Ditto to everyone that's already been mentioned and sadly probably missing a few of the mega-talent builders out there these days. One name that pops into my head is Troy Harris...

"Craig, what ever happened to Cliff's copy carver?"

It was copped by Clyde from Cleveland along with the copper clappers.

Sorry couldn't resist, carry on.... :)

Get a kitty instead :)

We used to be a vendor of First Quality's. A few years ago they stopped paying us for the product they were purchasing from us, been trying to collect for years. I can 't speak for their other...

Somebody bring out the dead horse please, he needs a good whoopin. :) :popcorn:

"FAR more country than what I hear today"

What exactly is "country"? I've been wondering..

There does seem to...

When you say "larger" I'm assuming that you mean "taller". I've found that, at least for me, the width of the fret is fairly insignificant. When it comes to the pressure required to fret a clean...

wow...was the train OK?

The contribution seems small in relation to the heart and soul you put into your instruments but thank you just the same. Your instruments are nothing short of incredible, I can only imagine how...

Did you just find it? It's a beauty.

Best to you Joe. It's amazes me what doctors are doing these days and the incredible procedures that are being developed and made available to them. I'm sure you're in good hands and I'd love to hear...

Patrick,
What Dale said and, from what I've gathered, worm over would be superior (from a function standpoint) where gear mesh is concerned however there may be another functional issue with the...

The intention is really to find out "which tuners" not so much what you like/dislike about specific brands/models. That being said, please don't leave out the comments and opinions if you're so...

I've got a question for you builders:

If you were building a mandolin for a customer who did not specify what tuning machines to use, what machines would you use? Please specify A or F mandolin,...

It's probably a moot discussion anyway. In the interview on youtube where Larry asks Johnny if he thinks the drug use contributed to his health problems Johnny states that he, "would not blame it on...

The Amy's, Morrison's, Bon Scott's of the world, we certainly don't do them any favours by giving them all the recognition, fame, notoriety, etc. for their bad behavior. If it didn't help to...
