I have a pinky finger that no longer works. It stays straight all the time. Injured when I was LEO when I was fighting someone to put cuffs on them (fingers inside the cuffs when they are on...
Craziest thing is....I have prime tones....but my mandos sound the best with these. I always wondered why is so think and stiff better....these don't flex and produce great tone.

I need something a bit longer for my F style....my...

Dang....

Last Sunday was a bad day at work for me. Went to work with all 10 fingers functioning...came home with 9 functioning. Interesting thing is I can play, just having to find a few different ways...
I don't know about yours but my 305 craves moisture. Being winter I try to run the wife's aroma/bubbly/funky light thing that she uses for essential oils to keep the house somewhat humidified as it...

Chrome books are ok, they are fast start up and have long battery life. If you've never had one they ARE different than a computer. Learned that when I bought my son one. Memory is small, have to...
I use a kindle 10" but use pdf's, tabledit (spelling) and tunefox on it.
My head hurts....
Good catch, didn't notice the date.
There looks to be some corrosion on the tuning pegs and what appears as small water stains on the sticker inside....look it over good.
Ummmm.....
