Thanks Eric, my pleasure, I am privileged to be a part of this group and do my best to add what I can to our base. I learn a lot from you guys and while forums are testing from time to time the value of being in your company is a security blanket of some size. I am building a factory at the moment so I may not be as responsive as I would like to be but I will do my best to hit the main forum pages every other day - nice to make yr acquaintance Eric, Regards, Rusty.
Eric, I just wonder whether we are taking this guy to a place that he is capable of being - he is a a self-acknowledged hobbiest and may not have the basic skills to do anything here to a craftman like manner. I'm not engaging in this conversation because it involves outcomes that may not be achievable by the member and also discussions on counterfeiting serial numbers. Personally, I'm OK with either reclaiming the headstock or board removal/scarf jointing, filling the Kahler mess in and painting the whole thing black. But then again I like the looks of Explorers and V's andhave a soft spot for these sometimes maligned instruments. Hope your cruising Eric, it's springtime here at last, and I wish you and yours well. Rusty
Eric, I hope this is the right place for this. I had noticed in the "Neck Re-set Gallery" that you had worked on the Mauer #5 Monogram, and that it had a mortice and tenon type of neck. I have a Bruno that has the same neck attachment, and I was wondering how you put the neck back on the Mauer.
I am also working on a guitar that I think looks a lot like a Washburn, but has only a small stamped name "U.S. Crane" on the end of the peghead. The neckblock is oak and square, with the number 6317 stamped in ink on it, There is the same number stamped on the inside of the rosewood side. Again, I saw the neck joint of the Washburn that you had shown in the gallery. Was that oak block square, and did it have any numbers?
Thanks for the help, not only with this, but for the many times in the past. George
