How to inspect

I seem to recall that video being posted here before and a lot of us criticizing it and ripping it apart before too.  LOL!       Anyone else remember it?

He did have a good point about what he called the "12th fret hump", although I find it's usually centered at the 14th, where the neck meets the body. That is very common in vintage acoustics. I find it every time when doing neck resets and have to level those frets, otherwise the lowered action results in deadnotes/buzzing in that area.

RobertW,CTGull,TonyKgull,Derick, that info is all well and good unless you buy it on line- then inspecting after the fact means a return which is a hassle- the only ones I've seen in person were in a pawn shop and were way too much for a used guitar I didn't recognize the name of- I have seen a couple I would like to have seen in person from the usual suspects of used instruments, reverb, etc., but, I do wonder about the returning and getting your money back from a distant source-

Sorry Sir Derick, tusq nuts and saddles do dis-colour. I cant say  if is by sunlight, or just exposure to YouTube videos, but all my tusq is yellowed now.  That is why i had to buy aged bone bridge pins to match the tusq on my Seagull Natural Elements Amber Trail.
