  1. Lyon & Healy with custom replacement 27-fret board

    Re: I would like to buy a EMBERGHER

    That was why I warned you. I believe my No. 3 is about that nut width (I can measure it later). Mine is early so it does not have the zero fret.

    BTW the other feature of Emberghers is that they...

    Re: Old Bowl Backs and sound
