    Probably not a surprise that it broke right where that strap knob was screwed in.

    I never liked strap buttons in the neck heel, now I remember why. Great work Scott!

    I have had my D-28 for 53 years now, and although I don't like the strap wrapped around the nut, I have always resisted putting a strap button on the heel for this very reason. My brother drilled his button into the bottom of the heel of his 1972 D-35, and in over 50 years it doesn't seem to have been a problem. (he did have to make a hole for it in his case lining to make room for it)

    If my best friend did that, I'd never speak to him again. If I did it I'd never speak to myself again. Subscribed!
  • Another great save! Congratulations on your best year yet, and I'm glad my project helped contribute to it. Thanks, again, for taking on the Playtime conversion. It's a wonderful guitar. Merry Christmas, and a happy and successful 2024.

    Amazing neck reset. First time I saw the polishing fret device (I've seen the device for one fret at a time). Great stuff Scott! Merry Christmas and relax! 🎄🎶🎄
