I went through a couple nicer Guitars. Had a Martin D-35 for years. It didn’t have a truss rod in the neck. Tone was to die for… but the intonation was the death of that Guitar. I spent a lot for a shop to fix it… Didn’t improve it. I had to bend the strings into tune on the higher frets. Very annoying.
Began recording… Had foundation tracks laid for half an album. Stumbled across a Taylor Guitar at a music store.
I was hooked. Traded in a load of gear… Plus cash…and started the Album over again.
The Taylor is long gone. I've turned into a gear head... Playing with effects... Enjoying the luxury of turning a dial and modifying tone, volume and attitude.
Recently, I've had the delight of teaching guitar at a grade school as a hobby. I've been buying guitars from the internet, fixing them up, and handing them off to students and friends.
The worst challenge I've been successful at... A broken guitar neck... Turned out really well.
I turned my hand at installing pickups in acoustic guitars.
Here is a picture of my current project.
