Got a Loar LH300, I play classic country, folk, singer-songwriter stuff on it, some flatpicking, some Travis picking, some Carter style, not a lot of chord strumming... My favorite strings are Martin Monels (if you try those, give them a few hours before judging them, they don't sound good fresh...

Very cool, I like it!

Check out the "Old Guitars in B&W" group on Facebook - it's both about unusual and rare guitar models from the 50s & 60s, as well as about modded ones. It's true, mods apparently weren't that common - as has been mention, mostly adding a Bigsby, changing the color, or having your name inlaid on...

The OP's experience with the THR matches mine - I had a 1st generation THR10, and "tinny" is how I would characterise the clean tone I got from it with a Tele. The other thing I hated about it: Over the top exaggerated effects - impossible to get a decent subtle reverb, or a simple one-repeat...

Today: Country Side Of Harmonica Sam Bought that T-shirt when they were playing the Rocking Race Jamboree in Spain, in February 2020 - last large concert/festival I saw before the pandemic started... They're coming to play here next month - looking forward to that!

I love that band!

You can get a Warmoth neck for WAY less than 350$ - last time I checked, their necks started at 157$, no upcharge for a 1-3/4" nut (I got a couple of those myself). If you want fancier woods, SS frets or a nut made by them, it will be more, but you'd have to go pretty fancy to reach 350$...

2CVs were ubiquitous here, when I grew up in the '70s and '80s. By the '80s they were already pretty dated designs, but they were consdered "cult classics" by hippies and alternative-minded folks (kinda like the VW Beetle was in the US - whereas over here, the Beetle had the image of a stodgy...

Great band! Saw them live when they were touring after the release of "Liar" - to this date one of the most intense live shows I've ever seen!

A Strymon Deco is the only effects pedal I use these days... PERFECT Sun Studios-style slapback echo, and the "saturation" part is the best fattening booster/low gain OD I've ever had. Totally worth the money, because it saved me from spending more searching for better options.

I put this one together in 2019, and it has become my number one Tele since: This is a knotty pine body I bought at least 15 years ago, wanted to build a rustic barncaster, never got around to it, forgot about the body, then found it when cleaning out a closet. It's finished with a slightly...
