My guess is you have a G series. Am I right? If so just take off the strings, pull out the saddles and you'll see thers spacers down there. Just play with the spacers until it's low with no buzzing.

yes it is a g series thanks for the info!

hey guys i have a takamine and am unhappy with the action (mostly toward the bridge end of the neck) does any one have any tips on lowering the action by cutting down the bridge. ooo ya and it has a two part bridge if that makes a differance in what i should do.

thanks for the link. it was a big help!!!!!!!

hey guy's how would i do something like this!

roxy

hey guys would any of these lamps be good for curing finishes?

electric heating

Stain works better on open grained woods. You need a dye for actual penetration into the fibres between the grain. I've used Minwax red mahogany stain on mahogany and it just made a covering overall. But when sanded back the stain remaining in the low spots enhanced the overall grain pattern. That is, more contrast between light and dark.

thanks. i thought that might be the case. wish i would have found this site a week ago. hey i don't know if you have ever looked at the roxy gallery but i was wondering how they do that transparent blue finish. thats kinda what i wont to do but in a black.

hey guy's i am new to finishing guitars. never really finished anything at all. i sanded the body of an old guitar and was wanting to stain it went to lowes and got some stain. stained the guitar but the stain didn't really take. it more or less just set on top of the wood more like paint than stain. it is an oil based stain and i was wondering what the deal was. i wouldn't be so bad but it didnt really dry very even. i have already stripped the guitar again and was wondering if any one know of any good stains. i was trying to stain the guitar a dark ebony but don't really want to hide the grain of the wood.

hi guys i am new to this site. never refinished anything b4. i was looking to stain my guitar a darker black to ebony but still want to be able to se the grain patterns in the wood. n e one know n e good brands or types.
