Topic: Hi from the Virgin Islands!

Me and Mrs BGD are in the Virgin Islands on a sail boat charter for a week.

There's a guitar on board with a huge neck scoop. Almost unplayable. I'm going to attempt a truss rod adjustment via needle nose pliers - it's a baby Taylor, no hex nut, just a bolt. Wish me luck. smile

Pics forthcoming. smile

Re: Hi from the Virgin Islands!

If it's a Baby Taylor, the neck will likely break. I took my Yamaha Dreadnought sailing too often. The under bridge pickup ceased to function.
We chartered twice in the Virgins. Liked Yost Van Dyke, The Baths and Virgin Gorda.
Y'all have fun now, Y' hear.

We pronounce it "Guf Coast".
Ya'll wanna go down to the Guf?

Looks like I'm not going to screw with the neck then. Dammit!

You dog.  Have fun and good luck with the guitar

I have finally found happiness in my life.  Guitars, singing, beer and camping.  And they all intertwine wonderfully.
