For the most part I agree with LJ. Cedar would be my first choice then Redwood or Mahogany. Back from Mahogany or Walnut. Sides from from a very hard stiff wood, laminated would be even better. One of the problems of getting warmth is the air volume of the body. You need more air inside to get lower frequencies to resonate. You could do a less stiff top but with the kind of tension present I don't think that would be a good idea. Don't do a tiny sound hole, it doesn't have to be huge just not restricted with fancy fretwork covers. Marshall can drop a pickup in it and, played through a Twin Reverb, volume will be no problem. Heavy Metal Psaltery. Yeah, but what kind of UST would you have to make for THAT !

(Actually what I'm about to take is even worse. Oh well.)

The proof is in the pudding, as I always say. I like to take a skeptical view of everything I read/hear. It could be a Chat/gpt article for all I know. Yes, I find this article very damning. Have a nice day. Marshall: the proof is not in the pudding. The proof of the pudding is in the eating. I'm just sayin'.
You can say whatever you like, Howard. I will fight to the death to protect your right to be wrong. www.dictionary.com/e/slang/the-proof-is-in-the-pudding/the proof is in the pudding [ thuh proof iz in thuh pood-ing ]
March 9, 2022 WHAT DOES THE PROOF IS IN THE PUDDING MEAN? The proof is in the pudding is an expression that means the value, quality, or truth of something must be judged based on direct experience with it—or on its results.
The expression is an alteration of an older saying that makes the meaning a bit clearer: the proof of the pudding is in the eating. In other words, things must be judged by trying them yourself or seeing them in action, rather than on other factors, such as hearsay.
Another variation of the term is the proof of the pudding, which refers to the results themselves, direct experience with something, or the testing of something to judge its value or truth.. . . , OK, so maybe we're both right.

Actually drinking a Monster Energy drink for breakfast. Add a little water. Heat it up in the microwave. Not bad at all. You are kidding, right? Only clear liquids allowed today. Normally I drink a lot of hot/warm tea. It seems to help with the gunk that I normally in my throat. So, I’m diluting the energy drink and warming it up a bit. Not bad at all.

No. In the TV show the word Roslyn had a small apostrophe “s” that looked like a superscript. In one of the first episodes they talk about why the apostrophe and “s” were added. And why was that?

Good morning. It's a Gatorade day for me. Colonoscopy tomorrow. Pictures to follow.

For a long time I've been interested in these. So many Pros use them for playing live. Their palathetic pickup is supposedly individual string piezos. But most of the ones I like the looks of are 644 scale. Or something else wasn't quite right. Then I found that their thin bodies are 630 scale and the nicer ones have the upgraded pickup system. But they are pricy new. So I surfed on Reverb and found a used one in Japan for about half price. But it had to come from Japan. I asked people on Acoustic Guitar Forum about buying from a shop in Japan. People said this shop is very reputable. No problems. So I popped for it. And it came today via Fedex. Looks great. No duties or customs issues. I haven't plugged it in yet, but the guitar looks and plays terrific so far. It's thin sounding acoustically, as one would expect from a thin body (probably plywood top). But I wanted to try this for the pickup system anyway.

When I was about 12, me and Bruce Scholler found a big rock in the new area of the subdivision that was under construction. The rock had been dug up and discarded. To us it looked like granite. So, we formed a 2 person club; the Granite Club. Our motto was; Don't take anything for granite.

That makes sense. I grew up in the city, and I know it is the city where I will remain. Where else could I live somewhere that looks like this, with all sorts of convenience? I haven't owned a car since 1988, and the markets are within a ten-minute walk. That's just for starters. For "no car" there sure is a lot of highway in that picture. Somebody must be driving.

I watch the golfers in back everyday and I am always amazed that many don’t feel the need to take up a different sport. my golf game resembles Sherman’s march to the sea. Scorch the earth.
