EB 11-52.

Winged tuners WERE the Cat's Meow. Easier than any predecessor, look cool, work great. Then Phase Two proved there was yet a quicker, easier, just as good device. Neither is a deal breaker or maker; they both work so much better than anything sold by Fender or Gibson. But for just pure cool...

I moved from Virginia to San Diego in August 1980; have not moved back East yet, but I did migrate to LA in 1983. Neither is remotely like the east coast: weather, culture, housing, economy. San Diego County is huge, there are dozens of communities. Coastal, inland, north and south. Spend some...

Disappointing, but not a surprise. My Tonare is magic, the best among many otherwise great acoustics. But $4K is a price point that stunts the market. Great product. Suck economy.

I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong, and maybe even if I'm right, but: The fascination with BRW is basically nostalgia. Acoustic guitar luthiers after the turn of the century were using rosewood for separate fretboards, and the primary wood source was Brazil. Move forward a couple...

I played my DIII at several gigs until the volume knob fell off.
