| I'll mail you a towel to put over the strings. Free, if you don't bugger up another D-10. |

Every time I see a post by you, Ken, it makes me miss that Black Mullen.  |

That is a fabulous guitar, which is currently much loved in Astoria, OR. Still kind of miss that one, but have a loaded, lacquer G2 to help deal with the loss.
But that's a great guitar. And, returning to the thread topic, nobody has thrown half of it away! |

No one has said anything about throwing the parts away. As a matter of fact we all keep saying "it can be put back".

See Igor's response above. It would be interesting, and quite impractical, to try to figure out how many C6 necks are stripped and ever actually get reassembled.
From what I've seen, that number is low. |

| I did it with excellent results and used the salvages parts to build another SD-10 which I played for some time. I did have to purchase a cabinet with end plates, legs, pedal bar, changer pull rods, knee levers and that was about it. I had the salvaged changer, tuning head, aluminum neck, pedal rods,cross shafts, bell cranks and floor pedals. I made the rear deck pads and purchased the parts I needed new and at a price much less than a new steel, plus it was fun to build and play, it came out great and I wish I still had it. The person I sold it to won't let it go. |

| I do it commonly to D12's as they are a very tough guitar to sell. |
