Re: Pick Guard?

<t>Hey Dennis, I see where you can order one from the Breedlove site, it's self adhesive. As for the sound, I'd do a test by holding the would/be pick guard in place, strum, and listen. If you can't tell... then probably not much difference. I wonder if the bridge truss helps make up for less down f...

Re: crowded fingerboard

<t>update, well I tried a wider nut with more spread. When ordering, I was unaware of the need to match radius. The neck is probably a 16" radius, and the nut I bought is for a 10" radius. So, of course it had problems with string height. So I put the old nut back on, rather than bury the D and G st...

Re: F # minor in key of G

<t>Thank you all for your in put. I will continue to learn about this before buying my next guitar. I am now trying many different guitars and appreciate the help. I know I'm not the smartest person, so I must go slow so as to avoid buyers remorse.<br/> Careful scrutiny,( glasses and magnifying glas...

crowded fingerboard

<t>Hello out there, I have big fingers, and often smother some notes. My guitar is a Yamaha 350 with a 1 3/4 nut width. It is old, and still sounds good, but not worth dumping $ into.
