"Ok, so I have a problem. My wife Susan gets migraine head aches. I tend not to play My guitars because she complains so much."
"That LYS was made in about 1983 before the factory caught fire. It's a nice Guitar. X braced like a un-scalloped brace Martin. Large sized scale. Built like a tank.
I want to add a pick up and get it playing. Need to do the inlay. "
"Finally retired now. Thinking about guitars again. I have projects to finish. I went to Bethlehem Pa for a inlay course. Need to get back into it. Finish My inlay projects. I have an old LYS. Old Godin from the 1980s. I refinished the top. Had water…"

- I just enjoy Blues roots music. I've always been into wood working.I work as a Mill Right so close tolerances are something I'm used to doing.It's fun to build something that might be passed down generation to generation. I've also built regular electric Guitar Kits.I have some books too. So I know what the tolerances should be. I do play a few times a week. Once I retire I hope to get more playing time. I'd like to eventually find some folks to play with..

- Charles, thanks for the comment on my Ukulele. It seems to tune well (keep in mind I know nothing about music/playing). I tune it to one of those little clip on tuners. It is braced inside with 1/2" plywood at each end and 3/8" sticks on the sides, top and bottom. The neck is epoxied on with two wood screws going into it from the inside. I have to tune it often because the strings are still stretching. It is tenor scale with tenor strings.

- Hello,
I have started a CBN group entitled, "How to Play CBG" It is my hope and intention to encourage the "Wealth of Talent" here on the Nation to share their knowledge and skill to further the CBG movement. Please consider contributing an instructional "video" link to this group. If you are a viewer seeking instruction, please feel free to write. If you have any suggestions or know other players who you think may want to post instructional "video" links, please contact me. Thank you for your interest and support, Keni Lee
