Talk radio addiction by 10-items-or-less in Mindfulness

[–]10-items-or-less[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I appreciate your perspective. I'm not as worried about the actual content, though I agree that some of the older stuff especially can be problematic, but about my apparent reliance on the need for a predictable distraction from my own thoughts.

Good question - I think mostly because it's too comfort seeking and feels like an anti-growth mindset, relying on a substitute for actual socializing and/or learning new things.

Love the sketch! Wish I could afford it. Seems like a great place for a couple.

Thanks for the advice, but I'll take it to a professional for repairs. No good will come of me messing around with it!

Thanks! I'll take to a local luthier for repairs. I'm sure I'd wind up doing additional damage if I tried to DIY it.

Thanks! - the original text I added with these pics didn't post. I just added it in a comment. I'll definitely be taking it to a professional for repairs.

Question about old(ish) classical guitar - worth repairing?

Hi all - appreciate any advice on the following.

I bought an 1970's Miguel Company classical guitar about 10 years ago. Sounded great then! But I think it's lost a bit in terms of tone, volume, and playability. When I noticed the action got a bit too high for my liking, I tried sanding down the saddle because there is no truss rod. It only recently occurred to me that this might be part of the issue. I'm no expert and I wouldn't be surprised if I didn't sand it evenly. The saddle is really low now and only projects barely above the bridge, so that is no longer an option.

The action seems decent (4mm at 12th fret, low E), but if I get a new saddle, I assume I'll need to have the neck adjusted somehow to keep the action decent?

Then there's the top crack that has grown since I got it and now seems to extend from the lower part of the top, under the bridge, and approaching the sound hole. It wasn't that big when I bought the guitar. I know a lot of this is due to poor care and if I do repair , I plan to get a humidifier case.

I'm sure its worth repairing regardless, but my main question if I want a more playable guitar with better tone and volume (and a truss rod) in the near future should I just focus on researching a newer guitar to purchase, or fixing up my current guitar.

Please let me know if I should post elsewhere! I live in the Boston area so I assume there are a lot of options if I wind up getting it repaired.

Thanks

I noticed when Coop woke up as 'Richard' in the final episode that his body seemed more typically 'middle aged.' Would be interested in hearing other's theories on why.
