James, I know I am not on here anymore, so you don't know me or my history.
I don't mean to be too forward in my suggestion here either, but in my opinion, that 1 3/4 neck is going to be too wide...

I am not quite sure were to start on this. You should have seen the sad sad excuse that she brought me to fix. One of those totally inlaid pieces of crap from overseas. I could see allll kinds of...
Dan, just a small warning. I also watched that vid. What Robert does NOT say ( and it totally screwed up my project) was that the pore filler has to be applied and sanded off probably at least 3...
My understanding of your question is that both Sebastian and Ivan are correct. There are better dyes out there that are colourfast, and remain that way.....
Jake , when the time comes that I don't absolutely love all your stuff, I'll be dead. Thanks for posting this Bucko...
What Mr. Hilburn is doing makes it work absolutely perfectly. The motor is way far away, and all that is exposed is the belt that drives it. You just need a motor mounted on something and some...
Mandopluck, can you link us to his/her site? Thanks!
And I use white glue for all frets going into a fretboard, new or otherwise. Many use Crazy Glue, and have their own reasons for doing that.
Kerry to Kerry: I would think that your best bet would be to find a quality Luthier, and get her/him to make a nut. Going price should be , maybe $35 bucks. I would be more than surprised to hear...
Thanks for the corrections Jim. I do make a lot of assumptions in my post above. I am also glad that Brian Dean popped in and had a say. I must say, I have only played a few quality bowlbacks and...
Gregooch, There are thousands of these 100 year old instruments around that are now nothing more that wall hangers. Their reputation for not being able to stand up to actually being used for...
Psalmist, what a terrific job you did here! Can you tell me what happened to the black centre strip in the back? Was it just a decal or? I have to say, it was the first time I had seen one on a 50s...
Here is my setup from year before last. I now use two mics....

Jesse, my latest setup is from last summer. I have a Q3HD set up on a tripod, with two Rode NA1 mics going into a tiny 4 channel mixer, one mic for guitar, and one for voice.
The Q3HD has several...
Mandomeister, just to be clear, what exactly is the problem? Is all you are doing cleaning them and wanting to get the actual button off, (I don't know why you would be doing that...), or is one of...
CeeCee, doing this yourself is a simple as pie,. If the inside diameter of the bushings allow your machines to fit, there is no reason to remove them. Exactly the opposite actually, as removing them...
Mike. Trust me on this: I am not now, nor have I ever been 'new'....
Absolutely stunning photographs. I am floored how beautiful they all are. Thanks to the OP for starting this thread...
Mike, the Webber thing there is actually a pretty old idea. Stromberg/Voisinet was doing this exact same thing (almost exact same construction too) back on many of their 1920s acoustics. It is a...
Les, I owned that amazing Howe/Orme brazilian mando/guitar that Grampa Banana ended up with all those years ago.(it was mentioned in a few threads). At 13 inches and shorter, it is considered to be a...
Bryce, I have never thought of using the transparency of the plexi for that. It was just that I did not want to fork out the Big Bucks for 1/2 inch thick aluminum... Thanks too!
Well done on Rights Of A Man. It constantly amazes me how many versions of a single song can be out there. I have been playing this since I heard the Gordon Lightfoot version all those years ago. It...

Replied... I am blown away.Thanks so much Bernie. I had truly given up hoping someone would say something.
Thanks June. My Delta 14 inch with riser block is sitting in the next room minus the tires right now, and waiting for Ebay bought delivery. When they come in, I will certainly be scoping this vid...
V strings, I am thrilled with your decision.
