  1. Hi all... I have recently purchased a 57 Country Western (Jumbo?). That's what the receipt says anyway, it's the size of a dreadnought, but the sound out of it is certainly jumbo. It has a shrinking pick guard problem that has cracked and moved the flat top. It went to a luthier (sp) and received a custom brace to compensate for the skew in the top (from the side of the bridge to the side of the guitar is 1/4 inch) and a new bridge. As a result of that work it is almost marginally playable. The cheap fix would be to redo the bridge to suit the neck but it;s not the right fix. That pick guard has to go and the repair, probably. Does anybody know of a site that will show me the steps? The guitar is wonderfully ugly... had a whole lot of love beaten right into it.
  2. I just brought one home sec... Nothing... no care manuals, no stickers, no discount coupons on string pegs. Just sent mail to the dealer bout the manual; might be useful (THANKS for mentioning that, never thought about one). The rest?.... Too busy with the guitar to put them any where anyway
