Back and sides are solid east indian rosewood. The top is sitka, neck is mahogany. This guitar wasn't a custom order by me, but from a shop here to celebrate their 30th birthday. They ordered 7 of these and 7 OM body styles. Wasn't that expensive. Just a bit more than your standard d28/d35.

My Martin Custom Dreadnought: This guitar is getting better and better.

I'll second the recommendation for Seymour Duncan Classic Stacks. I've got them in my Warmoth Jazz Bass and I love the sound. Deep, full, warm sound, yet nice highs. Not so much midrange grind like many hotter pickups.

I was wondering about the power cords in our last audiophile bashing thread. Since then, I ordered a dozen and I can tell you, my fridge and my washing machine sound so much better. My TV looks better. It's the Valnött of power cables. :icon_jokercolor:

Happy Birthday, Ollie.  :binkybaby: Amazing how fast time goes by.

I was at the Oktoberfest yesterday. Great fun, but I'm a bit out of practice drinking beer due to my baby boy ... wasn't that much fun to work today.  :laughing7::occasion14:

I just browsed around this music direct page. I can't stop laughing... A power cord for 150 bucks? Hell, why not? Oh wait. I'll better buy this one, only 339$. But, you'll get a sophisticated sounding product and: I wonder what kind of music audiophile people listen to. To some extent I know...

Pictures of my Jazz Bass neck, out of the box. Like the others said, it becomes shiny/glossy after some use. But it still feels very comfortable.

oh and cool guitar! taylors are nice.  :icon_thumright:

There are a lot of little helpers, e.g. from planet waves. There's the Humidipak or more simply, you could just use a hygrometer. I have a higher end Martin acoustic, but I'm not too concerned about keeping the exact humidity. A good advise certainly is to keep your guitar in the case when you...

Behold, you've got the VALNØTT. Sorry, couldn't resist.  :)

Good to hear that you are enjoying yourself here in Bavaria. Even though the weather is currently nothing to write home about. But summer will be back, eventuallly  :). I think you might enjoy visiting the city of Memmingen, about 50km west of your place. The old city centre is really nice. My...

Thats really sad news. :-(

Typical German sides containing eggs are Spätzle (a specialty from Southern Germany, made by boiling small lumps of dough made from flour and eggs) or Semmelknödl (bread dumplings). I'd expect that on a lot of dishes. Kartoffelknödel however (potatoe dumplings) are without eggs! Freshly made...
