Hi Don from my point of view I'd get the DVD's from Jimmy Heffernan. Then get Homespun tapes by Ickes, Phillips, Cashdollar and Douglas.

Hi Richard I'd like to ask you question about the nut on your Century 6. The nut on my Century 10 appears to have a lot of grooves as if someone was trying to find the best position/width for the strings. I'm assuming that this was one of the previous owners and not Gibson's doing. Is this assumptio...

Oh and hi to everyone as this is my first post and I ...
