Project at a standstill

[Woody OKeefe]

John and Ken,
Thanks for your replies.
Ken, yes the neck attaches at the 14th fret.
I need to think about this. My first instinct is to go with the easy fix , especially because I have large hands and working inside the guitar is difficult. It took me 2 days to re-glue a loose tone bar in my first guitar.
John you have built over 100 guitars and I'm on my 2nd. what seems easy and correct to you scares me. I have ruined the first top for this guitar, but salvaged it as a clock, so I am a little nervous.
I'll be out of town for a week so I'll have time to ponder. I'll let you know.

Thanks again to you both

I understand . Do fret over it . You will find what is best for you.

He fretted it already. The problem is the bridge plate.

that was a pun

that was a pun

There is nothing punny about this situation. The man has a serious problem with his bridge plate. Although, I do think I should point out, and not to offend anyone, but its spelled with an "f" not a "p" as in, Fun or Funny. Not pun or punny. But I went with the p so as to not contradict your spelling.






Disclaimer:Everything I said in this post has been an attempt at humor. Except the part about the bridge plate snafu. Thats real and really not funny.

I broke down and put out the big bucks for the Oxford English dictionary. I love it for many reasons, but finding out how words have been used thru history is a big reason. Here's a little from the entry for "pun'
