On page 31 of the old testament, there is a picture of the wooden bridges Guild used on starchtops. The 1957-1958 has a scalloped base, and the 1959 and after has a two-footed base. Did Guild use any flat or scalloped bases after 1959?

Fetid as in strong smelling as in two-footed??

Yes, more so if they are flat-feted.

Oh, I don't know - think of all the battles won on the plains, of naval victories on calm seas, of heroic cowboys on the endless prairie, of chess champions overcome by underdogs - many a feat on the flat, seems to me.

But it is a rule, for the same reason, that marching bands for bipedal humans should not work in Bb, and that the post parade for quadripedal equines is never ever played in Ab.

Carumba. Please look at the bridges on your arch(not flat)tops and tell me how many since 1960 are flatlining or scalloping instead of two-stepping.

Rather than two-stepping - I'm not much of a dancer - I'm side-stepping this question. Perhaps the author of our "Bible" can help provide you with the closure you seek...Hans?

My guitars are too old - a quick scan of the good book seems to show bipeds in all the post-1960 models except (perhaps) for the two CE-100s on p. 73 - but it's a very small sample and hard to distinguish in the B/W photos.

Hans will tell all.
