“I am seriously jealous of everyone’s lists of the guitars they have! I want a PRS, a Taylor, a Strat, etc....dangit. You can’t play all of them at once, tho! Rock on and Merry Christmas everyone!”
No you Don’t want a Taylor. Only guitar I refused to work on. and I worked on All brands.
Unless they corrected it the damn necks fall off the guitar if you look sideways at them.
No Dovetail joint holding it to the body. Just set screws.
That horse hockey doesn’t belong on a $10 Fiasco Del Rey.
Yep - takes twisted wires to reduce magnetic flux and not a lot of room to get twists and separation in wires ... seems like the original wireless was there for that purpose.
If you’re serious about dropping Thousands on a steel string flat top Just buy a Martin and call it a day.
You’ll never look back with any regrets if you do.
My main guitar is a Martin D1. Bought it for $600 used and just love it. It’s definitely getting well worn. Got others but it’s my go to.
Actually, if you check out my profile page it’s the one I’m playing. This was from 2010, I think.
Congratulations!
Martin = Magic!
And I’m serious as a heart attack about Taylors.
But don’t believe me.
Go look it up for yourself.
Very fragile way of attaching a neck.
It is a two-way toggle. You may or may not have one, but you can get noticeably less noise out of your rig by flipping it to the correct position.
Supposedly if you have a three prong plug you don't need one. Note that you may have to switch the toggle position every time you set up at a different place. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!⛪🇺🇸
I have a 1964 fender band master that I have owned since 76. It has a polarity switch. These days I use a fender hot rod. No polarity switch on it.
Thank you for your analysis. I didn’t know about the antenna effect.
No charge, and no problem.
i had the same problem with my Telecaster after i had some customisation work done on it. The “functional(?) alcoholic” who did the work neglected to ground the new bridge. i knew there was a problem just as soon as the noise went away as i touched the strings. (My body became the new ground point. Not a good position to be in if you’re concerned about your safety.)
As for the wireless connection on the OP’s first post, that can also cause problems if there is an impedance mismatch. i’ve actually heard police and fire department communications come over the wireless transmitter to a guitar and wireless microphones. It is an issue to consider.
