Some of the Yamahas I’ve collected along my path. The top right is an FG700 brown burst. It’s at my booth in Hidden treasures right now as is the FS800 in the middle bottom.

These are strange times indeed.
Let music be our companion

This is the most current lineup in my booth. I’ve been avoiding extra travel for all the obvious reasons. Also slowed acquisitions. I’m wishing everyone a safe journey through these troubled times.

Let’s talk about strings!
I usually prefer Ernie Ball Earthwood string for my guitars at home. The Aluminum Bronze style medium light are my favorite. The G,B,E strings don’t seem so twangy with these. And they don’t turn my fingers black like Phosphor bronze types of strings do. I’ve tried Santa Cruz parabolic tension strings for my Guild Jumbo and they are like heavenly chimes but kind of pricey.
Did you know that the general rule of strings is 24 hrs of playing (info from my guitar instructor) for professional performers?
Strings when new are like a towel fresh out of the dryer to your ears! I usually change them when the sound begins to dull or tuning becomes less steady.
Try something new from time to time and see if the sound changes for you. Often we get in a routine and forget to try new things. You never know what your missing if you don’t experiment.
What is your favorite string?

I just added the pretty gals to the mix 😁the Fender is actually a Dg8s Hard Rock Cafe model with a solid spruce top.
The Mitchell is an MD-100 very nice shape. I think it was what I refer to as a closet knocker. Like someone bought it and put it in a closet and forgot about it. I didn’t see ANY of the usual pick marks on the gaurd. A great find.
Come on in and see if there is something that catches your eye 😁
