I've been putting off changing the strings on my Telly for the last
three weeks. Thanks to you guys, I'm running out to the local music
store and getting it done today!

Do any of you have experience with some of the handmade guitars from
Hawaii that are made for the slack key players? My older brother is
associated with some of those guys (Makana, Keola Beamer, etc.), and
I've heard these guitars and think they're nearly unmatched in terms
of craftsmanship and sound quality. Some like the Grimes have two
openings in the body for an amazingly full and authoritative sound.
My brother has a guitar made by one of the masters (I can never
remember the name), and he had to wait two years for it to be made.
I've played it a couple of times, but I always get nervous about
holding it. It's like being told to dust the Mona Lisa.

I'm not familiar with those guitars in general, but I am familiar with
the style. Look up Fran Guidry from the SF Bay area, a friend, who is a
leading mainlander supporter and player of the style.
