  Yes - it was me who replied! :)
  Thanks so much Olá for sharing! It's great to learn the foundation first and then move on to the next thing, so that you don't learn some patterns the "wrong" way, and then automatically practices in that way for too long.

  Let me know if I can ever help you with anything else!
  All the best,

  Hi Jack!

  There are many brands that build amazing world class instruments. I've tried some guitars that are considered
  some of the best guitars ever made - and some of them I didn't like at all, because they didn't fit my playing style, didn't feel
  right in my hands and didn't produce a sound that I liked. But I have colleges that play that exact guitar - and it sounds amazing
  and feels amazing in their hands. All about taste and feel just like strings etc.
  Asking who makes the best acoustic guitars in the world is kind of like asking who makes the best music in the world.. It's up
  to you what you like - and I always suggest for someone who looks for a new guitar to try as many instruments as possible.
  The guitar that you just don't want to stop playing - that's the one! :)

  I'd say it's not about price either, because there are certain guitars that have a sound and/or a feel that just makes you want
  to keep playing it, but the guitar doesn't necessarily cost a lot at all.

  But this is just my humble opinion and I'd love to hear what other people think about this subject!

  Thanks for asking about this Jack!!

  Hi @michaelsmith!
  Instead of micing up an acoustic guitar, which can be really hard to do to get a good sound there are guitars with built in tuners. You can run these types of guitars through an amplifier with a standard mono-mono cable. The sound is much more reliable and much easier to get. I've got on of these myself.

  Mind blowing discovery! Thumb pressure needs to be near nil. Any thumb pressure restricts my ability to correct it's curve! Leaving this here in case anyone needs this.

  Hi,

  When you see gear for sale, especially pedals, with someone accepting "reasonable offers" how do you usually gauge that? People seem to oscillate from "not a dollar less" to "half price.

  So- am semi-new to guitar building and completely new to the forum! My first kit was an SG-type 12/6 double neck. didn't come out great but not awful either and sounds ok. It has glued/epoxied in necks. Just recently acquired a strat kit. Of course it's got a bolt-in neck. Am a bit apprehensive to drill the 4 holes and twist in the screws- worrying if the neck might crack. It must happen now and then although I've never seen it. My other question IS- I haven't checked the frets and neck with a rocker or gauge yet but in the event the frets need leveling - is it fine to do that before drilling the neck fastening holes as long as the neck fits snugly in the pocket? Hope this wasn't confusing-

  cheers,
  bill

  Hi there!

  I’m using two microphones, and usually it’s a couple of Neumann TLM 102.
  From there I go into a simple preamp/daw which is called steinberg UR44. I use an iMac with protools.
  When I record I have one mic around the 12th fret and one mic on the bridge.
  In any recording software program like protools or similar, you can pan the channels right and left - and I usually pan one mic around 35 to the left and 35 to the right.
  I do a simple eq mix where I usually cut a bit of bass and get rid of a couple of harsh frequencies in the upper midrange etc. maybe boost the highs a bit on the bridge mic.
  And I add reverb to both channels.
  Very simple recording process and I don’t do much at all really, just two mics and a bit of work with eq and then add reverb.
  Kind regards /Emil

  Hi,
  I've got my ltd EC1000p several months ago and everything was working fine. but the other day when I plugged my guitar in JACK 1 with mono cable the magnetic pickup didn't work. when I use the mag/piezo selector only piezo pickup have sound. It means I don't have the blend of both magnetic and piezo or magnetic pickup right now. please help me with this. what could be the problem?

  it is good to know that when I use JACK 2 the magnetic pickups work fine and when I use a stereo cable in JACK 1, just piezo pick up have sound and nothing is coming out of magnetic pickups.

  I appreciate any help on this.

  About This Listing
  Larrivée Model L-03-12R Acoustic 12 String Guitar Description

  This acoustic 12 string guitar was made in Canada in 2003. This is a solid wood guitar featuring a maple bound solid Sitka spruce top, solid rosewood back & sides, a mahogany neck and a maple bound ebony fingerboard. The 25.5” scale length neck joins the body at the 14th fret giving a comfortable amount of play room:16" Wide (lower Bout) and 41" in Length

  The neck profile is thinner than you may expect and the guitar plays incredibly fast for a 12-string with low action and very easy playability on a smooth ebony fingerboard with maple binding. The X-scalloped bracing helps project and resonates beautifully. The head stock overlay and bridge are both made of ebony with a Larrivée logo inlayed on the headstock and dot inlays on the ebony fingerboard.

  This is one of the best playing 12 string acoustic guitars that I have ever played. It looks, sounds and feels fantastic and comes with the original Larrivée hard shell case. This is a fantastic player’s guitar that is setup perfectly and ready to make some great music!

  Specifications:

  Make: Larrivée Model: L-03-12R Serial Number : 64519 Year of Manufacture : 2003 Country of Origin: Canada Finish: Satin Natural Condition : Mint Body Type: Acoustic Upper Bout: 11.625” Lower Bout: 16” Waist: 10.25” Body Depth: 4.75” Top: Sitka Spruce Back and sides Wood: Rosewood Bracing: X-Scalloped Neck : Mahogany Neck Joins Body: 14th Fret Headstock Overlay: Ebony Fingerboard : Ebony Body Binding: Maple Heel Cap: Maple Fingerboard Binding: Maple Inlays: Headstock Logo, Dot Fingerboard Inlays Rosette: Herringbone Top Purfling: Multi-Strip Frets: 20 Frets Scale Length: 25.5” Nut : Bone Nut Width: 1 7/8” Hardware: Chromium Tuning Machine : Silver Larrivée Tuners Bridge: Ebony Saddle: Bone Compensated Bridge Pins: Compensated With Dots Case : Original Larrivée Hardshell Case
