My PCH2 OM came with 12-53 gauge D’addario strings. Can I put 12-54 gauge on it without having to mess about with set up. Stunning guitar for the price by the way. Thanks?

Hello All,
I have recently purchased both the Larrivee D40 (mahogany b&s) and the D-40R (rosewood b&s). They are both VERY impressive in all aspects. Both guitars have the "parabolic scalloped hybrid" bracing you have probably heard about, both are bound with flamed maple that looks very classy indeed, both show excellent workmanship, the best materials available, and IMHO both sound as good or better than those guitars made by any of the other makers. There are lots of reviews of the D-40R, all very positive. The D-40 sounds like a D-18's big brother. The best part is that I was seriously considering buying a brand new Martin HD-35 until I realized that I could get BOTH Larrivees for about $100 less! 

I really believe that, if you get the chance, you should try both guitars. But be careful! You may very well want to take one or both home!

Well, now here's one we haven't seen before - yowza!

Hello all, long time lurker, first time poster...

I've been thinking of replacing the pickup on my 503 archtop (recently bought used on Reverb, manufactured in 2014). As far as I've gathered, it's a Kent Armstrong HPAG-1.

Did anyone go through the process? 
Any advice or impression will be greatly appreciated.

Specifically:
1. Did anyone experience any difficulty with the rounded shape of the HPAG-1 tabs vs the rectangular tabs on most other pickups?
2. Did you swap the rest of the electronics or just the pickup?
3. How many wires should the new pickup have? 4 or just 1?

BTW, the leading replacement candidate is currently a Seth Lover, but I have no idea how it's going to pair with the guitar, so I'm open to suggestions...

Many thanks

Hi, calling in from Norway! After taking up playing again after some years, the GAS has started to be strong! These days it is not so easy to try before you by, but my local music store (in wich I have been a customer for over 45 years) has a beautiful E20SS. I was also able to try a E1OM earlier. Maybe the strings were dead, but this OM didn't speak to me at the moment. 
I mostly play fingerstyle with a thumpick. 
I have searched this forum and others as well, but it seems like the E20SS dont get to much love, compared to the OM's. Is it only the narrower 1 11/16 nut thats a problem? I learnt to play on a Swedish made j-45 clone, with a nut 43mm. I have this one still, and I can go from this to my Seagull with a nut at nearly 46mm. Somethings are easier on the narrow nut, and something easier on the wide one. 
I see that string spacing at the bridge are the same on both the OM's and the SS. I'm on the fence about ordering a E20OM that I'm not able to try, or by the SS at my local shop. Any thoughts? (And pardon any misspelling and bad grammar!)

When on earth are we going to find out about the new Eastman-Bourgeois models?! I hope they are saving the best till last.

G'day from Australia.
I have been searching for an electric of reasonable quality with wider nut, and happened upon the T484/486's. The reviews I have seen have mostly played jazz / blues style. Will I get a good classic country sound from the SD's ? Thanks in advance.
