Does anyone know the years that Vega went from a dowel stick to twin metal coordinating rods? Also, when did they switch from 28 to 24 brackets? I have a '60 that is 28/dowel and a '64 that is 24/metal rods. Really happy to be in this group!! :)

	kwfolk1 says: 4/2/2017 7:21:33 AM John, I'm curious. How does your Martin-made Vega compare with the Deering-made Vega?
	john bange says: 4/2/2017 8:15:33 AM the neck width at the nut 1 1/4Deering and 1 3/16 was the only adjustment...little brighter than the Deering but that's the Vegalon head which I had planned to change...still might but I'm growing used to it.

MP3: What Would The Prophets Say? Linked by jbakervt 2 years ago: The religious basis of authority in the Middle East (or anywhere for that matter) is the source of a lot of suffering and is unsustainable. The violence is mostly perpetrated on women and children.
MP3: You'll Never Leave Texas Alive Linked by jbakervt 2 years ago: A sad murder ballad of a sort. Some murderers wear nice clothes and use pens and paper to kill and never see their victims.
MP3: Ten Years On Linked by jbakervt 2 years ago: A lament, written for the 10th anniversary of the Sandy Hook school shooting. Sadly there are still parents who are irresponsible or foolish, and parents who suffer as a result.
MP3: Shutdown The System Linked by jbakervt 2 years ago: The pursuit of money is alienating, enervating, and exhausting. Here’s a song of resistance to finance capitalism.
MP3: Take The Wheel Linked by jbakervt 2 years ago: A song about mentorship, inspired by my mentor and HIS mentors too, that takes the form of the story of a ship’s mate being “shown the ropes”. The old sea captain may also have been a long-neck player
