We Write the Words that Make the Whole World Read

Well, Richard did it this time... and it's nice prose, not cheezy lyrics like our paraphrase in the title. The November issue of Acoustic Guitar has an article titled "7 Guitars that Made History." The editors of the magazine asked Richard to write the sections on the Martin D-18 And the Gibson L-5.

Frank has done it again!

gripper

He saw a need for a new tool and invented one to perform the task. When you are working on any guitar with a pickup, eventually you will have to tighten the nut that holds the jack in place. This is not a difficult thing to do provided you have access to the back of the jack. You almost always do... if you don't mind removing pickguards or back plates. Frank's new tool allows you to hold and tighten that squirrely little nut from the front of the jack. Imagine how much time that saves! It uses an eccentric knurled cam to grip and hold the jack securely.

LR Baggs announces the Anthem

After months of anticipation, the latest acoustic guitar pickup has arrived from LR Baggs. They call it the Anthem, we call it the Awesome. The big deal with this dual source pickup is that it allows significant use of an internal microphone without the typical problem of screaming feedback when you turn up the volume.
