I just wanted to put in a plug for classicalguitartuners.com and Zebulon Turrentine. I was looking for some single classical tuners for a 7 string project and found his website. I was a little confused at first because he catalogs all the available tuners including ones that he doesn't sell but he supplies Der Jung (from Korea) and Gotoh tuners among others. I believe he can also get steel string tuners. The

I might be sending a guitar to Germany. I have no idea how I would go about shipping it. Is there an obvious choice for a carrier? DHL or something? It's a $2k guitar and I've tried to talk the guy out of buying it, I'm scared shipping might be horrendous.

Any animal glue shrinks; it shrinks like crazy and if I understand correctly that’s one thing makes it so strong as a wood glue. But it’s terrible at gap filling which is pretty important when frettin…
I have an Epiphone explorer that suffered a vertical neck break in shipping. I'm in the middle of repairing the break a la Ted Woodford's remedy. My question is, what would be the polyurethane you'd recommend to cover the break? A couple of things to consider/questions I have: The neck color is not quite all the way black but the customer is fine with it being darker than the original color. The neck finish is satin What would be the best…
Im curious about the issues with the point zero, I haven't ordered one in a while, but the last few I ordered served me great. Something might have changed.
I am not sure these are available anymore. Company in Germany, I believe, and it looks like they are not shipping. Not much info on the web other than distaste for the idea of a tuning system by Gibson owners. Anyone know where to source these? If not, I may just have to make one.

Well, I guess no one has had to replace a first generation Gibson robotic battery here. It appears that this battery is no longer available. So I did what any repair person with a soldering iron and a…
So this one is a real doozy. Gorgeous Heritage hollowbody, destroyed in shipping. Owner got a full refund and they didn't want the guitar back, so he has no money in it currently. He's a collector and longtime friend/client/student of mine, which is the only reason I'm even considering it, he understands the potential nightmare this could be, and he builds very serious race cars for a living, so I can have in-depth and frank conversa…
