Re: Frustrated (10 replies, posted in Acoustic)
Hi ya Fire art. You mentioned that you did a nut and bridge job. Did you do a truss rod adjustment? A trip to a good Luthier just might help you decide what to do or just let him/her do a proper set up on it. I did a set up on a cheap beater guitar, it turned out pretty well and I had fun learning how to do it. Eventually I traded it for a yamaha 12er as I really did'nt need two six string guitars.

Re: Country singer Mindy McCready dead at 37 (9 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
It is so heartbreaking, I pray that she is at peace now. The daily struggle to cope with a mental illness can be so overwelming. Very little is known about brain chemistry. The medical community prescribes drugs, but for some the "cure" is never found as the cause cannot be correctly diagnosed. What may work for one person may not work for another, treatment is mostly trial and error. Ninety five percent of those who suffer from a mental illnes may respond to conventional treatment, but for those five percent who do not, the struggle to cope is unbearable.

Re: 4 questions (12 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
1. I use a pick for strumming and flat picking 90% and finger pick 10% of the time.
2. I'll play over the sound hole most of the time. Sometimes I play up towards the neck or down towards the bridge to get the sound I want.
3. Yea, fret wear is normal. Re-fretting is possible.
4. Never experienced a packaging problem.
