Which strings are buzzing?  You can take a piece of paper and put it between the string and frets and move it around the fretboard while plucking the string until the buzz is muted... This will usually give you a good idea of were it's originating... Could be that a fret has come loose and risen some causing buzz but it sounds more like the nut slots are too deep if it goes away when the string is fretted... Heading out to work now but will chime in more the afternoon....

I completely understand your position In about 3 years time I bought, sold, & traded around 100 guitars. I'd buy and sell and buy and sell trying to find the next one that was a little better & every once in a while I'd come across one that was just not for re-sale and it'd get put aside as a keeper   I worked up to having 6 that I knew I'd never part with and have been GAS free for over a year However, there is this Cedar/Rosewood Stonebridge OM that would round out the collection quite nicely and has been trying to creep into my subconsious lately lol

I'm just carrying a 6 man dome tent. It's mostly mesh unless you put on the rain fly....  I'm also going to carry some percussion stuff for any that don't play but still want to join in Bongos, gueiro, egg shakers, etc...

With a chance of rain I'd recommend getting a large trash bag to throw in the compartment of your case. Comes in real handy if your away from the tent and it starts pouring. Just put the case in bag and tie it off to keep it good and dry. I do this most nights as well to keep the humidity from damp mornings out...

The company doesn't disclose the exact kind of polish. They just say custom polish but it's very similar ,if not the same, as French polish. It's a hand rubbed finish...

It's not a hard finish to apply but dries real quick and takes some practice to get it just right... I'd recommed gettin a few pieces of scrap wood about the same size as a guitar top and play with doing areas about that size before doing the guitar itself... As I said before it dries fast so you'll want pay attention and work it around the body from one upper bout to another keeping it overlapped for a even finish.

Welcome to Chordie!!

Thanks!  Wife says "Awwww that was sooo sweet "

They are flatwound strings.  I used Gibson flatwound mediums when I had my semi-hollow body electric and they always performed well for me. And yes, you can switch to round wound strings if you like   I liked the flats for sliding around the fretboard quietly when amped though.

As to improving the sound quality, It's hard to say...  They could just be old strings but generally flat wound strings seem a little duller in tone to me than round wound strings. It really depends on your whole set up, the sound your looking for, and the genre your covering. I like the flats for blues but round for most everything else.

It's just a baby   I pull them out of Cape Fear river around 60-70 lbs fairly often and almost never fish with anything over 14lb test. It's packed with real nice blues and flatheads and they love about a 18 inch live eel or the head half of a big cut shad. I've spent many years mapping out that river bottom with sonar to find good spots though...

Light lines makes it sooo much more fun This was from the Lumber and it's a decent size for there. The biggest I've pulled out of it is only about 50 lbs.

Noodlin' cats is also a lot of fun if you have the nerve for it!

I believe NELA has caught some in the 80lb range if I remember right...  I've never broke the 80lb mark myself though

Thanks Zurf!   Fixing to Google map the area now and get a lay of the land....

Fought that cat for about 30 minutes.... Had to ease him in on 10lb line and he was about 40lbs. He straight pulled drag for the first few and then I thought I'd lost him cause he just set on the bottom and I couldn't budge him an inch. Just knew He had me wrapped! He was finally beached though. Was fishing with a hand size bluegill for bait, set about 2 ft off the bottom... (That's a friend of mine holding it up so I could get a better pic) The Largemouth were biting really good to but I'll have to get my buddy to send me some pics of those.

More can be purchased in the future if you like but the price may vary slighltly. I'm trying to do these as a bulk order to get us a little better price.... Individual orders could be done later by signworks (send me an email for his contact info) if you wish.

Doug, the easiest way to pay would be through paypal or I could take a check or US Postal MO if need be. No need to worry about payment at this time though, I'm covering the initial investment myself. We can arrange the payments once I have them in hand and ready to mail out I'd guess about a week from now...

I'll be submitting this bulk order Monday so anyone else that's interested should speak up before then

Well the ribs turned out GREAT   Some of the best I've had!

I slow baked them for 2.5 hrs @ 300 and then let them sit for about 30 minutes before smoking them for about an hour and a half over some Hickory. Then it was sauce time... Sauced them up and threw them directly over the hickory coals to caramelize them good and then moved 'em back to the smoking section for a little more smoky goodness to stick to the sauce. After about 30 minutes of that we had these babies

Highly recommend any of you rib lovers to give these a try! -Pix
