"You bend the ball end slightly to make it clear the end of the pin more easily and seat against the bridge plate better, that's about it. I generally round over the end of the pins slightly too when I first get a guitar, though some come this…"

"Seagull" Spoken Here ... (also fluent in "Godin" Gab)
By far the most active brand-dedicated group in the AGM online community!! For those who own, play and love their Seagull Guitars ... (or any other Godin acoustic) wonderful, top-quality instruments made in Canada, Seagulls (as well as Godin, Simon & Patrick, Norman, Art & Lutherie, La Patrie, and Richmond) are ideal choices for anyone who wants a first-rate guitar for a reasonable investment.Check them all out at:…See More
Mike Crocker replied to Terry Angelli's discussion Another revenue stream? in the group Teachers"No rental instruments. I have certainly considered it, and may start later this year.

I prefer to be on their right. As it is, my chair swivels and fully adjusts so I never have to tolerate…"
Jay david Sims replied to Mike Crocker's discussion Metal in the group Teachers"You have a very legitimate concern, and I've faced it too many times myself, I personally like the older Metal, so I'm at home
with knowledge I can give students regarding the genre. However, when a student is locked into one…"
John Michael Meehan replied to Mike Crocker's discussion What guitar are you using for gypsy jazz? in the group Gypsy Jazz"I use a Shelly Park model Monmarte. It is a Favino style body, a little larger than the Maccaferri. It is a petite bouche and is a real canon. I also use a D hole Maccaferri style by Saga/Gitane occasionally for rhythm backup. In order to get…"
