Re: DR250 Time Lapse Photos

Well, seeing as about 103% of my guitar listening is done with my eyes, I'd say the Ovation's grotesque head stock looses. The oval back is really awkward to play on, too. It slides all over the place. Forget about sitting down while playing it. I use my ears, that could be the difference :roll: Un...

Re: DR250 Time Lapse Photos

You can hate me all you want, I'll even pay shipping :) They blow away any wood back I've played in my 40+ years of playing, and the electronics are perfect for the studio... Don Looks like we are going to have to have a intervention for Don.....he's become addicted to humped-back guitars. We need ...

Re: DR250 Time Lapse Photos

Not pictured: An Ovation acoustic/electric that I absolutely hate. Ex-girlfriend's dad let me "borrow". Kept it after stuff went south between me and her. Ovation...yuk....looks like the dad got the best of that deal by getting rid of it. :mrgreen: Absolutely. I'm just holding onto the Ov...

Re: Wedgehorn 8 lite

Hi Don, I didn't think a top hat would fit in a WH8. Does the tip of the top hat end up just in front of the baffle and through the bottom horn panel? Where it is it missed everything inside. Place it as far back as possible, so the ring just starts to overlap the angled edge. Be sure the higher an...

Re: Jack 10 lite build x 2

I will get finished pictures up, but have been swamped with work ;) They are just flat black sprayed right now, will put up the pics when they get the Duratex treatment...

Did run them real quick in the backyard, aiming towards the mountains, very impressive for the size, to say the least.

Re: 3 x WH8 MkIV build. Completed.

Yes you do. You also have a pretty handy, if oversized, home theatre, just quietly. Arrr now then Gregory, good point. If you knew my wife however, there's 2 chances of any of that coming into the house. It's "music crap" and it's only place is with all my other "music crap" (dr...

Re: Wedgehorn 8 lite

I didn't think any one else would be impressed at all.... Don Don, Having done a few builds myself lately lol, I have to say good on you once again! Perhaps to you it's no big deal to draw things up in CAD then cut them with a CNC, as that's what you do. However, watching you knock up builds in no ...

Re: Wedgehorn 8 lite

This thread is absolutely disgusting (I don't have a better word for it)! What does that mean? Couple years ago I was at Winter NAMM, and Monte Montgomery performed at the Acoustic Cafe'. After a series of leads, my friend jumps up and yells "I QUIT!" That was funny! Seriously, you've man...

Re: Wedgehorn 8 lite

Finishing up and 1/2" W8 and a W8 lite today. Down to the wire on this one. Had to borrow a pair of Mackie 450's, since no way to get the Jacks and the monitors done in time. I used the Mackies last time we did this, and they worked fine. Just 3 folk/bluegrass bands in a small outdoor setting. ...
