I received my new StewMac cattledog a couple of days ago and there was a nice new fangled tool on the cover called SAFE SLOT TM Nut Guard that you can buy now.... ...well I thought that I would post a tip on how I get the height as low as possible buzz free using just a doubled slip of paper. Modern...

Hi O.P.....I participated in the recent Jescar group buy recently and bought 2 lb of the EVO wire....I have used it on 3 instruments so far and can say it is very good...it is harder to snip but not what you would call difficult so it should wear better than the NS from Stewmac that I was using up u...

It went for $457.00 and attracted 25 bids....I would say it was watched by quite a few people who wanted it...

Some friends told me about this one....they described it to me but it was not until you actually see it that its hits you just how amazing and weird in a sci-fi way it is!....Enjoy! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cd6C1vIyQ3w http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YeTa9DtD7fo http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6...

Yes Steve...I said "No Way" too...couldn't believe my eyes...they aren't riding mountain bikes either which amazed me....great little "failures" set at the end though...

John

Yes, a Beautiful instrument and the perseverance had paid off....it is a good feeling to get them finished especially when it feels like the end is a long way off at times...

It is interesting that everybody does things differently...I have always built with a radius in my tops and will continue to do so but one thing I noticed when I visited Brook guitars in the UK in 2011 was that they built with flat tops....they build them very dry they say and therefore there is alw...

Heads Up!......Here is a small benchtop morticer that is pretty cheap if one wants to get one for the 3/8 square hole needed to fit the brass bar for the neck joint in the Gore/Gilet book....Pick up in Brisbane.
