Love it, keep going, how did we survive not knowing?! :grin:
I accept grammar mistakes, spelling mistakes, BUT have to draw the line at being wrong. Please fact check before posting. :whistling:
Probably sounds great, especially for the price. I would replace the bridge with a low one-piece full-contact ebony or rosewood bridge.
OP mentions Eastman and Kentucky, so I would think "moderately-priced" is being focussed on the lower end of those brands. I could be wrong. Definitely, we are talking a factory made instrument. ...
That is the nature of forum life. New people are asking questions that are new to them, but have been answered elsewhere many times. But, the info is still good.
I see the same 10-20 questions...
Nice guitar and video. I probably would have opted to leave the "original vintage dust" inside, but a small criticism overall.
I seem to recall that George Gruhn's favorite personal guitar is a...

Many photos exist of Eddie Cochran with his bridge at a rakish angle...seems wrong, but Eddie Cochran should know....
Well, I understand your point, but it is mandolin specific. I'm thinking upside down as opposed to "normal" which is how 99.9999 percent of guitars are outfitted. Sure, it could be argued that...
I vote for using the term "upside down" tuners. It makes sense and is easier to understand than this "worm" business...
I see I'm again in a minority -- I check the forum daily, but almost never look at the classifieds.
I must be doing something wrong....no horror stories...
In addition to a tuning fork I've had for 40+ years, I have two electronic tuners over 30 years old, still in daily use. Arion Stage Tuner...
Not being a violin player of any merit, I wanted to ask if fine tuners on a violin tailpieces dull the sound? It seems like most players use them.
In my opinion, it is not up to you to "police" the behavior of a seller. When in doubt, you can make a donation.
Think of it as paying it forward or a tip for a job well done.
My mention of missing original parts was merely as reference to their replacement value, if you choose to hunt them down. The seller is a "parts robber" and all his listings are original vintage...
Yep, ended at $585 plus $38 shipping plus tax. Someone will have over $600 in this before the first repair is attempted.
My logic is, "how much is a nice one?" Then, you subract the cost of the...
No, mine was all black. Don't be fooled by "today's asking prices," in my opinion they are worth $200-250 max and only as a wall-hanger, at that. BUT, more power to prices fueled by internet fads...
20 years ago I had a Le Domino Big Boy guitar that I picked up for $60 at a music store. It was cool looking, but nothing special as a guitar. A NYC dealer offered me $800 and I sold it a week...
There is a guarantee for success in bidding, simply enter your maximum bid and forget it. eBay will bid for you by proxy, until your max is reached. All the while, others who bid are causing your...
I think these are collected for the coolness factor :cool:, more than the sound. Same with stenciled cowboy/novelty guitars and ukes.
Yes, it is the same one.

Many acoustic instruments are made with wood that is still technically, "wet." (and heavy)
Could aged tone be wood that is less wet?
(you know, like an instrument that has air dried for a...
Like Mike, I usually place my bid in the last 7 or so seconds, with the bid preloaded. Usually works, sometimes I still get outbid by proxy bidding, but only by someone willing to beat my max bid. ...
This one is being discussed in the eBay section
