I had the most horrible "toinks" and buzzing from the roller bridges on both my 1996 and C64. I use much lighter strings on mine, and I'm sure these added to the prob, but another source seems to be the shallow angle of the strings over the bridge from the vibrato, and the strings didn't
seem to be ...

Amazing, as always... thanks!

Finally over... Ain't it grand?!?!?

Bravo!

Wow, Golden Earring... hadn't thought of them in awhile. Especially liked their album "Switch"

Don't use WD-40 on firearms either

Sheena - is that considered "pricey" over there?

p.s. nice Ramones shirt!

I tried the reissue at a dealer, and, like Alisha, didn't think it worth the price. For that much you can get a Martin, Taylor or Gibson.

Saw Matt Mays & El Torpedo on Comcast's Backstage show. From Nova Scotia, seemed a good, hard-working band. The singer played an FG 360/12, which looked great in the studio lighting. Apparently where on Conan O'Brien in mid December as well (tho I missed that one). If you're interested>>>

Thanks Richard, hadn't heard Beatles' version before. Always loved that song. Marshall Crenshaw did a decent cover on his first album.

Amazing...
