Here's a message of hope and good cheer-- I couldn't find what I wanted for MOAO - looked all over town. With time running short I tried online and found two suitable gifts. A bit over a week til Christmas, so I took a chance and ordered despite the warning that they may take a few days or a...

xmasxmasxmasThe last piece of the puzzle arrived, so the package is on its way to my victim! xmas xmas xmas

Just got word that the last thing I was waiting on for my mmm.. victim, is ready. I'll pick it up and send the box off tomorrow! xmas xmas xmas

Package received! Sounds suitably clunky, no broken-glass type rattles. No tree this year, so pic is on my disaster-area workbench.

Yeah, OK Sounds good to me I can live with this Sure, why not I'll be part of the party Helping the bearded dude in red I'll play Spin the wheel for me I'M IN!!

Moldyjim - sounds great but all-too-easy a decision for me; let's see, 2,000 miles (each way, that is)... thats all the deciding I need:sick:

So you're the one ... you know-- "Praise the Lord and pass the ammunition."

Thanks, User; that's a very nice example, but I have several nice Actions and that's enough -- not trying to get a complete set of all 16 brands; that would be too much like an obsession!

I think yours is a bit older than mine - bought at an estate sale in a tool box with enough other tool-type artifacts that it's clear the PO worked for the railroad doing light electrical and mechanical work. This is the only tool that was marked. Union Pacific Rail Road - K for Kansas? The...

umm... you may also find some of the casting sand fell out in production, and it's full of iron. If so, a little Dremel work would turn it into a proper 3 ;);)

Great story, Buckit! I too still have my first good guitar- a Brazilian made Gianini classical. And I made the steel-string mistake - sort of. There was a set of strings called Silk 'N Steel made specially for classical guitars. As I recall there were three plain steel and three wound...

I'm leaning toward 103 too. Take a gentle probe (toothpick? brass awl?) and probe in that second "0". You may find it's a buildup of hardened grease obscuring the 3.

I ended up with more Craftsman 8-points than I could forsee a need for, so I (very slightly) downsized by selling them on ePay - I was surprised at what they brought - about $4 each.

Well, the Fix is In! Let's back up a few years, when I first started wondering about fixing and preventing belly swell. I thought about reinforcing the bottom of the bridge somehow, and in fact did screw an aluminum plate to one. That brought the part that was pulling up back down, but did...

Washburn makes some damn nice guitars - nice find! If you really are a beginner, I'll give you my Lesson 1: start off learning to play the G chord with your little finger on the high E string. Beginners find it awkward at first, but trust me on this.

I've had a cheapo acoustic 12-string for a decade or more. How cheapo you ask? It's a Yamaki. I bought it to get the case it was in, but that's another story. The one saving grace of this ax is that it has a zero fret. That makes it easy to convert to a six-string, which I did. It already...

I know we've got some guitar players in the membership, so I thought there might be some interest in my current guitar project:

ePay comes through again!! Four years it took me to lay hands on my first Westcraft branded VeeGee - and here just a few days later is another! A listing on eBay had a fairly large collection of Thorsen VG's, with a few other brands included. He was nice enought to cull out these three and...

Just because... I've only seen two of these long pattern 3/4" Troy Bilt branded combos in my whole life, I just had to have them both. The latest isn't in as good condition as the first, but it's still pretty nice. A regular 3/4" is included just to show how much longer the Long is- 13" vs 9.5".

Not really...
