    Re: would you do this?

    Only a luthier on the instrument. A famous name would devalue the instrument for my money if I was purchasing it. I am not happy even with the decals I put on my old guitar case years ago. I do...
  8. Re: Am I missing the "point" about the Dawg-type picks?

    Re: My Accident.

    I can sure feel what you are going through right now. I had a left shoulder implant and it sure wasn't a walk in the park. It does pass so keep the faith. I'm back to playing classical guitar and...
  14. Re: Need Help Looking for what Mando I should get next!
