Surprised to see Jim Dunlop, I thought they were family owned and was not aware of takeover.

Sorry about my poor choice of words. I tried to be supportive. Often we wonder about vaccines but they serve the purpose of reducing the risk of even more unpleasant encounters with health providers (and associated costs) if infection occurs. It looks like the link to avma did not work so here...

Well it's considered a core vaccine and if you care about health for the dog you don't want to miss a core vaccine. However, you can also do an exposure risk assessment. The bacteria come mainly from cattle and wildlife, and if you are in a city and your dogs don't really drink from uncontrolled...

I also got the notification though I have to admit that I very little awareness of Breedlove and Bedell guitars. I looked at their website a few times but never encountered one of their guitars anywhere. The notice got me curious though and a Google search suggests that the Bedells are cashing...

Congrats on finding this treasure. I wonder if you can pinpoint the reason why this is easier to play than some of the others. Is this something with the guitar such as scale, or neck size or shape, or the way it was set up with action at nut and 12th fret, or relief? Or something else tangible...

Thanks I was not aware of that, so they are bigger? Is it not the same body size as the Orpheum 12 fret 000 version, just with longer scale and 14 frets to the body? I always thought mine felt pretty big, but never compared to proper 0M.

Although Peter closed the store and repair business, he keeps on building and churning out high end guitars and mandolins. This one really caught my attention, a Stella inspired ladder braced slothead 12 string. He posts his builds on his Facebook profile. This one at a 4k price sold within less...

I started a thread about 2 years ago and want to post an update, but it is closed due to inactivity. How can an old thread be resurrected?

I think that the Orpheum 0M turned into some kind of unicorn. Now if Guild released those again they might make a splash.

I usually carry some bills of assorted value and coins in my wallet but can't remember the last time I used that in a store. I like cash, and it is sad that it is getting out of use. Recently we had a collection for at colleague at work which usually involves an envelope where people put their...

Thanks everyone. Coast Music, the distributer of Hercules in Canada, is sending me a replacement. https://www.coastmusiconline.com/catalog/brands

I have no idea.

I have had my Hercules stand for about as long as my Guild guitar and today noticed some ominous white spots on the the grips and they feel like they get squishy. Looks a bit like mildew but the stand is not anywhere near a source of moisture. Has anyone else seen something like this and...

Notably in "very good" condition. Though those partially unravelled strings on the headstock may tell some stories.

Great songwriter and performer in the 70s. Here's a nice resource site with tabs of many of his songs https://playingcatstevens.wordpress.com/

I thought he mainly played Ovations in his early and productive years.

Here in Regina, Canada, there are many many people who think they are musicians. And very few places to perform. So it swings the other way and many places ask the musicians to pay for the privilege of exposure and opportunity to collect tips. Few people make a living with music, mainly through...

I am Canadian and not an accountant. But for me the difference between hobby and business is that the business is there for profit and the hobby can be expected to cost money. So if you sell your guitars for less than you buy them, if it's a hobby you can't deduct losses from your taxes whereas...

I have treated ebony fingerboards with regular mineral oil from the drug store. As this is not plant based it won't turn sticky or go rancid. So far so good.

This is posted at Elderly for what I think is a crazy low price. I wonder if it has issues. https://www.elderly.com/products/martin-j-12-so-26u-220173
