Thanks Jack I can work with that.

I want to build cases for a couple console steels I built. I need some sort of padded lining for the inside. Anyone have a suggestion for what to use?

Thanks fellas, Rick,Bill and Larry your concern means a lot. Robert I think you and I have a good bit in common. I just turned 83 and have been exposed to lots of machinery noise and music (no ear ...

I like bronze/brass bars too. I have a roy smeck bar that I rounded off. I bought it back around 1952. It's 3 1/4" long and 5/8" dia. I can't hold a round bar any more. If you would like t ...

if your chrome is peeling, try stripping all of it off and polish the brass. I personally prefer the tone of brass over stainless. Course thats just me.

James...Sorry to say this is the first of your posts I've had the pleasure to view. The music and video are beautiful. I made submarine patrols out of Holy Loch ( Dunoon/Grenoch ) back in the 60's. ...

That new nut might be your culprit.

Not saying it would be worth your time but it could be made into a playable instument. Why did you get it, just for laughs?

I'm an old Leon Redbone fan. Read he had died and pulled up some youtubes. Highly recommend "OLD FAMILIAR BLUES" . He's accompanied by a young Cindy Cashdollar in twin pony tails.

Try designing your own. You might have fun.

15 and still building.

Your guitar is probably just fine. A quarter makes a pretty good guage for string height (over the pickup).

Change your tuning to open E.

I just got one of the Goldtone mics and it's great for the type playing I do when I need a little extra boost. A plus is that you can switch it to different instruments and it's just a $200 investmen ...

Incidentally, they didn't make a deal.

Interesting looking guitar. If the price is right (under $100) it might be an interesting conversation piece if nothing else.

An old favorite of mine. Your version makes mine sound sick.

Tom,the pickups on your guitar are the real thing. I'm using one I got off an early Fender 400. That's what is on the top neck of that thing on e-bay. I'm not familiar with a Stringmaster 1000.

The pickups are early fender psg. They have a lovely tone with non pedal.
