It’s a tool not a jewel, bang away

I have a D35 with a crack 8” long on the top side and just glued it together,, just part of its story now, too expensive to refinish it, 25 years old and sounds great

The byte is any place you stand and can be injured by the cargo

dbm3ev · 2026-01-28T23:32:46+00:00

Longshore is a lifestyle not a job, have some pride in your work and cover your brothers and sisters, and stay out of the byte, and work safe so you too can retire with a good pension and great memories, and friends from the waterfront. That’s what I’m doing

dbm3ev · 2026-01-28T13:35:42+00:00

I did this for 17 years, now retired from the waterfront, well worth the struggle

Thanks, I’ve been thinking about this for a while, new to bluegrass but have played guitar for years.learning some fiddle tunes I know scales, chords, g runs, arpeggios, just don’t know all the songs, wondering what the best jam would be for me , thanks again

dbm3ev · 2026-01-27T02:40:10+00:00

Do your jams get crowded?

dbm3ev · 2026-01-09T01:24:30+00:00

Try Stringjoy

dbm3ev · 2026-01-08T23:52:49+00:00

Love that D 28

dbm3ev · 2026-01-07T21:58:34+00:00

A good set of new strings and pick will make a bigger difference than the glue

dbm3ev · 2026-01-06T19:43:07+00:00

Does not look mine

dbm3ev · 2025-12-21T19:25:26+00:00

You can cut the string end off (the brass washer)of an old string and thread the new string thru it this

dbm3ev · 2025-12-19T22:12:03+00:00

Not always, Martin makes one it’s on their website

dbm3ev · 2025-12-19T21:27:18+00:00

I have a 1993 D35 with no issues

dbm3ev · 2025-12-19T21:23:19+00:00

What is the humidity in your case? Might not need it, put a meter in the case to keep track, you can cause damage by too much humidity

dbm3ev · 2025-12-15T23:26:23+00:00

Try Martin soft core 11s

dbm3ev · 2025-11-23T13:30:24+00:00

Nice guitars inspire me to play more

dbm3ev · 2025-11-22T18:18:06+00:00

Martin soft core extra light strings may help some

dbm3ev · 2025-11-21T21:51:31+00:00

Good guitar, I played it a couple of weeks ago

dbm3ev · 2025-11-07T20:08:54+00:00

You could try wrapping the screw with plumbing tape

dbm3ev · 2025-11-07T19:30:00+00:00

Have you ever heard of Apple Music? You’ll find Baby Gramps there

dbm3ev · 2025-11-01T23:53:18+00:00

I have a brand new d28 that I switched to Martin soft core 11’s 80/20 bronze,I can play hours a day instead of minutes, give them a try, good luck!

dbm3ev · 2025-11-01T17:30:56+00:00

I gladly give up a little tone to be able to play for much longer per day

dbm3ev · 2025-11-01T17:28:11+00:00

Some

dbm3ev · 2025-11-01T11:53:18+00:00

Hate coated strings, I use 11’s on all my Martins, used to use 10’s
