Did you pay your dues? I can log in. Their certificate expired yesterday according to my browser. Things might work better after they fix that. |

I renewed back in 2018, I think - for one year. Was very disappointed it wasn't the vibrant and innovative publication it had been back when it started. Now it's tired old stuff (remember, I've been doing repairs since 1977). I wrote a bunch of stuff for Stringed Instrument Craftsman in the late 80's, and all those articles were purchased by Guitarmaker magazine. I'd like to get permission to make copies of my work to send out to younger guys needing info that is still relevant, and I'd like to get new copies for my files. I stupidly gave away many of my originals to other luthiers in the 90's to help them. What I have now is a few items here and there purchased online, and a few photocopies made from other people's files. Before anyone gets wound up about copyrights - the author (ME) is allowed to distribute the publications, while the copyright publisher still retains the right to make money with them (if they can). It gripes me that this still relevant information from the past disappeared down the memory hole. Dan Erlewine referenced my articles on vibrato systems when his book was first published. I don't know if he still does - this was before he was aligned with StewMac. I think Guitar Player Magazine published his book before anyone else did. By the way, Stringed Instrument Craftsman was published a couple years by Guitar Player Magazine - if anyone from the Stone Age recalls..... |

Chris, I've got SICs #1 thru #14 except #4. I subscribed back then. It was before any repairing or building for me but they gave me the interest to try it out. You had the lead off article in #1 titled "Balancing Act: Strat-style Vibratos." Once in a while I think about listing them in the Classifieds and then I open one up and read it all over again. ![[:Y:]](./images/smilies/smiley20.gif "Thumbs Up")

Carl - I hope you find them helpful or influential in a good way. As I remember - #4 had something else I wrote, but it wasn't about whammy systems. Also, my partner in crime - Mike Metz of Thesis Audio Service, wrote some excellent stuff for SIC about working on guitar electronics (not my strong suit). I don't recall which articles by Mike were featured in SIC, but there was a number of them before he started writing for Craig Anderton's magazine about electronic music. |
