MAMBO AMP UPDATE
I have now used my MAMBO amp at many different venues and, as stated in previous newsletters, I can honestly say that it is the best amp I have ever played through. I get the sound I want at every venue! I have the tone controls set on flat response and that's it, and for the first time ever for me I don't have to fiddle with the tone controls to find a sound that suits the acoustics of the room. I feel it is the right kind of amp for archtop guitar. Hear it at the next JGC gathering.
USEFUL LINKS: B M G (Banjo Mandolin & Guitar) Magazine has been revived! Click on the link.
http://www.banjomandolinguitar.org/news.htm This was the only guitar magazine around when I started playing in the 60's. Unfortunately it folded with the death of the editor and has now been revived. It was followed by "Guitar Player" which was great for jazz in its early years. Then there was a British magazine "Guitar" which was dedicated to jazz guitar. Didn't last long! This was followed by "Archtop" which was the forerunner of "Just Jazz Guitar Magazine".
IF YOU HAVE PROBLEMS WITH FEEDBACK WHEN PLAYING YOUR ARCHTOP GUITAR: See this link from Ged Green about string dampers:

A message from Dan Martin: Gibson ES350T 1992: Comes with original hard case. Good condition with minimum checking to the finish. All original pickups and hardware although the tailpiece has been reinforced (still original). This is the 'long scale' version as opposed to the 'Byrdland' scale of previous years and was a limited edition run by Gibson in 1992. I can provide multiple pictures on request. Its used value is approximately 2500 but I will take no less than 2250. Email: danmartinguitar@gmail.com Gibson 335, 2006, as new with case .
