On the plus side, this might not be a bad way to smooth out the edges of your fingerpicks.

I usually play with serrated fingerpicks for optimal treble response. For some reason, I keep breaking strings at the sound hole??

Ah, thanks for sharing this with us. It's very helpful. Our protocol calls for removing serrated fingerpicks when we place the muzzle on the victim, er, I mean community member. Safety first, tone second!

Reservations made at the Hampton Inn. Flying into San Antonio on Friday and leaving Monday morning. Thanks, Tom, for putting on this event. Your home looks beautiful, and I've always wanted to visit that part of Texas. I'm really looking forward to it.

In light of the two most recent sign ups, names withheld to protect the innocent, but just look at the last two posts...I thought I would share a little inside info on SECURITY:
One of the gentlemen providing security is an ex Air Force career man who was in the security forces. His job, among other things, was to secure perimeters etc. when a Senator, or VP wanted to visit the base for whatever reason. He also was in charge of security set-ups when a nuclear warhead was being moved from one spot to another. He also was security in Germany and once retired from the Air Force, worked as a police officer. I think he is currently working on plans to secure the area with drones, cameras, microphones, and will have helicopters on call from a local base LOL. Well maybe not all of that, but he will be present to provide our security along with a second off duty officer haha. So no hanky panky should occur!

We all bear some burdens in life. mine? I've got 2 1943 Gibson, Kalamazoo Gal-made, Banner Southerner Jumbos (yep, the original model designation.
One a young soldier bought in late 1943 and too to the WWII European battlefront: The other does not appear to have spent a lot of time in foxholes or being drug along the ground behind a soldier: As Tom has pointed out, I'll definitely bring the went-to-WWII guitar. If folks are interested, I can also bring the minty guitar. As for the went-to-WWII guitar, for an eventual documentary film, I'll be traveling the world with it, meeting interesting folk who will play the guitar in locations important to women's and WWII history. Here are a couple of the folks who've participated so far: This should be great fun.

Yes, please! If there are two I'll have a better chance of being able to play at least one. I imagine everyone there will want to touch this history! Thanks so much, John, for being there, and for all you do to promote and preserve these wonderful artifacts.

Tom, it's a good thing you didn't invite a couple dozen luthiers - we are going to be awfully busy with all our show and tell! The whole package is looking more and more special - I can't wait!

I have had a couple of questions regarding shipping of guitars to B.I.G. Go ahead and ship what you want to the house. We will store them for you until B.I.G. We only ask that you get a return label and pack them up before you leave so you know they are packed the way you want them, slap on the return label and Kathy and I will get them to where they need to be to send them home, ie. FedEx, UPS, or USPS, however you send them. There will be no charge for us doing that at all. Again, we just appreciate all of you coming! Thanks, Tom
