Does your guitar sound as good as you remember, or as good as you would like (be reasonable here...)? Has it gotten harder to play? Is it buzzing? Does it look as good as it used to? There are many simple things that can be done to acoustic and electric guitars to make them work better. You can do some of these things yourself, or you can take the instrument to a qualified repair person if the work is beyond your abilities or if tinkering is not your forte. Lots of people start small (changing strings correctly, polishing the finish, lubricating tuners, etc.) and work their way up (removing scratches & dents; adjusting the neck, saddle or nut; installing new tuners...). Some people go so far as doing fret work, replacing a beyond. Sound scary? Good - you need to respect your limits. However, even if you end up taking your axe in to a real luthier or guitar tech, it doesn't hurt to know the lingo and to know what to ask for. Most luthiers respect that in a customer, as long as we remember who the expert is. This forum is here to try and answer your questions about your guitar's tone, looks, and playability. I have learned things through trial and error, conversations with pros, observation, and internet luthiery forums. Maybe I can help with your guitar issues. -Tom
