Location: North Cal. mountains | By the way, somebody mentioned nostalgia.
Did any of you ever fill a nut groove with super glue to get rid of fret buzz? Or put a bit of matchbook board in your bridge?
Always remember from whence you came.
Simple was good, when it needed to to be. |

Location: North Cal. mountains | I bought and sold cars for years. I don't get my hands dirty anymore.
Also dealt in antiques. Altered artifacts are always less valuable.
So go for it. You'll make me rich.
Of course, ebony, ivory and bone will not decrease the value. Even.
But that poor one on oo-bay needs saving. (The one with the gorgeous top and the sad head?.)
Save that. |

Hmmmm ... sounds like a good idea. Almost all of my O plastic saddles have developed significant wear and have those annoying groves in them. Perhaps I'll save up and start switching them out. (AFTER I pay for my daughters wedding) ): |

Location: Simpsonville, SC | U mean that you bought a Silent guitar 31 yrs.ago..?..and I bet that in them 60`s-70`s U thought that acoustic was n`t that easy,.. Sir , I dare calling U an Experienced Player Enfant, this was my first guitar and it wasn't as loud compared to my O's..unfortunatly after about five years of playing it went in the case and closet. 25 years later I have returned to playing..I prefer to call myself a Refound, Renewed Beginner. (and having the time of my life).
A luthier suggested that I not replace the saddle on my 1867 with bone because it may not transfer the vibrations consistently or correctly to the pickups. What do you experts think? Have you done this ? How does it sound?

Saddle & nut - bone, fossil or fresh ivory?
