A while back I bought 3 or 4 old parlor guitars on Ebay, I am in the process of working on one now... Sounds like you might have one in your future? I got a copy of the neck resetting video from Stewmac... Of course now I can't find it...
Nudge, thanks for the comment! Glad you liked the cutout. We started with cutouts, actually--out of necessity more than style. We could only find those type of tuners here locally, so thought we'd give it a shot! Hope yours turns out well. Let's see the pictures, too!
hi, thanks for listening and comments, cheers oogi.

Hey Nudge, I don't know if you got the answer I sent from my smart phone... The neck on the four string resonator is a bolt on.. I used a barrel nut like you would (could) on a acoustic guitar.... It's not that tricky and it allows me to set the neck angle. Just my way of doing it..Nothing more sinister then that... Take care - Jim
cheers!...oh right D'arco mediums yeah that's what I'm using (didn't know where to start and read somewhere that's what Shane used) I'm using the A,D and G strings...wondered if you were using the E,A and D?

Beats me. They told me when I bought it, but I forgot. It has a good tone to it.

Ha,..........good to know that you know 'Costo's & Krista" they are good friends of ours, we eat at "Sophia's" quite often, wicked small world, isn't it? (:>}
'Shara Wormwood' in Limerick is our Vet, has been since we lived here.
Yeah, I get the WILD beard thing a lot, especially in the winter when I just let it go long, call it my "Winter Coat" don't you know, helps keep my delicate skin protected from the harsh Maine elements. LOL !
I don't get over to Limmington much, just pass through sometimes on the way up to Whindam if going the back way to get away from Rt-25, use to stop at "Two Trails" for a coffee but it's changed and I don't much care for the way it is now.
Well, if you spot me in a teal 2000 Dodge Dakota Sport don't hesitate to holler.
