Searching for Poor Man’s Guide Issue #2
I am searching for a copy of the Poor Man’s Guide Magazine, Issue No. 2. The one which details how Weesay Freeman built his guitars. If you have a copy for sale, or know where I can buy a copy, please let me know.
Thanks
Tim Gratsinger

The “do not reuse” doesn’t have anything to do with recycling, it’s because of the caustic nature of what was inside? If you fill it with gas, the residue from the lantern fuel will mix & burn dirty causing smoke?

I never heard of lantern fuel causing tics, but then I never drank any myself.

Buzzing strings when fretted. Frets look good. I have a zero fret license plate guitar. Break angle I can inprove at the nut however the buzzing is coming from the bridge, I used a banjo bridge.
