@tv101 Ebony polish is what I use on violin fingerboard. It’s a brand called Old Wood and you don’t need much.

I’m not sure if there is a definitive answer to this question, but as far as I know Dreadnought and Jumbo models are better for flat picking. I play finger style myself so I’ve often thought that a 12...

@kevin-turvey Try this place Attachment : 35696E98-2765-4A25-8304-6C6CA26A9CE5.png

Kevin Which country do you live in. I have a supplier in Germany that is easier than America if you are in the U.K.

@bpower Looks like one of those real twangy bluegrass models

@frocesterbill Looks good

@koendb We can arrange something this weekend if you are free. Arrange a time on messenger.
