Am I right is assuming that these are all made on one of these new fangled 3D printer I keep hearing about? So everything is 'made to order' and there is no need for stock apart from the basic materials for manufacture.

I have to say I find this new technology fascinating.

Exactly what you should do Bill.

Aaaawwwww thanks. I only ever admit to being 28 but I have been that for 41 years .

I spent the morning with my daughter and her family in Lancashire and the evening with my granddaughter and her boyfriend in Nottingham. I have had a super day.

I really enjoyed listening to this song and he should definitely be encouraged to do more. I could not 'like' or pass comment on Soundcloud as I am not a member there.

Good find, I hope she plays well. Happy NGD....

To me the most important thing is the 'playability' of any guitar. The neck should have a shallow profile so that my small hands can get round it comfortably (I hate a Gibson's chunky neck) and the action should be low. I do not like a large dreadnought size and the mini-jumbo is my ideal size, preferably with a cut-away to get to those top frets. The neck needs to have fret marker dots in the centre and on the edge and, as for timber materials, I am not too concerned as long as it has a rich sound, if I had to make a choice, I would say that a solid spruce top and mahogany sides and back would be fine.

Sadly I will not be there this year. I had a fantastic time with Jim, Amy, Alex, Steph and special little Katie last year and was hoping to meet Joe, Ken (Dirty Ed) and Amy's family again. I am bitterly disappointed but, unless I win the lottery, it is out of the question I'm afraid.

Have a great time with plenty of videos and Skype if possible.

I would call a 'cap' or a 'flat cap'.

Roger

A very famous English cartoon character always wore one.

Nela I have a 70's 12er here and an 80's built one in the UK both are standard tuned and the necks are absolutely true and the action very low. Barre chord up the fretboard are no problem on either of them and neither is an expensive, well known made. In my opinion any 12er that has to be tuned down is poorly designed and made.

Yo try and clarify the confusion here. The normal 12er string configuration is that, on a down stroke,  you play the thinner octave string before the normally tuned one. Rickenbacker reversed that and you play the normal low E before the octave higher one.
