Hey Daniel, thanks for the info. This is exactly what I'm looking for.

Hey y'all, I've got a left handed Simmons S-10 that I'll need to take on tour this year and I'm looking for an all-in-one rolling flight case that will protect the body of the instrument as well as fit the hardware. I've looked through old SGF threads about cases but a lot of the links are broken/de...

Appreciate all the info. Thanks for sharing those charts too, Scott.

Hey y'all,

Forgive me, as I'm sure this has been discussed before.

Hey Bill, thanks for letting me know. I'll definitely be in touch in the future.

Perfect. Found them. Thanks for the help.

Hey y'all, Does anyone know where to find sets of spare .11 or .12 gauge G# strings? Is it possible to buy them in packs of 5-10 to keep around? I tend to break that 3rd string more often than all the others and would love to find a way to replace just the broken string, rather than buying/opening a...
