You're right in that I don't have exact dates or numbers, but I do know I have seen a low 600's number, maybe twice. They do seem to blur together after a while. I get lost when searching for the tunes in a thread and basically end up reading the whole thread again. I'll see if I can scan thru and catch any higher numbers than 541. Remember where you saw that one since you've seen it already. I'm going to try to do at least one a day for awhile, but like I said it takes me a couple hours each because I try to identify original artists and then get caught up reading the comments and before long I'm grinnin'. It's been a trip thru time, 'going forward in reverse'. I didn't even realise how long I've been checking in. Damn it! Now I've got a Babs Streisand earworm:

Scattered pictures
Of the smiles we left behind
Smiles we gave to one another
For the way we were

So it's the laughter
We will remember
Whenever we remember
The way we were

For anyone that does, or is thinking about doing their own fret work: the Original Z File is about as fool proof as it gets for re crowning your leveled frets. Now you can do immaculate work with a 3 corner file, but it’s a skill that takes time to get repeatable results.

The channel in the Z File is angled in such a way that the File never comes in contact with the top of the fret. This is crucial, because if you nick the top, you have to re level all the frets; or best case, create a “fall away” if it happens to be high up the board.

There are 3 Z Files available from Stewmac. I only have the original; but I imagine the other 2 are just as awesome for their purpose. There are a few easily searchable YT vids for anyone interested in more info. Cost is roughly $100, and is well worth it if you maintain multiple guitars.

Aww, looks like the voting is closed.  I would vote for invite only.  We need to keep those kids off of our lawn!!

Kickin' butt and taking names.

Aloha!  I'm looking forward to answering any questions I can and helping to up our production game!

I am here! I need to poke around the sight a little and see what it’s all about, but I’m here
