    Re: Bone blank for saddle on an OM?

    There are a lot of dogs out there just doing their jobs making sure bones are clean.

    Re: Dealing with pokey string ends?

    I pull the free end of the string around the string in tension
    until it bends. I cut off the extra length. The end springs
    down to the tuning peg.

  4. Re: Blueridge 60, Harley Benton, Martin tenors?

    My guess is you would pay a premium for "water resistance".

    In the US I do not see used Blueridge guitars with cheap asking
    prices, and most of them are 40 models.

    I don't know anything about...

    Re: Alligator Dentistry - NMC

    That is an inspiration.

    Drywall screws are so handy. Use them everywhere.

    Is this the style called "steam punk"?

    lot of traffic. Here are a few threads from there.
