Any Musicians Here ? Fellow guitar junkies ?

[Magic_Man]

Any guitar/bass players here ? I've been a musician for 20yrs plus, and the last 10 as a professional luthier and tube amp tech.

Recovering musician and former audio engineer. 20 plus years as an IATSE guy. Did mostly stage electrics in the union. Got a good friend here that is a luthier as well. After many years as a house sound guy in multiple clubs locally, it seems I still know tons of folks in the scene. Nice to make your virtual acquaintance sir.

WTF is a Luthier?

 

[Arborealbuffoon]

It is essentially a "guitar mechanic".

WTF is a Luthier?

Hahaha, yes, a luthier is someone who builds or repairs stringed instruments.

Here!!! Been playing awhile.....like to tinker and fix acoustics. Have built one acoustic which turned out pretty good.

Do some brace shaving to get better sound. A true wannabe Luthier!!

My wife has guitars and a piano. I have basses and a drum set. We are far from musicians, but we do enjoy playing from time to time. @Magic_Man - nice avatar!

string instruments sound better through a vacuum tube amp.

Thanks Mark, she's my pride and joy, aside from my daughter and wife that is.

There was a 65 Sport Fury 383 4 speed, black with red interior I tried to buy at a auction several years ago. We got tired of waiting and left. There were 50 or more cars out there and they were auctioning off wrenches three at a time. I would have had to camp out to even try to get it...

It can run either 6v6 or 6l6, but normally I run 6L6 in them.
