Del Ray,

Can't remember where I read that there was a Hawaiian Guitar School in Philly on Chestnut St in the 30s. Wondering of "Jack" was associated with it....

Reminds me of an Audiovox, those colored fret markers of a Vega, but I'd bet it was a period Aussie copy of a Ricky. I don't think it's worth a fortune, but it's kinda cool

Jim Dulfer here on the forum supplied a replacement tuner for my prewar Ricky at a reasonable price.

My thought on capos (any type of guitar): when they come up with one that moves the dots on the neck appropriately I might start to use one.

Moving over to dobro sometimes rather than just lap steel I'm trying finger picks again, so this thread is timely for me. Wondering, if picks, what kind? I just went back to an old set of Nationals ...

Just want to chime in that I've heard this guitar in person and I can say that it sounds really great to me.

I've done business with Kyle and I can tell you that he's a really straight shooter.

IMO, meet them in person, exchange cash and the steel after you've had a reasonable chance to check out the steel. Period. Same goes for Craigslist. I would not send any money, any way, any how, to so ...

Eezee, Chase, Black Rajah.

Matt, I’m not trying to be historically or stylistically accurate or anything, just having fun playing some compositions that I love in a style of my choosing, that’s all. I fall in love with some ...

Mike,

Very cool, but the composition sounds to me to have the influences of where Gottschalk lived and travelled, New Orleans, Paris and the Caribbean, but not the Pacific.

Does anybody have a guesstimate sale price for this guitar please?

It seems that Guitar Center has one for $1350 albeit without a case.

The ad states: OHSC. This product comes with a case. ...

I think the sound that Red Rhodes got with his own handmade pickups is something unique and not quite obtainable...

Hey folks,

If I was in the acquisitive mode, I'd think this was something I'd be picking up at that price.

That said, I do want people to know that Jim Dulfer knows a hell of a lot about vintage ...

Done! Thanks for sharing this...

So it is string thru, sweet!

Yeah, I'd be real interested in seeing the pickup too...

Sweetwater has B-Stocks of the portable units on sale, just ordered one. I'll keep you posted!

Keith do you consider the PGP portable unit to be as good as their rackmount units? Wouldn't hurt for me to try one of these, though I have used a couple of other ones that didn't seem to help much. ...

Keith, I don't think this is of much general interest, but I have tried a second power line to the 3rd floor that I assumed would sound a lot cleaner, but it didn't. Whether this demonstrates an RF i ...
