If you do a search here in the forums for "head stock separation" you'll see how I repaired mine. Its still holding together just fine and stays in tune. I'm pretty sure I used Titebond II but would recommend Titebond III these days. Some pics of what you're dealing with would be good...

Re: Help me out guys! Looking for grilling ideas :) (16 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
Ok.. Getcha some jumbo gulf shrimp. wrap each one in half a slice of Wright's Applewood thick cut smoked bacon. Skewer them and put the on a grill on LOW for about 30 min. That thick bacon has to cook, so SLOW is the key. Near the end, slather with your favorite sauce. I like half "Sticky Fingers Habenero" and half "Jack Daniels Old Number 7 BBQ sauce". But whatever you like will be a winner.

Re: Jam session happennigs (25 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
Went to a wedding once where the invitations said, "If you have guitar, bring it. You'll be in the band for the reception." 8 people and me showed up with acoustics. The wedding was out in the woods next to a creek and so was the reception. Best wedding I've been to in years! We had dead fall trees for seats, moonshine and all the beer you could fit in your truck. Add guitars and you've got quite a party.

Re: How did you figure out your chordie name? (39 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
Back when the internet was only in black and white, I got an email address for Tracy and Matt. Later when that provider went away and I had to get a new email, I had to settle for tandm3 cause tandm, 1 and 2 were already taken. I don't use that email any more but its the easiest user name for me to remember.

Re: DO YOU GIVE A NAME TO YOUR GUITAR? (39 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
Out of my herd, only one has a name. I call the Ovation - Number One. All the rest are whatever the decal says on the headstock. I have a black Godin that a friend calls Black Betty (bam-ba-lam) but I don't.

You know...when....you've just played the best solo of your life for a song that is everyone's favorite. The crowd is cheering. You are stoked at your amazing performance when you finally realize that the home team has just scored on the big screen above the bar and that, in fact, no one is listening, or even care's that you are there...

Re: Walter Srtauss????? (2 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
Oddly, there are great American guitarists that are almost unknown in the US. I've not heard of this guy. I never heard of Sea Sick Steve either until someone sent me a youtube.com link featuring his music on a European TV show. Europe is much more open to new or different musical styles than the US is. Here, if you're not backed by P. Diddy, you're not getting any airplay. As a consequence, there is a ton of talent here that is never heard. It's sad, it's a shame, and its pathetic. I wish I could fix it but I don't know where to start.. 
I was in Ireland recently and had the privilege to attend Frankie Gavin's newest CD release performance. What a treat. He's a fabulous musician. His band is fantastic and he's unheard of in the States. It's a shame that this Gaga nation won't allow the variety and choice that we all need.
Your guy Strauss is probably in Scotland because he or his manager is smart enough to know that he is very marketable in Europe, but couldn't get a bar gig in the US even with corporate backing..

Welcome Gabby. I hope your experiences here will be as good as mine. There are some really fine people on this site and some really great advice. Everybody here is different but there really is a civil tone on this site that is absent in many other sites. The common thread that binds us all together here is different from other forums which is why I am here. I wish you well, and hope you enjoy your time here.

Re: Pricing “sweet spot" : What is your comfort zone? (27 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
Getting back to the original question... I spent $500 on my first guitar back in 1982. Prior to that, my Dad had bought me a bass and I had borrowed 6 strings.. It was more money than I could afford but I still have that Ovation guitar and it sounds and plays better than ever. It was a lot of money back then and its a lot of money now but its paid for itself many times over. Sometimes you do get what you pay for. My #1 is 30 years old this year.. I should throw it a party.
