Intellitouch PT-2 works on nearly everything, electric, bass, acoustic... only a real thick classical headstock could wrongfoot it.

That's strange you should say that about the Intellitouch and Classical guitars. A friend of mine, an excellent Classical player, uses an Intellitouch all the time. He owns a Ramirez.

When we duet (I play Jazz) I never found him out of tune. Me, yes despite my Intellitouch, but not Auld Tom!

I don't know about newer ones, but my dad's 30 year old epi acoustic has an awesome sound even after all these years.

Aren't guitars supposed to sound better with age?

Like guitar players I guess. Not always true though!

In order of acquisition, my guitars are:

A 1958 Hofner President archtop (Battered)
Aria ProArte Herb Ellis model
Gibson ES 175 1984
Yahama flat top (A100 I think)
A Gibson L5 Custom 1980's model

In the eighties, I had an Ibenez 175 copy that I traded for the Aria and I won a £25.00 'Boston' special in a raffle!

I am considering selling the Aria so I can buy a Peerless Monarch.
I am almost 69 now, so you know that this bug, once it bites, is with you forever.

Happy Fretting folks

Porn...there is no getting away from it.  This is a cool site, and well....where did you say the free porn was?  *greasy smile*  Ignore it, don't click on it, and move on.

So, whilst I have no problem with this stuff myself; I am aware some unfortunates need it. I spent a lot of my working life dealing with it too. So, I'll say this...

If it gets through to the website delete it if you can. If you MUST satisfy curiosity, don't click on the spam;  make a note of the url, and open a fresh page in your browser!

The pedlars like to seed fertile ground, because they are in it for the cash! So if you don't click the links they send, they will assume they have found stony ground. Eventually, this kind of spam, goes away.

You can always use ''Print Screen'. This puts what is on the screen into the memory, from where it can be pasted into Microsoft Word, and saved as a doc. Sometimes you need to use 'Ctrl' when you press Print Screen.
You can make a 'selection' and simply print the selection, or you can copy the selection to the memory and paste into Microsoft Word again.

Moral is, whenever you compile something to post, like a chord progression, keep a copy of the original as you finish it!
