Mark - I bet you have spent a small fortune on tools of the trade.
True, but it still could be kind of distracting if you had a whole audience full of mimes doing their mime routines during the show.
When this done structurally it will be as good as new and possibly even better.
https://youtu.be/jiFbY3v-9PY Here's my shot at the whole thing. This has really grown on me while I've worked on it. That last section clicked for me when I realized how often I'd heard Joe Pass...
SS frets do not cause premature string wear, in my experience - in fact, strings last much longer against the smoothness of the ss fret surfaces. I base my assertion on the 5100 gigs I've done so far...

i wonder what speakers are in the 3 models (50, 100, artist) ? I actually like the speaker in the 50 a lot. Better than the Mesa Black Shadow I've been using which is super bright... When you hear...
My experience with a Calton case was super positive. I flew from Europe to Japan and return, checking in an ES 175 type luthiery-archtop inside a Calton case and the guitar was in perfect condition...
Remove the back? FWIW, I once tried to use a clear vinyl hose (I have a bunch that came with a maple tree tapping kit) to run some water soluble woodglue to a comparably inaccessible location....
They certainly haven't listed much of what they got from Mike. I called and got my old Sweet 16 back by asking about it and yesterday bought something not listed. The price is considerably lower if...
He did sell them to Butler. There is a second store in Missouri. Both are run by two brothers. They are disappointed that some instruments have damage, and I have the impression from talking to...
