99silver Posted January 2, 2013 Share #151 Posted January 2, 2013 I'm still pickin, Seagull Artist Cameo, Gretch American 3/4, a junk classical, a 1930's La Pacific banjo uke that was my Grandfathers and a new Fender Telecaster with vintage noiseless pickups (mexican). I play most every day and have been told that I'm really improveing, but to me it still seems I have a LONG way to go. I enjoy it so I keep playing...

RandyR Posted January 2, 2013 Share #152 Posted January 2, 2013 I'm not playing much lately. Have a once-a-month jam I go to on a Saturday afternoon. Not practicing much at home either. Might play 1-2 tunes every couple days. Playing a 12-fret neck Larrivee. http://randyrick.us/guitars/LarriveeLS03ForumIIIandMC.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bvinson Posted January 2, 2013 Share #153 Posted January 2, 2013 I am just starting out and the tips of my fingers feel like hamburger. Would it be less painful if I just went out to my bench grinder and take them down to the bone? I have been using most of the free sites and after I get a few more of the basics down I may even pop for a few lessons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RandyR Posted January 9, 2013 Share #156 Posted January 9, 2013 Randy, that looks like a good width neck for some finger pickin !!!!! Its a 1-3/4inch neck, which is pretty much standard these days. A 1/16" wider than my old Martin with a 1-11/16 neck. It looks wider than it is because the neck is slightly shorter. Its a 12-fret neck rather than the more normal 14 fret neck. There are different ways of doing 12 fret necks. Larrivee just moves the bridge back on the face of the guitar. This also changes the tone a bit, in a way I find pleasing. Martin would call this a 000. Larrivee also makes a 000 with similar sized body, just slightly deeper and a 1-13/16" neck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Globewalker Posted January 9, 2013 Share #157 Posted January 9, 2013 Larrivee makes a dang nice guitar too.. I have a D-03 Larrivee but don't play much anymore.. Would like a smaller bodied guitar like that to sit around with.. might play more.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
