Welcome JuJu. There's not too many of us here from Northern California. I'm down in the Bay Area now, but was married in Placerville and three of my kids were born at Marshall hospital. Lived in Pollock Pines for a few years when it was still Sierra Ski Ranch and it was still cheap to do half days. Is Poor Red's still open in Diamond Springs?
You've got one of the best-of-the-best according to everyone here. I've played Moody's FD and it is a very special guitar. |

As far as strings, I've tried many. Playing bass, I used half-round-wound. I wish they made those for guitar because I think that would be just what the doctor ordered for rounding out the enthusiasmic (that's a word now, I just invented it) bright/mellownessness in the FD-14's resonation.
I played both with finger-picks and bare finger; half-round were fantastic on my un-and-amplified acoustic bass as well as my Elect.'s. ZERO fret buzz. Stays in tune forever. One stretch, you are done.
I never hit a string TOO hard. Impossible. But the needed brightness was there. SOMEONE< MAKE A HALF_ROUND_WOUND GUITAR STRING>. It's worth a market research. |
