It came with a case but I need something I can lug around an airport with my other baggage. I won't be checking it so a really padded gig bag with backpack style straps should do the trick.

Gig Bag for Short Scale Acoustic

Can anyone give advice on a nice padded gig bag for my Santa Cruz Firefly Acoustic guitar? It measures 36"x13"x3.75". Thanks!

I got it!

I bought one on ebay yesterday for $ 100 plus $ 15 for shipping. I'm thinking it will be great for kicking around and leaving in the car without worrying about it. I really like the Taylor GS mini but the Applause cost $ 400 less.

Ovation Applause AA13

Has anyone played this short scale acoustic? How does it sound and play. I'm thinking it might be good for leaving in the car, camping, kicking around with no worry. They are $ 149 with free shipping on Amazon.

side magnets

The magnets are on the sides. The top plate completes the magnetic field. These pickups came on the Supro Ozark guitar. Ry Cooder saw a guy in Mississippi playing one and put one on his Strat. It adds a lot of sustain and is high output. Great for slide.

What's a fair price to pay for a late '70's Musicmaster?

Cur, I like your headstock way better than the one I got. I'm taking it in to get set up next week. I'll play it for awhile before I decide what mods to make. I was thinking that some lipstick tube pick-ups would look bitchin' on that guitar. Just wish I could get a tortise pick guard.

mods for Rondo SX vintage white strat 3/4

Okay, I just got my 3/4 rondo strat today. I love how it looks and feels but it won't stay in tune. Also, the pick-ups are just okay. I was wondering if you guys could share your mods. Should I just replace all of the metal hardware, pick-ups, and what about the pots and electronics? I wish I could ...

It's a 23" scale. I like it better than the short duo sonic. It's actually closer to the Gibson ES-125 3/4 that doesn't have a cutaway. Roy Rogers the blues/slide player uses one.

Thanks everyone! It plays really effortlessly. I really like the larger gibson frets and small neck. They go for between $ 1,200 and $ 1,500 which is cheaper than the Gibson ES-140 but still reasonable compared to full size vintage guitars.

You are right Keith takes the 6th string or bottom D off of the normal DGDGBD tuning that the blues player used.

Also, I forgot! Dobro "G" tuning that the bluegrass dobro players use is "GBDGBD".

Keith Richards used "open G"(DGDGBD) for songs like "Honky Tonk Woman", "Brown Sugar", and many more. He learned it from Ry Cooder. Bonnie Raitt uses the same tuning up a whole step to make "open A"(EAEAC#E) Muddy Waters and Robert Johnson also used this tunin...
