Very exciting!

She's a real beauty PJ, A brace of Stanleys is a beautiful thing!

Depends upon what you want to hear. Tone woods all have different properties, even within the same species. On top of that, construction methods come into play, as well as the type of wood with which...

I wish Lennons death were a myth! :crying:

So I got the "beta prototype" of the Nautilus design strung up in the almost-white today... just a light coat of sealer to keep the dirt out of the pores while I play with it for a while. It...

Weirdos.

That's not quite how it worked. When Andy bought that A, he was Grisman's student. Grisman was of the opinion at the time (he's come around) that pickguards interfered with the sound, and urged him...

Here is the real-deal oval lock on a genuine Loar case. Neither key is original. The one on the right works. It has a second tab that's unnecessary and doesn't actually go into the lock. The one on...

Journeybear, like I said in my original post, I DIDN'T look at the archives but typically think I'm pretty on with the announcements of new features, etc. on this site. I obviously missed this one! I...

I may be slow in noticing this but I just wanted to say thanks to Scott T. and crew for giving the option to "thank" people for their posts. It's a nice feature that I just noticed a couple of days...
