US dollar is gaining some strength while Aussie dollar continues to suffer from negative sentiments regarding the future of our commodities industry.....

Right thats enough Kiwi bashing...Im complaining to the moderators.

How can someone be so stupid as to live in Noosa and have a Performax sander for sale????

Why cant everybdy live in Adelaide?

Frig......

Anyone in Noosa??

The real problem is actually related to exposure to excessive amounts of lanolin.

What link????

Hey Seb,

I did a bit of googling and this is about all I could find on filling holes in soundboards. I think its probably more suited to holes smaller than the one youre dealing with.

I have a Kiwi friend over in Sydney who is a geneticist by trade. During her uni years she had a job at a fertility clinic. One thing they found was that household cleaners were a major cause of infertility in men.

Dave,

Allen sent out an email with amount owing in $Aus and his bank account details. Looks like the email didnt get through to you. Ive PM'd you Allens bank account details. Youll have to contact him and get the amount owing in Aus funds.

Robbie, This probably a stupid question and maybe I dont understand something but I notice in the video the bottom of the braces are being profiled by rubbing the brace lengthways along the central area of the dished form. This would be ok for a brace that is going in at the top of the 30' arch on t...

Allen,

Ive always divided my braces into halves or thirds to determine scallop peak locations. This was how I was taught to do it by Paddy Burgin and Dave Freeman.

Nice work there Mark and Jack.

That back brace just south of the waist looks interesting. It looks very low...almost like a patch rather than a brace. What's going on there??

Cheers Martin

Good video Robbie. Nice uncomplicated method and everything clearly explained.

I havent preshaped my braces prior to glue up before now but will bhe giving it a go on the next build.

Cheers and thanks for posting

The boys are on their way (sound of cracking knuckles)

Bob, do you want payment into your NAB bank account in US dollars? How do I go about that?

This guitar has flat wound strings which have seen better days. Id like to get some new strings on and give it a full work out. From my reading the slimline semis were some of the better harmony's that came out. In the case I found a set of music lessons....the ones with tests in the back which you ...

The Aussie Dollar is a resource backed currency. China will soon be naming the price it pay for our resources.......I wouldnt expect a marked improvement in our dollar against the greenback.

I hope they throw the book at the stupid pr**k. They can start by booking him for not wearing a seat belt. I had a very satisfying experience involving car hoons last night. Hearing a racket coming from the video shop across the road I went to investigate and noted 3 dimwitted Hoons fiddling under t...

Sebastiaan. 1. top does appear to be flamed maple. Its quite thick and the instrument isnt really loud or toneful in acoustic mode. 2. Markers look like pearl but I havent ha d areal close look at same. 3. Ive got the instrument on loan at the moment so will do some measurements and post 'em up for ...

Lillian, According to the website the H-76 had the Bigsby like this one does. It was purchased in Adelaide , Australia. From what I could find it's a H-75 or H-76. I didn't find anything about it's worth, but it's a really cool guitar. http://www.broadwaymusicco.com/Harmony2.htm Its about half way d...

Thanks for the info Sebastiaan. Looks like its an H-76 made around 1963. Looks like its worth around $US700.

A good friends girlfriend brought it around yesterday. It was her late father's. Label inside the body reads "E-75. Serial 4601" and its made in the USA. The guitar is in mint condition apart from two cracks along underside of headstock where it looks like wings have been glued on. Cracks are clean ...
