Jim , Derick , in reference to your song, An Old Man's Advice... I like it. But, I am admittedly an old man... although I don't really feel old (most of the time). In fact, I never feel old, but I do act old

)

I digress; in reference to: I rarely give advice... what I do give is my observation(s) and opinion(s).

My song, Let The Old Man In are my opinions, gained from a life time (74 years and countin) of observing... life... I'm workin on a PhD, from the school of hard knocks, and am continuously workin on me thesis/essay summarizin some, but not nearly all, I've seen and done... and at times puttin it to music and sometimes usin someone else's music and lyrics to make my point...

It's Beautiful, This Thing We Call Life...

heaven ain't walkin streets paved with gold, hell ain't a mountain of fire, heaven is layin in my sweet baby's arms and hell is when baby aint there...

Play the hand you were dealt, forget what their rules say, you know you win, when, you live life your own way...

My Goya is fixed with a new saddle and a setup. I hope to head up to Peterborough to pick it up tomorrow.

I got my 1958 Goya M-26 back from the shop yesterday. The first guitar I ever owned was a used Goya M-26 that I bought in 1960 for $75.

Here's the re-glued bridge with a new "through saddle" made of bone. For some reason, the Levin company lacquered their bridges.

This is an old photo of the Goya when it still had the drop in plastic saddle. You can see the Fishman PRO-NEO-D01: Single coil sound-hole pickup. The owner of a shop where I taught gave me this pickup which came in a traded in guitar. It works just fine although it's passive and requires phantom power. I have Baggs pickups in my other guitars

Do you like how it sounds now? How's the tuning and intonation on it?
