I'd vote for the guy in the bunny suit, if Robert, Jimmy and JP were taking a vote!

1:51 - 1:55 of Pieholden Suite.

If you do it yourself, make sure your pilot hole is a smaller diameter than the strap screw, and to prevent drilling too deep wrap a piece of duct tape or electrical tape around the bit demarking your max depth. The Collings and Taylor websites have instructions for installing a strap button and both these manufacturers use bolt-on necks.

Well as soon as they nail chicken I imagine one could stick a fork in professional cycling. I guess Armstrong got out in time, just before testing caught up with his masking skills.

I've got a pretty much mint Blue's Driver I'll sell for $50 + $5 for shipping. Heck, I'll throw in the AC adapter with it (which retailed for around $20 when I bought it).

If the string is breaking at the saddle you may have a sharp edge or a groove in the saddle that needs to be remedied... or you're playing awful hard. Take it easy with the windmilling.

Frank Ford has a great tutorial with photos at this link. Stringing your guitar Where did the strings break? At the nut, the saddle or somewhere in between? If they broke at the nut add a little graphite to the slots. If they broke at the saddle, you may want to sand a little off the top. If somewhere in the middle...

It still amazes me how Messr. Armstrong could soundly whip all these guys who were/are taking performance enhancing drugs. They all had an illegal edge, yet he could beat them all, soudly, without any chemical assistance... Makes one wonder.

Sunday was a bad day for the Aussie's. McEwen, O'Grady and Rodgers. But, the Kazak's were happy!

Hopefully Rasmussen (a.k.a. Chicken Man) won't be in yellow when they get to the time trials. With that kind of pressure he might crash four times. At this point I'm going with Periero to win.

I think JT has lot's of vintage Martins; as mentioned above, there's the D-12-20 and the pre-war shade-top 000-18. I've also seen him with an 0-17, a couple 12 fret 0 or 00 18's and the natural top 000-18. Even though the Santa Cruz 000 he plays is long-scale, judging from the acoustic guitars he plays on tour it would seem he prefers short-scale guitars (Gibson J-45, L-00, Martin 0, 00, 000).

I'd look for a late 60's or early 70's Martin D-12-20. It won't depreciate. May need a neck set eventually, but that would be a small price to pay and your grandchildren will be grateful. You could probably find a nice one for ~$1,200 or a clunky one for less than a grand.

Also, what's the deal with Mikhail and his indestructability? I also wondered about Jack referencing his father like that if it was indeed a "flash forward."

Too small a box to be Hurley. Certainly isn't Kate, probably not Sawyer... Locke?

Wow! Does this mean the series moves off the island?

I hear Little Feat ("Walken"), the Beatles (especially "Birthday" on "Hate it Here") bit's of "Far, Far, Away", "Too Far Apart", and "Pieholden Suite" to name a few

Has anyone had any luck trying to figure this one out in first position D? Or maybe with a capo on 2 with a C chord? Also, has anyone seen this tune performed live? If so, was it with capo 5? Thanks! Lance

Kind of a fuzzy picture, but if it's the same one he had at Cain's in January, it's a late 30's early 40's large 'burst Gibson L-00.

I stand corrected and eat humble pie; no slip case on the Aussie version of YHF.

I'm pretty sure it came with a slip case. The only way I could tell them apart was the slight difference in coloration.

Yep. Mine came with the same slip case as the domestic version. Can't say about the UK AGIB.

You can pick up a new one at any GC for around $1,500.

The 12 string is a Martin D-12-18. It's the only 12 string I've ever seen him perform with.
