I suppose residency in Nashville does deserve more mojo tonz... Does that mean he wins?
Not just residency in Nashville! He makes a living in music, how many people can say that!

Those replacement tuner buttons are too white! I soaked mine in coffee until they matched the binding. —If it ain't broke, fix it until it is. |

Yeah, they were put on before I bought it. At least they're original klusons! I would have cried many tears if someone had stuck schallers on that headstock. —IMO. |

Jake gives me WAY too much credit, LOL,! But my Gibson does kick booty, Ha! Had a '51 J-45 but it's gone now. Preston, those tuners are definitely too white. BJB, I've got a late 40's Silvertone archtop that I love, so much so that I sold my '36 Gibson built Cromwell, solid top, X-braced archtop and that sounded wonderful, complex, but that damn Silvertone tugs my heart strings.

The tuners really don't look nearly that bright in person... I think it was just bad lighting and an ipod camera. I actually really, really like my classical. La Patrie Etude, pretty nice. Neck and finish is almost exactly like the Godin 5th Avenue archtops... Pretty great sound too. Best classical I've owned or played, and I've played some really nice ones. —IMO. |

Two old guys from Europe. On the right: Framus Sorella, with two unknown pickups (they will go away, and a p90 neck pu will come), great acoustic sound, and a really comfortable neck. On the left, a hungarian beauty, shortscale (baseball bat) neck, pine top, huge box, great sound, and it's really loud . These two are 120yrs old together! original compositions (low-level demo stuff /out of tune, etc) myStuff not my best, but i don't like to be in a musician community without anything to show Last edited: Sep 12, 2014 02:34:32 |

This is the guitar I plan to perform with at the NW Acoustic Guitar Contest & Concert. This will be on Sat. Sept 27, 2014 in Vancouver, Washington (adjacent to Portland, Oregon) at Shorty's Garden Center, 10006 SE Mill Plain Blvd. I'm scheduled to perform in the program at 3:30pm for ten minutes, solo, as a special instrumental flatpicking feature. I have prepared four songs for instrumental solo surf guitar. The contest is for fingerstyle, with picks not allowed, so I'm not in the contest. I used this guitar to record the leads for the songs "Manhunter," "Fantwango," "The Rescue," and "Undertow" on the Insanitizers' CD "Wild Surf Guitars." It is an Ibanez "Euphoria Steve Vai Signature model." It has a very chimey, clean and dynamic sound, both acoustically and electrically. For an acoustic guitar it has remarkable sustain. Its body is 2-1/2 inches thick and slightly smaller than a dreadnaught. I carefully lowered the string height at nut and bridge.

How is the 12 string Noel? specifically the neck. I love 12 strings, but the necks, especially on acoustic 12's is usually too darn wide for my not so large hands, and i get hand pain after a little bit of playing. —"You can't tell where you're going if you don't know where you've been" |

The neck feels just like the one on my 6-string Sonoran, which feels just like a modern Strat neck. Nice C shape. Not too thick, not too thin. I have to measure the radius of their fretboards, but if I close my eyes, it really does feel just like a modern Strat. The body is the same size and shape as my Sonoran, as are the electrics. Having an on-board tuner is also very handy. These are all part of why I got it. But the other reason is the sound. One thing I like about my Sonoran is, plugged in, it sounds more Beach Boys than John Denver. I wasn't looking for a folky sound. The Villager is the same way. Plugged in, it doesn't sound like the folk or country-oriented 12-strings I've always heard. I wish I'd had it in time to play California Girls on it last Saturday. That's how it sounds. I love it. One more thing. No photograph does it justice. It's gorgeous in person. —This is Noel. Reverb's at maximum an' I'm givin' 'er all she's got. Last edited: Oct 09, 2014 20:03:31 |

Chris, I think I ought to add that the Villager seems to use the same scalloped bracing and neck attachment as its six-string body-double, the Sonoran. I can't say if this will be a problem in the long run or not. Some very expensive 12-strings are built the same way, while others reinforce the neck joint and use "more supportive" bracing. I took that into consideration while choosing a 12-string, but ultimately went for the familiar and comfortable feel of the Strat-like neck, and the tonal quality of the Villager's amplified sound. —This is Noel.
