I have been using celluloid binding for years, but lately because of the cost and I really believe a decrease in quality, I'm looking for an alternative. I have tried using ABS and laminating my...
How do I find the date of this EM200 with Ser# 74042?
Thanks.
I have had great success with Tru-Oil, but it does take a long tome to cure. Has anyone tried the faster drying Crimson Guitar Oil? I would like to know how it compares to Tru-Oil.
Thanks!
Is there anyway to get an even looking stained spruce top or am I just at the mercy of the way the grain runs. Some tops I have no problem, but others it looks like the grain is running all over the...
I was setting up this '57 Gibson to make ready for sale and the old Kluson tuner buttons started crumbling in my fingers. What should I do? If I replace the buttons will this degrade the value of...
Finishing up on a Lefty F-5 and it just crossed my mind, where am I going to get a case for this customer? Has anyone just bought a right hand case and reversed the inside padding, of can that even...
Thanks for all the input guys. I believe I resolved the issue. Years ago I remembered an old watchmaker telling me to mix 3 in 1 oil thinned with lighter fluid and apply just a drop on each gear. ...
They make them in worm over and worm under.
The only tuning keys I have found to be better than Grovers (unless you got the money for Waverlys) are Rubner. Unfortunately, they are still not available for F-5.
The Schaller Grand Tune for mandolin need a .348 reamer for their bushings. The Waverlys are slightly smaller requiring a .328, so going from Waverly to Schaller should not be a problem. Not exactly...
Ah, case closed. I just got a response back from StewMac. This is the way Grover distinguished between worm over and worm under. 309fn's are worm over. 309fvn's are worm under. Seems of late...
Well, StewMac shows the FNs in both worm over or worm under. The FVNs I have are worm under. Perhaps that is the difference. The FVNs only come in worm under, while the 309FNs come in both...
Yes, I know the V is for vintage, but physically they look the same and the specs are the same. Could it be that Grover has just dropped the V and they are the same as the 309FN's?
Can anyone tell me the difference between the 309fn and 309fvn tuners?
I have an old 80's KM-800 which I have recently fallen in love with again and would put it up against a lot of higher valued mandos.
Once I started using the Sam Bush Monals for the D and G with an...
Thanks so much for the info. Vern got back to me right away and is helping me out.
I have been experimenting with different styles and woods of bridges for my old Kentucky m-800. However, have found the old style Brekkee I had stored away (because it never sounded good on anything...
