Re: Recently Acquired old Gibson
Thanks for the guidance, everyone. I got a mirror in there last night. I was afraid I'd see a bunch of glue ooze on the bottom of that bridge pin, but it looks okay.

Guitars and Toddlers
Hey folks, since most of you have a lot of instruments around the house and many of you have kids, I figured I'd ask to see how you dealt with your guitars while your kids were toddlers. I have 4 guitars sitting out on stands around the house, and my kid is about to start crawling. I'm worried both ...
