This old boy is losing it! I just ordered a Rickard 12" Maple Ridge Dobson to go with my other recently-acquired banjos. Frankly, with carpel-tunnel in both hands, banjos are a God-send, and I recommend that any guitarist with similar afflictions give the 5-stringers a whirl. It'll only help your guitar playing and it'll open up a whole new sonic and tactile experience--as well as esoterica--that will likely be as exciting as your love of guitar! Trust Me On This!
