Saturday it is.

Is your band playing on Thursday?

I'm going to try. It all depends on how much work I have. If I can get away with missing a day, I'm driving up.

I'll have to see if I can avoid working the next day.

I'm good with or without the frame.

Thanks! I figured doing something like would work, but I wanted to ask first so I didn't fuck anything up.

The area does have a slight taper to it.

That's no fun.

It's the one that's in the neck. It looks like a hole was drilled and the tuning peg was shoved in.

A friend of mine has a banjo and the tuning peg that is set in the neck is loose. The poor thing can even be tuned. How is something like this best handled?

Does anyone have experience with something like this?
