Happy Monday Irene and listeners. I saw a Second City production in my town the other night and the very talented (on-stage) Music Director was one Tara Trudel. Maybe another musically adept member of your family?

Hi everybody! Sorry I haven't checked in yet. Nice discussion about guitars going on. Didn't have much time to plan today's show, due to The Golden Festival broadcast for TSP this past Saturday. (Hope some of you were able to stick with the show-- a better archive will be up soon.) Yesterday was spent catching up on rest and going to a Paul Motion guitar tribute last night.

anyway, l.d., it's much easier to convert a right hand acoustic. all you have to do is replace the nuts.

Irene Trudel:

@drewo, no there's nobody named Tara Trudel in my branch of the family. Possibly she's on of the many Trudels from Canada, who are unrelated.
  1:15pm
LovecraftDude888:

Glenn...went through that option years ago...was told it was easier to just buy a LH guitar, then convert righty 12-string, it's too difficult or can be...due to tension on neck and other things. Better to just buy a LH!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:18pm
Mike East:

I say its better to train yourself righty...though maybe you're past that point. :)
  1:20pm
LovecraftDude888:

nah that's not happening...been a lefty guitarist since early 80s or whatever a total lefty....learned that way, etc. Only way I feel comfortable. The strength for strumming all left hand, and I have the dexterity for fretting and accuracy with right...I can barely play righty...maybe a bit of rhythm

oh yeah., I would imagine so. I'm totally comfy playing lefty so I stuck with that during lessons years ago for sure. These days at least, you can get LH guitars in diff. price ranges so that's not a problem...the only thing annoying with 12string is changing out the whole set o' strings sometimes! arghhh Only thing I don't miss about it.

What makes me puzzeled:
Converting accoustic guitars ... "just the nut"???
What about the oblique position of the bridge?
  1:36pm
LovecraftDude888:

yeah usually gotta change out all of that...but I think most electrics it's easier sometimes than acoustics. depends. I wouldn't mess with it on a 12-string unless you have to.

Hello, Irene! Very late to the (new!) keyboard today, but have been listening since the get-go. Sooooo, nice, calming and healing sounds.

hmmmm. most bridge nuts on acoustic giuitars are perpendicular to the neck, although there are some that are oblique.
  1:42pm
LovecraftDude888:

I was told at Sam Ash in Queens a while ago that they can convert but usually an extra $150-200 depending on the guitar, and if it's convertible or not. I ended up just getting a Takamine 6 string ac elec. LH instead. I was like, I'll just get a 12 string again later.

I used to buy damaged budget Godins and repared them.
And I'm happy with them. (I have two 12-string with altered tuning/stringing.)
.... alright not so many damaged leftie-guitars, still.

Before spendin thousands on trademark factory guitars I'd consider consutance of gutar builder for a custom instrument.
  1:49pm
LovecraftDude888:

yeah i just might at that. I recall calling up Ovation about 3 yrs. ago, in CT, and they never called me back, just about ordering a stock Balladeer 12 LH out of factory. No shot. They weren't interested! ah well.
Avatar 1:52pm
kat330:

Fender did *very* right by me, and I was actually quite shocked they did. My 45-year-old Guild Mark II, with its lifetime warranty, finally had its bridge pop off. I contacted Guild's new owner -- Fender -- and emailed w/ a rep there. Turned out a guitar place across the river did the reattachment, and it was done all for free. Really nice.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:52pm
Irene Trudel:

@doca, I'm playing a bunch of those folks in this current set. the guitar players were Julian Lage, Gilad Hekselman, Nels Cline, Mary Halvorsen, Steve Cardenas, Vic Juris, Ben Monder, Brandon Ross, and Joel Harrison (who arranged the night). Lotta great moments.
  1:53pm
LovecraftDude888:

That's amazing, no charge even? Hard to believe.
  1:54pm
LovecraftDude888:

I notice you can even get a new cheap Fender Tele LH now for under $300 or less, which is great. A nice LH to beat the heck out of.

@Irene; wow, that must have been an awesome tribute

Kat: yeah that's always been an issue for me, but not massively, just for stretching 5 frets! haha. Good luck. But it means I can play other chords more easily..but barre I still have a bitch with sometimes.

LovecraftDude888:

not on the electrics, I can play barre pretty easily on those

kat330:

My Epiphone came w/ a (not built in) tuner, but I never use it. As long as there are only 6 strings, it's no big deal.
  2:08pm
LovecraftDude888:

oh yeah, true. Well I can't do it by ear so use tuners a lot, esp. for alt. and down tuning...have some Korgs also around.
