My Duolian fretboard was also going into pieces, these are wonderful instruments and fascinating construction specially the woodstick which drives the adjustment of the intonation
Wonderful đ
That was a lot of fun Robbie and whoever that guitar is going to is one lucky guy.đ
Thanks Robert. I appreciate you kicking the tires for us on this one.
Sounded like "walking blues". Nice guitar.
Sounds awesome!
Have you ever thought of adding a class on building a resonator guitar? That would be cool.
maybe one day.
which one is your suppliers except LUTHIER's merchantile, i had bad experience not only once. chung honolulu, hi
I work with several suppliers. I am surprised you had a negative experience with LMI. If there is ever a problem they make it right.
This guitar was NOT marketed as a National Trojan. It has a Z series serial number. This means it was built by Harmony, and sold through the retail Sears catalogue. It was sold as a âSupertoneâ and never had a National logo. I agree it is almost identical to the National Trojan model made by Harmony but the f holes are different. You may think this is a pedantic piece of nit picking. I agree, but Itâs not correct to say a logo has fallen off when it never had one!
Thank you for the info.
could i send a few pictures of bad material? sales team including chris, not train well . specially chris is very rude and bad. let me have your email in order to send this pictures.
my contact info is on my website but if it is bad materials LMI will make it right.
