Thanks for the advice and you are right about buying over the internet, not a good idea. A friend of mine did and the seller had cut down the bridge saddle to almost level with the bridge to lower the action.

Go the Warriors

Hi Naolslager. Thanks for all that information. The last guitar I had was a Suzuki made by the Kiso ( I think ) Violin Company in Japan then a Yamaha CJ 818 which had a broken neck by the head stock. I was going to repair it but decided not to try so on sold it for parts. I didn't break it, it was done by the previous owner. Yes I should have used "Guitars and Accessories". Is there any way of transferring this with the click of a button? Adding a photograph is outside my range of skills.

I am not old, only look old. I am 73 and play with a group in their 70's and 80's.We have a saxophone, clarinet, trumpet, guitar, bass and piano. We had a saxophone player who has since passed on [ not to another band ]. He was 96 and had been playing since he was 14  There was a documentary on TV recently interviewing a 92 year old who still teaches bass at a high school. I am listed as a junior member, can anybody tell me how to change that to senior.

Hi
I have recently replaced the fret wires on an acoustic guitar using a book called Guitar Repair by Irvine Sloane described as a Manual of repair for guitars and fretted instruments I am a retired cabinetmaker and found the job difficult so you would need to have a few clues on woodworking or know someone that has.The book covers topics on warped neck,action and buzzing,refretting,cracks,fractures,loose braces,etc. In his acknowledgments he thanks the C F Martin Organisation and the craftsmen for their help Replacing a whole side seems to be a major job I would get more advice on repairing the crack

Thanks Jim I will give that amp a go. Being able to store a sound is handy for a quick set up. Someone told me that an electric acoustic can be put through these amps as well

Yes my Samick sounds good.I put it through a Vox AD50 V T modelling amp which is a little complicated although when I find the right sound I can lock it in a channel and save it.I should have bought a Crate.The action on electric guitars are ok unless someone has over tightened the truss rod. Mine has got 2 allen screws on the bridge to raise and lower the action The amp is a Vox AD 50 VT Valvetronix and if anyone has advice on a clean setting for rhythm and a setting for blues let me know please
