Hey everyone. Short notice, but I'm finishing up a new DVD tomorrow morning and I was going to hold a drawing for a free DVD like last time.

The video is on gluing the bridge on the body after finish. I'll have a trailer ready to go in the AM, and the video itself will be ready to go Tueday morning. So I'm going to draw a winner of a free DVD tomorrow at 5pm CST or there about. To enter all you have to do is send me an email with your name to johnm@mayesguitars.com and if you win I'll notify you and send you a free DVD. Simple!

So send your emails to me and good luck!

haha.. Glad you all got a chuckle from the trailer. I thought it was funny... well as funny as a short trailer for a instructional video can be. That's not saying much though I suppose.

Hope people will get some use from the video. It might seem like just gluing on a piece of wood is simple and straightforward, but to do it cleanly, and accurately like what is required can take some know how! For a long time I was always intimidated by the procedure. I mean you have to located the bridge so specifically, and then it has to be seamless. It's not easy! So I hope the video helps some people out.

And while I'm at it check out my other videos, or heck buy the whole stinking set :P

That's what I get for not logging on the forum for several days......... Missed out an a chance to win :(

Guess I will have to buy one to compliment the Mayes collection I already have!

John, Do you take visitors sometimes? Bartlesville is not too far from Norman.
