Hi everyone,

I just wanted to invite all you Chuck Lee fans to have a look at a recent video I uploaded. I'm playing my Marble Falls, which, is my favorite CL model. Here is a link:

I was thinking about selling my Lone Star Deluxe, so I made a demo video. I have shelved that idea for now. But here is a link to that video if you want to watch it.

And lastly my Glen Rose, such a beautiful instrument. My only issue was a slight buzzing on fourth string at the 5th to 7th fret. I repositioned the neck a little and used a 11/16" moon bridge. Now I hardly notice it. Here's a sample of the way she sounds.

I thought that since I joined this group, why not contribute something.

Thank you for your time

All the Best, Jeff

It's a short scale which I like to tune to G or C, rather than A or D since I prefer lower tunings; but I like the short scale. I'm having the action lowered a bit through nut adjustment to minimize going sharp on fretting. Anyone else with this situation? I'm also considering going to heavier strings.
	Jeff Osborne says: 10/16/2013 11:12:10 PM Hi All, Just to follow up. Chuck contacted me very quickly after I posted the problem with the Glen Rose. He offered his services to fix it or talked me through a set up. What a guy. I've said before and I say it again that my "bucket list" includes a trip to Ovilla just to shake his hand.
