My basic plan is to slowly stock an inventory of parts,tools and accessories, this town desperately needs a good vendor for quality parts, strings, etc... Slowly being the key word. Until i get enough to open up i am happy to research and learn what i can. I will definately see an accountant within ...

No, that didn't throw me off at all. I know how running a buisness can be, ive run a restaurant with 15-19 year old staff, compared to that i feel this will be a breeze lol. No in all seriousness, i will grab every opportunity to become better and soak it up like a sponge. This is a must for me, gui...

Ok, thanks! Alot to swallow but i think i better take her in for a re-fret, im not that confident yet. Usually i use a straight file but read online the radius block was best.
