Google "Stainless Steel Springs".

Thanks Charlie.

For a hundred bucks, I think I'll take a chance. It'll make a neat wall hanging if nothing else. I'll come back later with my impressions.

Thanks for taking the time to share.

In "The Hammered Dulcimer" by Howard Mitchell, he experimented and found for a fixed string length, plain strings of the same composition, all broke at approximately the same pitch regardless of gauge. As you increase the gauge you increase the mass lowering the pitch for a given tension n...

The recording, if it is to be believed, sound fairly decent.

(Just sent Charlie a PM)

Saw this on facebook and was tempted. Anyone familiar with it or have any thoughts?

A pretty good video on "Ebonizing" wood. Fairly long but the take away is archival grade India Ink (i.e. Speedball or Dick Blick brands).

Again thanks for the replies.

I'll do a closer inspection of the crack. I leaning toward documenting the extent of the separation and monitoring it.

Thanks for the responses.

Brian - Good to know. On a guild by chance?

John - This looks like an easy job except for the caveat you mention. I wonder if super glue or epoxy might work.

I have a Guild 12 string. I have noticed that the back of the bridge (tail side) has lifted slightly, just enough to slip a piece of paper under. My thought was to glue and clamp it before it gets worse. I don't know how long this condition has existed as it was only on close inspection that I notic...

Working with brass is not that hard. Get a scrap piece and drill and counter sink a few holes.

What did you do for the fret board?

Thanks for the replies. Charlie and Dave, I'll check out mobilesheets and guitarpro. Thanks. I came across another product, SongBook, which looks interesting. It's multi-platform also. Mark, I'm curious about all three categories, though my immediate need is for sort of digital fake book. I agree kn...

Not sure if this is the right venue but I figure it will have the best chance of been seen here. I'm looking for an android, windows or linux apps for performers. In particular one that can scroll words and chords during a performance. I've been told OnSong for the iPad would do this but I haven't v...

I'll give it a shot.


Thanks

Alan, how does that harp guitar fold?

Sorry, I forgot to reduce the size of the pic.

Here's a pic of the guitar with the laminate on it. I drew lines from straight edges aligned with neck and have redrilled the string feeds from the back. As you can see, it looks misaligned. I didn't try this before I laminated the maple on top. I wish I had. http://i242.photobucket.com/albums/ff274...

Thanks for the reply Freeman. This is on an electric kit guitar. The GTP12 is looks similar to the piece that came with the kit (I couldn't find any pix of the STP12). On both the even number sides (toward the bass side of the neck) have less mass and looks like they should be for the octave strings...

How about applying a good coat of paint dump in the powder. Empty when dry. Drive a screw through with the grounding wire.

Is a Gotoh 12 string tailpiece suitable for Richenbacker stringing and/or standard acoustic 12 stringing?

Thanks
