Thank you, Howard and Jack. Gotoh SD90s dropped right in and the screw holes lined up. I love it when things work out perfectly.

I've just discovered that my Crafters Tut Taylor,l Tennessee does not have a parallelogram sound well, as advertised. It has no sound well at all!

Thanks for all the responses.

I sucked it up and took the thing apart and measured. The beard will fit in nicely.

I am anticipating having to fill in the small holes in the back of the headstock and having to re-drill for mounting new tuners.

Toothpicks and white glue to fill the small holes? Or is there a bet ...

Need to replace tuners on Crafters Tut Taylor Tennessean. Can't seem to find any exact replacements.

These are the measurements:

Mounting screws distance .87"/22.098mm

Thanks, Patrick.

Just wondering if anyone might know if the Beard Resonator Cone (10-9/16" diameter, 1-13/32 deep) will drop right into a Crafters Tut Taylor Tennessean square neck.

Thanks

Pause until loaded, then play.

I use the Electro-Harmonix Hum DeBugger. Yes, it changes the sound a bit; but in some cases that is preferable to the nasty, ugly, unmusical hum. Makes single coils usable in a bad hum environment.

SWR Workingman's 15 doesn't hold a candle to the Basic Black. It's way too heavy, and doesn't sound as good. The LA 15 is even worse.

Oops.

If you're going to use a compressor, buy a good one, a Keeley 4-knob or a DBX rack mount. A compressor of lower quality will not make you happy. And those comps you find in multi-effects devices--li ...

Get an Electro-Harmonix Hum Debugger.

Yes, it changes the sound a bit but it gets rid of the buzz.

I just looked at my records. I sold a 1935 B6 for $1600 ten months ago.

Prices for Rickenbachers have been dropping on eBay. Six months ago, a 1935 would cost you $1800. Today, someone got an early '40s one for $550.
