I hate when my nut slot is the wrong depth.

Like my dad used to say “These jeans remind me of a cheap hotel — no ballroom!”

Little tricks like this are good.

I rebuilt the bridge on my 5 string banjo just yesterday. After I finished it, I realized I could have customized it/made it more fancy. Right now the action is perfect and fun to play slide on. Maybe next time I change the strings...

If bass guitarists are allowed, that is.

I would sign up. Just changed some strings today and the peg came flying out, hit the ceiling, and landed in the garbage can! This was the B string on an acoustic I just acquired. Haha!

I thought for sure that sodpoodle was behind this thread, and that I would get a chuckle from it.
