Dennis replied to Rudy Ray's discussion Scratch Repair"I suggest that you e-mail Seagull and ask what they recommend for sealing a scratch. CA glue ("superglue") is replacing clear nail polish as the favored scratch touch-up, but it should be the slower kind that isn't an instantaneous…"
Dennis commented on John Michael Meehan's group Baritone Guitar"My Alvarez ABT60 has arrived. I ordered the Alvarez to experiment with before sinking big $$ into a baritone.

Dennis commented on Curtis's group Slack Key Guitar - Ki Ho'alu"I think your best bet is to just go through the listings on Dancing Cat and Amazon. There aren't a huge number of slack key albums so its not as monumental a task as it sounds."

It's tedious, but persistence doing drills is the key. Getting a "GripMaster" squeeze…"
Dennis replied to Curtis's discussion Slack key and high e string too close to edge"Try a heavy gauge E1. Or try a few different E1 strings. Or both. Modifying the nut would be my last move. Did you switch to a different kind of string just before this started?"
Dennis replied to matt's discussion Ebony finger board - to treat or not to treat"Don't use boiled linseed oil. It's is a natural polymerized finish, not an wood treatment. It's the base for "hand-rubbed oil" and "danish" finishes on furniture, or for thinning oil paint. It dries…"
