Manly?

Did you know that “Manley Footware” was the moniker given to BJ Cole when he played with the satirical(but very good) British Country group Hank Wangford Band? Everyone in the band had a ...

Is this the 22.5” scale version or the new 24”?

You had your front legs cut down???? OMG.

Do you have a secondary mechanism underneath to adjust those balanced notes? You need enough slack on the rod to let it raise and lower the string enough. Here is a thread with lots of info.

Ron makes an excellent guitar. I’ve had many makes and models over the years and my basic early S10Jr is one of the best, even with its very simple mechanism. He is also pretty open to innovation.

It was discovered that if you lay a flat backed electric guitar like a telecaster on a Formica counter top and give it a strum it's volume is amplified tremendously.
Quite a discovery!

It looked to me like the pot metal on some knee lever parts was replaced with milled aluminum. That’s a good thing if that is true.

Nothing sounds or feels like a push pull. They aren’t easy to monkey with so better have a knowledgeable Emmons tech nearby. Or don’t monkey with it. That’s why I gave mine up, though there is m ...

There would be interest in the guitar as is. Please don’t part it out.

GFIs are well designed and built. Their keyless system is super easy to use. Tuning the open strings is great because of the knurled nobs. You don’t need a tuning wrench like other keyless models. T ...

This needs to be posted in “wanted to buy” section.

I have had a few GFIs and like them. Their keyless system is particularly great. Very easy to tune the open strings on the fly. I currently have a D-10. It plays smooth and stays in tune.

I’m curious as to whether the knee levers needed to be changed, too. If I understand correctly you paid a grand for the Starter?

I would put E13 on the 7 string neck, leaving off the lowest note, usually A. If you want to play Hank Williams 1940s/50s tunes I’d use this set: (hi to lo strings) G#EC#BG#EC# https://steelguitars ...

Well I wouldn’t say it’s impossible to find them but most people that have a Fender 400 or 1000 make their own using turn buckles from the hardware store.

Very nice! I like the tuners and the carbon fibre(which reduces weight considerably). Good work. Very nice playing as well.

I just bought one for $500 that was sitting in my pals garage. Ser#7270 with slotted rod adjusters, not hex.
It had been SERIOUSLY messed with. The “improvements” actually added to the weight a ...
