I've read that some folks replaced the bridge on their Superior Weiss with a metal one. What are the advantages, tonal differances, etc? Also, does anyone know if the nut is bone or plastic?

Thanks

The Beard is somewhat tricky and for me takes two hands to change. I have the original Scheerhorn Flux and it's a breeze to swap.

Russ, thanks. I've seen the Johnson tricone at Elderly's site and am somewhat interested. Do you have any first hand experience with it?

Howard, the Beard was where I looked first since I have a ve ...

I'm looking for an inexpensive (re:cheap) metal body squareneck. Any recommendations?

I have a b/w 6 string Rick lap with 1 1/4" pup. The tone and volume pot do not work properly. Where can I get replacements, and do you know if it would have a negative effect on the tone?

Also, the ...

Nice Oahu acoustic square neck lap guitar; email for pics.

I am evaluating one of these (select spruce top)and a couple of things concern me.

First of all is the string spacing. I've read the other emails here about that so I suppose it can be fixed, but I' ...

Care to translate, Bernard?

Anyone selling these yet?

Thanks for all the responses. For now I'm keeping the lap in G because I play it out in a club with some friends and I'm still more comfortable with G. But maybe not for long. I have an Oahu acoust ...

Steinar,

I am also considering one of Neil Russell's weissenborn copies. Did you order the mahogony or koa?

Terry

Steinar,

How do you like your Superior?

Terry

Russ, the Oahu is no better or worse than the MasterTone which is good, I guess, because it cost half of what the MasterTone did. In all, it's a quiet instrument without a lot of sustain. It has its ...

I searched the forum for info on a Neil Russell weis copy and found a few posts. Any additional comments would be welcomed.

For $925 US, it looks like a pretty good deal, but I've never seen (or hea ...

Thanks all for the links and the soundfiles you sent me.
