A challenge to both tradition and the industry standard! Come on guys... you have to admit this is one of the nerdiest threads we've had in quite a while. . And I've read every post. LOL!!! I can cross being called a "Nerd" off my bucket list now! LOL!!  The String Swings are up in half of the room, and I am starting to hang guitars, pictures soon! | ||

I don't think this thread is nearly as nerdy as the one about the Balladeer rebuild. Dan knows glues, tapered soundboards and gives measurements in millimeters and thousandths of inches. That's a guitar nerd. Although I doubt I'd ever tackle that sort of project, I enjoy every one of his posts. I LOVE Dan's Journals on Guitar Repair and Remakes!!! I read them over and over, even if I never do a rebuild, I love seeing how it's done, and the pictures and text are WONDERFUL!!!! He would be a Great Teacher!!! Okay, I have half of the Cave done, with the Guitars up, I ran out of String Swings, so I need to get a bunch more, but for now, everything that I had a hanger for is up! I want to THANK YOU all for the help, I did what you suggested, and drilled the pilot holes, had trouble again putting the screws in, so I stomped upstairs, got a screw driver and put them in by hand! Worked perfectly!!! But Thanks to you all, everything is perfectly spaced at 22.5", and I was able to get the string swings attached very securely!!! Thank You so much for all of your help and suggestions!!!! Like MWoody said, "I Love you guys!"

Joined: December 2014 Posts: 1713 Location: Frozen Tundra of Minnesota | Thank You for the kind words! I couldn't have done it without your help!! I really like it down there now, and once my Brother removes his stuff out, I can set up the rest of it the way I want! But at least my Babies are out of their cases, and I can enjoy and play them whenever I want!! I just ordered a little tiny Cube amp too (Red, of course), so it looks like I am going to "Plug In" now too!!! LOL!!!! Guess you can teach an old dog new tricks! LOL!!! Thank You again Guys, your help and patience has been invaluable to me!! | ||

Joined: December 2014 Posts: 1713 Location: Frozen Tundra of Minnesota | I am hoping it is good Beal - One of the people I bought a guitar from told me that he uses it allot, and really likes it. Since it will be the first time I will ever have used an amp, I don't need a really fancy, or expensive one, but this one sounds like a good one to start with, and it comes with all the accessories I need to start out, so it seems like a good buy, and the video looked pretty good! I would appreciate your thoughts on it, good or bad. http://www.kraftmusic.com/roland-micro-cube-gx-battery-powered-guit... Thank You Jeff! Edited by Nancy 2015-08-02 9:23 AM | ||

Acoustic and electric amps are different animals Yes, a Roland. I had no idea that there were different ones for electric and acoustic. Maybe I will have to break down and get a vintage O Electric! . But before I do, I will ask you guys which one I should get!! | ||

Now you have a lot of in-between open space just waiting for signs, banners, vintage guitar memorabilia, and most important of all, neon! Thanks Professor! And Thank you for your help!! I am starting to get the Ovation ads now, then I can frame them and put them down there too! I will keep an eye out for one of those neon Ovation signs, they must pop up every once in a while! | ||
