Surprised no one's had the Barney Miller theme... Myself and the guitarist of the day sort of worked out a kinda version of it once

I bet I could do it worse...

What a shame you have no pics of it, I'm most intrigued now...

Or plywood

OK.. So it's several lumps of wood, bits of metal, bits of wire, bits of plastic, carbon fibre, fanatical devotion to the pope...

Here's an interesting idea as regards headless Tuner/Bridges... it's an Italian firm apparently, using the depth of the body for the adjustable tensioning movement, rather than straight pull rearwards... The Rick thing might be a bit slim profile for this but it'd be good on a chunkier body

That's exactly the kind of thing I thought,seeing the title! Now that jazz you described sounds brilliant..

Agreed 100%. 👍

Love it ! 😁

Good stuff.. I found these just the job, as I say, needs a bit of patience but they created nice neat slots in a plastic nut, would no doubt work on bone or any other commonly used material

Yes that kind of thing, easier to use if you detach them individually so those would be ideal

Seem to recall this question came up a while ago.. What I've used are very cheap welding nozzle tip cleaner files, they come in little tin cases and are round section (not tapered) which is handy, unlike needle files that often are taper. I've cut nuts from scratch with these, with a bit of time and patience. This kind of thing, literally 2 or 3 quid, so expendable!

They kind of got a divorce from PayPal a couple of years back or so, if you flog stuff they pay into your bank acc. I always pay for stuff I buy on ebay with PayPal though

Reckon it's the classier end of cheesy.. 😁

I dumped them years ago when they kept putting the renewal price up and up...

Makes you wonder if they actually want to sell anything...

Indeed they have!

Just some cheesy disco thing, or a bit o' Chic 😁

Nah, they all sit around on polypropylene chairs going on about when they last had a drink...

^ Great tutorial there 👍 I had a "ski jump" on the 4 string tenor guitar I made from a regular acoustic, it was basically everything from fret 14 where the body joins the neck. I got a big old smooth engineer's file (that was dead flat) and filed the frets quite a way down until they were clear of the strings fretted above. In this case I wasn't bothered about the playability of those frets anyway as I was never going up the dusty end.. (there's no money above the 5th fret )

Agree 100% with what the guys say .. I started again after many years away from playing, then voila, at age 48 I was doing lots of gigs and having a great time. In many ways, in today's world it seems far more common and totally accepted for bands to have older age group players... .. when I was 19 we'd roll our eyes at bands if they looked like they were about 28, or god forbid 30s . Luckily people don't seem to think like that any more..

Ah you speak Chinese then 😁

I only flog occasional smallish value stuff when they desperately send one of those "pay no more than £1 fees" type offers. .. tbh I've been lucky over the years and not really had any total nutters as above. Evilbay is still useful for buying mundane stuff and birthday pressies etc, so I'm glad it exists, but it's less than ideal... likely as it's become too big for its boots so to speak.
