Wonderful primer on DIY level and crown fretwork! Thank you sooo much!

Hey! I've got that DVD! Terry is just a great teacher, and that's a good production! My old soldering is just something I'm ashamed of...(nervermore)! Thanks marnold, and o'course: Terry Downs. (No, I am not affiliated w/Terry in any way. Don't even know him.

Great thread! I will do this someday! Thanks so much, you guys, for the thread w/great instructions! (p.s. I jes' do not like bare headstocks, there's always room for a tongue-in-cheek, DIY logo)!

Hey, even David Crosby has to get old! (Well, then again, he almost didn't make it. Never mind). Anyhow, I feel better again.

I agree. The electronic components req'd for a big tone change are often for few bucks, or less. If you know where to put 'em, why not?

Wonderful player! I can dig him. What a tight, tight band...they smoke. ***Thanks!!!!****

I lived in Tampa, somewhat near the aerodrome (TIA). Played extended gigs in Tallahassee, Ocala, Brooksville, Tarpon Spgs., St. Pete/Clearwater, all the way down to Arcadia (moo!) and Naples. Nothing on the other coast. My "Gainesville-playing" friends (from Tampa) were a band called...

Joe and his band put on a hell of a show!
