If you can't get a refund, before I threw it in the trash I would squirt some wood glue in there and clamp it with a C clamp. Cost is zero, worth a try. I wouldn't worry about the fingerboard...

nope, nope, nope....

no genders or names, please!

(well, I guess Jeff Mando is OK...:cool:)

Seems like an update of the old Thomas-Ginex fret leveling kit that has been available for the last 50 years...

Agreed. Some of these Stradolin's ring like a bell, feature 90-year old wood, and most are well under $500!

For all we know, today's most popular artists may actually be robots -- and have been for years! :))

That would sure cut out the middle man for the record companies...

I was trying to make the distinction that the Fern was not stolen, but lost (legally) by not paying the storage fee.

Yes, a stolen instrument is technically ALWAYS stolen, even though it changes...

On the brighter side, I'm sure it made the purchaser at the flea market VERY happy! :cool:

I may be reading too much into her story, but the slant I'm getting is that in a perfect world, she still...

Years ago I worked at a great vintage guitar shop, back when today's super rare stuff was only somewhat rare. I got to work on some amazing instruments. Usually, I did basically what the luthier in...

Probably sounds great, especially for the price. I would replace the bridge with a low one-piece full-contact ebony or rosewood bridge.

I vote for using the term "upside down" tuners. It makes sense and is easier to understand than this "worm" business...

I see I'm again in a minority -- I check the forum daily, but almost never look at the classifieds.

Yep, ended at $585 plus $38 shipping plus tax. Someone will have over $600 in this before the first repair is attempted.

My logic is, "how much is a nice one?" Then, you subract the cost of the...

No, mine was all black. Don't be fooled by "today's asking prices," in my opinion they are worth $200-250 max and only as a wall-hanger, at that. BUT, more power to prices fueled by internet fads...

I always like Mas Amigos Mexican Kitchen on Nolensville Pike.

When I was young, people would ask what kind of music I played? I would say "contemporary music."

Now, they ask and I say "oldies." Of course, they are the same songs I've played since the 60's!...

Here's some of mine. Same model. Def a project. Repaired heel. Back was replaced by former owner, nice enough mahogany veneer, nailed on and (flat). Yep,...

Agree with jb, failed or unfulfilled love inspires more of my songwriting than happiness -- because when you're happy, you're too busy having fun to write a song. :cool:

I've introduced songs from...

I like the figure on the back.

I always tell people my "art" is performed in beer joints, NOT museums....

I could brag and say night clubs, but to be honest, mostly beer joints....

I spent a little time in NYC in the late 70's. I remember the jazz clubs had a $10 cover PLUS a 2 drink minimum per person -- a nearly impossible sum for an unemployed 22 year old...

It's called having a good time.

Pros: 1. Loosens ya up. 2. Makes people friendlier (at first.) 3. Less concern with details that don't matter to the music. 4. eliminates stage fright. 5. ...

I just noticed it says "Gibson" not "The Gibson." Not that it is either...:))

Works for me! :cool: Works for audiences, too! (within reason....)

Not sure how to do an invisible repair without having access to good-working vintage parts.

I did notice the guitar version of this body style uses a partially routed (not all the way...

I think a more reasonable goal is to play a group of instruments in your price range and then pick the one you think sounds and FEELS best. Then you can say you got the best one for you, rather than...
