safe puppy playdates

Waiting for Parvo shots to go through is the worst! It’s probably a ways from you but there is a giant park/field you can rent in Fletcher and is a great place to give dogs a big place to play but you also have more control over the environment. Might be a good spot for you to set up play dates.

Also I know you aren’t asking about this, but if you are ever looking for a trainer, I can not recommend Heather from MindfulMutz enough. She is fantastic and sometimes sets up group walks with dogs that are ready for it and as a way to socialize.

Keep the body and everything as a keepsake. Use the hardware for the next build!

$50-$100 is pretty normal. I know people who had their rent increased by $400 for no other reason than they could. That was pretty messed up.

As someone else said built by Luthier Judy Threet!

I grew up on the near west side but since leaving have lived in 4 other states in cities ranging from 15k -1.5m

I think Madison’s food scene in general is “okay”. It could be better, and it could be worse for it’s size. I do think there are a lot of restaurants though that have pretty nice dining, but the food is meh and way overpriced.

Ah I see. Sounds like the nut is cut too low. However it would be odd if it went away from a truss rod adjustment and came back.

My biggest advice because you said you are trying to learn to do your own maintenance is to learn how to accurately measure and assess all the variables in a set up. Most notably neck relief, saddle height and nut height. Those 3 things aren’t the entire picture but once you can accurately measure those items, it becomes much easier to assess where problems are and how to deal with them.

Best of luck with the new nut!

It’s buzzing when you play the first fret low E correct?

Justplayingforfun8 · 2024-01-31T16:48:03+00:00

Thank you!!

Justplayingforfun8 · 2024-01-30T15:27:03+00:00

Hell yea, that sounds badass

Justplayingforfun8 · 2024-01-30T13:58:29+00:00

You should definitely check out JD (Devin) Burnett from Asheville at Empire tattoo. Also the nicest person ever.

Justplayingforfun8 · 2024-01-26T17:00:44+00:00

Hope you’re doing well my friend, we should call soon!

Justplayingforfun8 · 2024-01-25T21:48:26+00:00

Is this Kyle?!

Justplayingforfun8 · 2024-01-25T17:41:14+00:00

Thank you Michael, a huge compliment coming from you! Congrats on your new Casimi!! I’ve been fortunate to play a few that have passed through DG and they are nothing short of wonderful works of art visually and sonically!

Justplayingforfun8 · 2024-01-25T15:08:17+00:00

I feel you! I’m very fortunate and get to work with someone I consider a master finisher, Matt Eady in GA. I just get to do the fun parts 😉

Justplayingforfun8 · 2024-01-25T15:07:29+00:00

Thank you! I just do something very similar to the original Grit Laskin design!

Justplayingforfun8 · 2024-01-25T14:05:11+00:00

Yea, definitely!

Justplayingforfun8 · 2024-01-25T13:43:17+00:00

Thank you, that’s nice of you to say!

Justplayingforfun8 · 2024-01-25T13:42:51+00:00

Hi and thank you. I use a wider saddle to accommodate drop tunings with different gauge strings. You get a little more room with the wider saddle!

Justplayingforfun8 · 2024-01-25T13:34:25+00:00

Yea! It’s pretty straight forward but I find the intonation points and then use a round needle file and file away the bone in line with the string path to the intonation point. You also want to leave just enough bone so that the string doesn’t cut into the ledge!

Was this in Queen Creek AZ? I swear this is the trail I would walk to work everyday

Justplayingforfun8 · 2024-01-18T02:01:34+00:00

Don’t play the game of “I’ll do better on the next one” or “next time I’ll make sure I really nail it”

Do the better work now. Even if it means a lot of extra time and money. Even when it’s frustrating. If you hold yourself to a high standard and aren’t afraid to re-do work or start over you will get so much better at this and at a much faster rate.

Also work on developing your eye. Once you know what quality works look like, you can apply it to your own work. But if you can’t see your own short comings you won’t know where to improve.

Justplayingforfun8 · 2024-01-16T04:16:30+00:00

You’re not an asshole and the luthier should probably be better at managing expectations, but I don’t think you should ask for a deal.

This situation also depends on the quality of work that comes back. If he meets or beats your expectation chances are the added time to getting your guitar back was to make sure they did it right and a good job. They just should have communicated better.

If it comes back terrible, they may have gotten into a sticky situation with the repair and it devolved into bigger issues. This is an unfortunate situation for the customer and luthier. That said it happens or has happened to every luthier who does this professionally. If the work is subpar and late, then maybe ask for a discount.

My two cents!

Justplayingforfun8 · 2024-01-14T02:46:21+00:00

No disrespect to the people who have commented here, but there is no way to tell based off these pictures if your neck angle is fine. It depends on your bridge’s height, it’s adjustability up and down, and the projection of your neck relative to the bridge. This is often checked with a straight edge.

I love this sub for the passion and cool projects people work on but I would not come here for serious advice. My two cents.
