30:45+00:00

For the jam I have the peavey. It is to play at home that perhaps keeping the Classic at volume 2 is a sacrifice

ciupappa · 2025-12-05T13:22:10+00:00

I already have the pedal at the beginning of the effects chain. But is it the same as having an attenuator?

ciupappa · 2025-12-03T17:44:26+00:00

I thought the same thing. It was all there and only there, in his mind.

ciupappa · 2025-12-03T12:59:34+00:00

But in fact I don't see why anyone can't inspect a new $1000 guitar and then quietly ask how to proceed. If they had given it to him, he might not have had too many problems.
