Let me know your subject and I will get the info out....Thanks....Will

At 7:56am on January 8, 2014, Will King said…: Hi Greg,

I saw that you were offering you help at a meeting! If I remember correctly you build gits and amps. Can you put together a half hour presentation?

We have setup a meeting for Sunday, 1 to 4pm, February 16th at the Strum Shop. I will not announce the date until I have setup the program, so let me know asap.

Thanks,

Will King

Great stuff on your page

You got it happening!

At 3:20pm on July 16, 2013, Blind Lemon Cello said…: Hey Greg, yes the VCC is your 9v + side, use either of the 2 grounds for the 9V - or input - sides. I use a stereo plug so it acts as an on off switch, so I just use 1 ground lug for both 9v & input.

At 3:34pm on January 5, 2013, Rand Moore said…: Hi Greg,

The Second Ever Sacramento Area CBG Get-Together is going to be held next Sunday afternoon (Jan 13th, 2013) at The Strumshop in Roseville.

At 10:42am on November 12, 2012, Phil Aspill said…: Hi Greg - thanks for your comment - they seem to work quite well and I thought it was better to drill a small hole by the eye rather than have the strings pass through the headstock, Best, Phil.

At 2:02am on August 26, 2012, Bluesheart said…: Good lookin' builds!

At 2:01am on August 26, 2012, Bluesheart said…: Thanks for the invite! No I have not tried the whammy hinge yet. So many ideas , so little time!

Buzzing strings when fretted. Frets look good. I have a zero fret license plate guitar. Break angle I can inprove at the nut however the buzzing is coming from the bridge, I used a banjo bridge.
