If you can't get a refund, before I threw it in the trash I would squirt some wood glue in there and clamp it with a C clamp. Cost is zero, worth a try. I wouldn't worry about the fingerboard...

So much of what I say should be prefaced with, "for those old enough to recall..."

What about Tiny Moore?

60 years ago everybody tuned their 12-string acoustic to C# (and capoed for standard),...

huh?

nope, nope, nope....

no genders or names, please!

(well, I guess Jeff Mando is OK...:cool:)

Seems like an update of the old Thomas-Ginex fret leveling kit that has been available for the last 50 years...

not the best

no back binding

acoustic model batwing...

I agree. I think it is arrogant to give ourselves so much credit for being SOOOO creative. Sure, I've got a couple songs that I'm proud of and think every once in a while I can come up with a...

Recently in the news, Tesla settles autopilot fatality case. Apparently for an undisclosed amount -- I gave up after reading 4 online reports and none mentioned a figure. I'm guessing that means a...

OTOH, seller has been an eBay member since 1998 with 100% positive feedback. I'm guessing he just wanted to be cautious about disclosing the serial number for all to see, like many sellers do. ...

Magazines aren't what they once were. I subscribe to a half-dozen home handyman type magazines and some are lucky to hit 60 pages an issue, and some only come out every two months, at that. About...

Agreed. Some of these Stradolin's ring like a bell, feature 90-year old wood, and most are well under $500!

Isn't Fender still an American company?

Interesting!

For all we know, today's most popular artists may actually be robots -- and have been for years! :))

That would sure cut out the middle man for the record companies...

For me, that would pique the question of how the caregiver knew the value of the Loar and the Bone? Unless, the sick person bragged -- "those two there are worth more than most people's houses!" or...

Again, why store valuables in a LOW/NO security storage unit?

Doesn't make sense...

A friend of mine had several $10K+ guitars and lived alone. When he went out of town for extended trips, he...

beautiful work, John!

OTOH, in the early 80's Gibson authorized Tim Shaw to create a PAF reproduction pickup. Shaw studied the originals and understood them, but was only able to use materials that Gibson had or was able...

I was trying to make the distinction that the Fern was not stolen, but lost (legally) by not paying the storage fee.

Yes, a stolen instrument is technically ALWAYS stolen, even though it changes...

On the brighter side, I'm sure it made the purchaser at the flea market VERY happy! :cool:

I may be reading too much into her story, but the slant I'm getting is that in a perfect world, she still...

Such a sad story, for sure. I wish the author had gone into more detail about her father, his name, who he played with, when/if he died, etc. Also, why would she be aware of a rare instrument...

a vote for Jesse McReynolds

...just a 4 1/2 hour drive?

Years ago I worked at a great vintage guitar shop, back when today's super rare stuff was only somewhat rare. I got to work on some amazing instruments. Usually, I did basically what the luthier in...
