Barry... very nice work, and I love the F-hole signature. One question though... I notice a green thingmy on the high string end winding... Is that the plastic sleeve that used normally on the bridge for protection? If so, do you always leave it there?and why?... I usually just get rid of them and lately I have been compensating by touching the string slot on the bridge with super glue to help prevent the string from cutting into the bridge.
Cheers, Mat |

Hey Matt. Yes that is the string sleeve. I too use a drop of super glue and or parchment but I usually leave it on the string sdo the customer can use it if they like. Some people really like to use them and some don't. |

Not a bad idea... I never like to throw anything away, but I guess I always worried about the sleeve eventually creating a vibration rattle. I think I will try your idea a few times...
Cheers, Mat |

You are correct about the possibility of creating a buzz. If I am going to leave it on I will slide it down as far as I can on the windings. |
