    Hey Soul Man, welcome to the board!

    Here's the quick run down:

    Alan is the 'go to' guy / genius that will most probably answer just about any question you have. And that's a good thing - he's already paid the school fees but doesn't mind sharing his amazing knowledge. ?

    Pics of you gear are compulsory and should be in high resolution... ?

    oh, and ignore anything Norio says... he doesn't have much weight round here... (JK, Norio! hehehehe!)


    have fun here bud!
      Yup, welcome to the board. Pics are always nice, but ignore what Spyke says - all the puberty-type hormones are messing with his brain. ?
        Welcome to the forum.

        We are finally getting bass players to join!!!!
          Welcome to the forum! Im also kind of newish here... This is probably the most active guitar forum in SA, so you've come to the right place.
            Howzit dude, welcome to the forum. Where are you from ?
              I live in Fairlands in Johannesburg. Only been in joburg for a year now. Will post pic's of the guitars soon.

              Who know were i can maybe find a bridge for the EKO. I want to get it in working order but just as a show pice.
                Hmm alan should be able to help. Most music shops in jozi are useless!
                  The Florentine used a hybrid floating archtop bridge, with a metal top and plastic roller saddles. It also had a metal cover over it, although most players seemed to remove it.

                  A modern hybrid something like this should work and will cost you under R250 to get. You would have to fit it, which is easy if you know the "trick" to radius the wooden bottom to fit the top of the guitar properly.

                  Here's the pic:


                    That is what i am looking for. will just get the rest of the parts out of about 100 boxes in the store room and then we will rebuild it
