1 and 4.
I've changed nut/saddle on around 20 acoustics - all improved volume and sustain. When tone is too bright I prefer to dampen it with ebony saddle. I use heavy guage strings which also...

I used to have about 20 videos on youtube but noticed they changed the "raw file" names for my more recent additions to a direct path to my C: drive. I also noticed my hard drive taking off like a...

Another update - I did not like the bright tone with TUSQ saddle, although volume and sustain were superb. I crafted another saddle from black ebony and notice a slight decrease in brightness, which...

Update for anyone interested in the AJ-100:

Changed plastic stock saddle for Tusq Gibson-style saddle with B-string compensation. Of course, I had to file it to intonate 4, 5 and 6 string plus add...

Kazz - yes the body curves of this guitar are less figure 8 than most jumbo's.
Shape is more like a dreadnought. Epiphone calls it a new shape for jumbo guitars. Bouts are 11.5/4" and 16/4.75". My...

Bought a pair of these from SameDayMusic.com $119 ea w/free shipping.
Both arrived, nicely packed in Gator cases, also purchased, next day.

For $119 the Epiphone AJ100 is a bargain. Solid spruce...

$99 at Samedaymusic.com and free shipping.
Ordered two as part of a guitar order - both arrived next day.

Cases fit Epiphone AJ100 Jumbo Acoustic guitars perfectly. There is a small gap at lower...

Friends,
It took until this week before the Vintage Sunburst color was available. I ordered a pair of them with matching jumbo acoustic Gator cases; one for my daughter and one for me. They arrived...

Elizabeth Shue has always been one of my alltime favorite hollywood hotties. She was great in The Saint - agreed!

Good one CB - Tombstone is one of my all time fav movies - one of Val Kilmer's best performances, I believe. I quote several lines from the movie regularly. Keep up the good work with the movie tips....

Thanks Strum - good advice. Thanks also, Algonquin - I'll check that link.

CB - I notice more responses here than at WGF. I've been out of town and catching up to where I'm peeking around in the forums again. Way to go on the backup job and challenge!

The only story I...

Thanks Strum - yeah, I've already read those. They are old, from 04/05 and so I doubt they pertain to recent AJ100 - would you agree? Also, I wasn't sure they were talking about the same guitar...

CB - hope everything resolved well for you and leather pants gram.
Presuming the affirmative... ahem? Heard something about a "report back"?

Update: After phone calls and emails to Samson and attempting everything in the book to get the USB mic up and running - I returned it. End of story.

I'm sure there's a thread or two about this one here somewhere. Some of you may recall that I got my daughter started on acoustic guitar at Christmas with a low end Yamaha classical. She's been...

Not sure where to post this one.
Was in Dallas this past week, attending a conference. Friday night some friends and I got reservations at a nice Italian restaurant on southwest side of town, called...

That's awesome CB - hope you will post your mom's review when it's in!

I know it's late to chime in on this one but I agree with Jampy. I bought a 1711 Balladeer in mint condition for $500 - deep bowl. Best sounding/playing guitar anyone could imagine. Fantastic...

Good stuff guys - and CB, you're way out of my doghouse on Field of Dreams.

Yeah Shiner... I hear you on Field of Dreams... just cut your heart out to see his father coming out of the corn and ask him to have a catch etc... very interesting that CB doesn't get it. I think it...

Wow, this has turned out to be a good thread - enjoying all the comments - thanks folks! I picked up a copy of August Rush when it came out in Walmart, last Tue or the week before. One I never saw...

I'm glad all of you saw the movie - thanks for your comments. If I may hijack my own thread... on a contrary note, I bought Val Kilmer's "the Doors" and was disappointed. This movie is several years...
