HEY---- READ THIS-------
This was in the NY Times June 1st :
"....About 3,500 cases of button cell battery ingestion are reported
annually to poison control centers. But while swallowing batteries has
occurred for years, the development of larger, stronger lithium cell batteries has
increased the risk of severe complications.
Data from the National Capital Poison Center in Washington found a
sevenfold increase in severe complications from button cell ingestions in recent
years. Moderate to severe cases have risen from less than a half percent (about
a dozen cases per year) to about 3 percent (nearly 100 cases per year),
based on a review of 56,000 cases since 1985.
Among the serious complications, the chemical reaction triggered by the
batteries can damage vocal cords, leaving children with a lifelong whisper.
Damage to the gastrointestinal tract means some children require feeding tubes
and multiple surgeries. “The injuries are so much more serious,” said Dr.
Toby Litovitz, director and lead author of both articles in Pediatrics. “It’
s like drain opener or lye. It’s not something you want in the esophagus of
your child.”
The batteries that pose the greatest risk are those that begin with the
number 20, which stands for 20 millimeters. They are larger and stronger than
older models. Batteries numbered 2032, 2025 and 2016 are responsible for more
than 90 percent of serious injuries."
These batteries are in many small devices, remote controllers etc,
but also in the latest electronic Guitar Tuners which are sold everywhere-
so check your batteries and keep them away from the small kids

Before After .....
We often get asked "where do these guitars come from" ??? or "who buys these things" ??
So here's an interesting picture of the quite rare White ES-345 (that we had for sale for about a year)
with both it's original ( c. 1964), and current (April'06) owners.
-------------------------o-------------------------
IF YOU HAVE TROUBLE VIEWING THESE PHOTOS, SEE BELOW
Some have complained about bad pictures. If this is happening to you or your PC, let me know. We have Macs
and the pictures are large and clear, so we'd like to know figure out why this problem is happening
An answer from my brother Rick-
By default, Internet Explorer will shrink pictures to fit onto one screen.
That's probably what people are complaining about. Usually, if they hold the
cursor over the picture for a few seconds, a button will appear and they can
click it to restore the pic to full size. I hate the feature, so I just turn
it off and always see the photos full-size:
From the IE menu bar, click Tools | Internet Options
Click the Advanced tab
Scroll down to the Multimedia section
Remove the check from "Enable Automatic Image Resizing"
Click OK to save settings
REPAIRS
For you who don't know, we do all manner of guitar repair and restoration. We do most of it here but
also give work to Dom Ramos (repairing and building since working in Dan Armstrong's shop in the '60s,
Dom is Mr. Miracle), Steve Sauve in Massachusetts, trained by the best Jimmy Millenchuk, who also
does work on Les Paul's guitars, Sting's, and Bucky Pizzarelli's who are the best at what they do.
All repairmen no matter how good they are at one thing, won't necessarily want to do all aspects of
repairs so we assign the tasks to the best available guy, or gal. We've also been a Martin Warrantee
Center since 1985 before Martin closed down all 5 NJ Centers because of a tax dispute between NJ and Martin
Wes Montgomery on Practicing:
“I never practice my guitar… from time to time I just open the case and throw in a piece of raw meat.”
