This papa is fantastic. Deep beautiful sound that amplifies like a dream. I can’t believe how low and easy to play this action is. Its like butter, I know it sounds crazy but it feels easier to play than my 6 strings!! Got it from the second owner who had it recently setup at a local shop that will now be my goto. They did such an amazing job on the setup that I want to now take my 1718 & 1768 to be setup next string change.

Joined: May 2015 Posts: 186 Location: Glendora, CA | Yea I know I am inflicted with GAS for life. That's why I opened a Reverb store - - HA! If it wasn't for buying, selling, and trading up, I never would have been able to get my beloved 1718 & 1768. Those two, like my paired Pono tenors, I will never, ever part with. But Pacific Rims will certainly pass through my hands to their new homes. Someday when I am not just a mediocre guitar player perhaps I will be able to trade up to a Adamas! A boy can dream. | ||

Joined: December 2014 Posts: 1713 Location: Frozen Tundra of Minnesota | Tennessee - 2015-10-24 10:12 AM Nancy I am curious about how you keep the Nancave humid during the heater months. Does the amount of humidity from rain and snow counter it or do you use a humidifier. Here in sunny SoCal I pretty much have to keep a humidifier going year round. Thank the hairy beard of Zeus that we have a swamp cooler so I only have to fill the humidifier 2-3 times a week - boy I would like to have it automatic.... I know I should keep everyone in their cases but dang it I love to look at them and pull um down and noodle whenever possible!! I am still running the DE-humidifier right now... I empty it every other day now that it is Fall, every day during the Summer and Spring. We are humid up here even during the winter, we have that "Cold to the Bones" humidity in the Winter. But I do have a central humidifier on my furnace that will keep everything in balance as it gets drier later in the winter. If I find that I need more humidity down there later, I can always get a separate humidifier to maintain the balance. I LOVE having them all out, and I am getting allot more exercise too! I go down and up several times a day just to look at them all, and it is supposed to be better for them to get the sound waves on their face to help them open up. I have one of those Swiffer Dusters to lightly dust them once a week, they are perfectly safe for them, no scratching or chemicals on them. But there isn't much dust downstairs, all the dogs and birds are upstairs! LOL!! And each guitar is wiped down with a microfiber cloth after being played. | ||
