    Re: Buffing out a finish

    Re: Buffing out a finish

    The worst area of the cloudiness is around the neck joint on the back and maybe the sides. The pick marks look more like very minor little scratches/swirls. There is no checking or fracturing of...

    Buffing out a finish

    I recently acquired a 2001 Flatiron Performer A. While the finish is in good shape, there are a few pick marks and a couple of areas that appear to be a little cloudy. Is there anything that can be...

    You can copyright the whole of the song. You can't copyright the notes or the individual words.

    This has been, and still is an interesting thread. As I've mentioned before, we host house concerts. The artists have all been paid. I would have to say that the average take for the folks that...

    Re: What happens if no-one pays for music?

    You would be surprised at some of the negotiations that go on. Many times musicians ask for travel expense, accomodations, etc. I was talking with Will Hoge's people once. They wanted 5K for the...

    Re: Nashville made Flatiron Performer A

    Got the Flatiron yesterday. All I can say is wow...... What a difference. The tone is there. Plays very nice. It came with what I believe to be some old J74's. I just finished re-stringing it...

    Re: What happens if no-one pays for music?

    My main problem with this, or any other form of downloaded music, is the quality. I can't stand the sound of compressed digital formats. I have a hard time with some CD's. I still buy and play...

    From talking with the dealer, the previous owner traded this for a Collins MT2. The dealer said it was a gem to play. Of course, you wouldn't expect a salesman to say it suked......

    Yep, it can be a slippery slope. We are not allowed to advertise the location of our House Concerts. They have to be 'invitation only' with a 'suggested donation', otherwise the two agencies...

    So Mike, think I should jump on it? I was told that there was a tiny bit of fret wear in the first position on the A and E strings but had plenty of life left.
