Tuesday, June 27, 2006. UMGF Weekly Summary #7 Jun 26. I think I can safely say that I have reached my maximum with Select Hardwood necks. I know what you're saying; you had enough of the topic two months ago. Well either way, there's a little more information in this weeks report, but don't look for anything more soon. Some interesting maintenance issues are covered including; fading bridges, wire cutters, and tuning machine replacement. We finish up with gig bag and instructional DVD recommendations.

Monday, July 24, 2006. UMGF Weekly SUmmary # 10 Jul 17. Is a headstock break a kiss of death (since I have a good guitar that has one, I didn’t vote) but the consensus seems to be that if it’s repaired right, a headstock break needn’t be the end of your guitar. 1 MTV-2 - anyone ever played one? 2 Vintage vs Aging toner. 3 M&T help needed (16 series). 4 1940's scalloped brace Martins. 5 Headstock break - always a kiss-of-death? 6 Used pricing vs Warranty. 7 Why do we need frets? 11 Planet Waves NS Capo.

Thursday, July 20, 2006. UMGF Weekly Summary # 9 Jul 10. It’s the dog days of summer, and so we devote two pages to nail care. Nail Care? Yep, that’s what it’s all about. There’s also some interesting – though not definitive - information about the intricacies of Custom Shop ordering (it’s kind of the dark science of guitar buying), alternate tunings, and finding a good instructor. If you’re going to MartinFest, don’t forget to send in your details for the Attendee Directory. B]1 Martins and Movies?
