Simple B/E string acoustic bender.
Here is a simple demo showing 2 strings pulling. Managed to find the time to get the E string dropping a tone. So, we have the B string as normal, pulling up a tone and the top E string dropping a whole tone. No fancy picking just a quick demo showing the possibilities. If and when I get the G string also in use, if the guitar top manages it, should sound unique for the acoustic guitar. Thanks for watching.

Acoustic Pullstring B Bender prototype.
Просмотров 3512 года назад
Decided to adapt a MSP Pull String for an Acoustic Guitar. Only have the B puller working at the moment. Bought an old Vintage V400SB guitar for £40 and decided to modify it. Really happy with the first attempt. Have to get the E and G strings working at some point but the stress on a all solid top maybe difficult. Anyway, fun tinkering about.
Sigma Guitar LGMC SG100F Quick Demo

There has been no demo's of this great guitar, a Sigma LGMC-SG100F. I would love to have a Gibson CF100, but even if you can find one, you then have to be able to afford buy it. Good luck. This Sigma is a great guitar. Same strings on the guitar as when delivered. No picks, just fingers and index nail to simulate a flatpick. Solid Sitka top, laminated mahogany back and sides.

Last Thing on My Mind/On Top Of The World(The Carpenters) on the Gold Tone F-6 Mando Guitar
Просмотров 9 тыс.8 лет назад
Just a simple video showing how easy it is to play guitar tunes on the Gold Tone F-6. I usually play these tunes with a flat pick on the guitar, but decided to fingerpick. Really need one of those dawg mandolin picks. If you play guitar and want a different sound without learning a new instrument, the Mando Guitar is a great instrument. It has a great woody tone.
BOTH SIDES NOW GOLD TONE F-12

I broke a string on my 12 string Gold Tone F-12 mando guitar, so I decided to take 5 strings off and turn it into a 6 string (F-6) to see what I could get out of it tone wise. Back in the 70's my brother bought me the Nitty Gritty album, Will the Circle be Unbroken, and I loved Randy Scruggs's version of the classic Both Sides Now on there. Here is a simple version of that tune played on the Go...

I have inquired from the company but am still waiting for an answer on this: can someone please tell me if they will work with 12 string acoustic guitar strings, and if so, what gauge? I ask because the distribution of the instrument and its strings does not reach Spain, so that if you buy it, you can change the strings. Thank you so much.

    Excellent technique and you are an excellent player. Otherwise; This Sigma sounds every bit as good as a Vintage Gibson C100-FE based on youtube videos. I am looking for a Sigma SG100F but they are rare. The original vintage Gibsons are way out of my reach as you mention, but after Gibson's recent aggressive behavior towards customers and other companies with e.g. the "Play Authentic" youtube video, I wont buy new from them ever again. I play Gibson since the 1980s.

  • @nros5020

    • @maharg11
      @maharg11 3 года назад

      Many thanks for the comments, really appreciated. Open G tuning. String spacing was great when I had it as a 6 string. Pretty sure Wayne Rogers at Goldstone also adjusted the spacing after the initial run, which I had. The instrument is capable of producing tones that you cannot achieve on the guitar. I approached it not to be ike a mandolin sounding instrument, but a instrument in its own right if you know what I mean.

    • @draqza
      @draqza 4 года назад

      That seems likely based on the way a 12 string guitar is usually tuned (octave pairs on EAD, unison pairs on GBE), and that the F6 is an octave above a regular guitar so I would guess the F12 is just an octave above a 12 string.
