FREE TRC For GS Mini Owners
« on: October 18, 2016, 02:14:23 PM »
There was a thread where someone replaced their plastic GS Mini truss rod with a wood one as an upgrade.
I looked around on the internet and from what they were offering & the $$ they want I prefer what I was able to produce my own.

The problem is, I got a little carried away (having fun) and made too many to choose from.
I have made my choices and I'm now offering the remaining 12 extras FREE to USA addresses only, one per person.
My only requirement is you post a picture of your GS Mini in this thread to validate it's for a GS Mini..
If you wish to pay something for it, just make a donation to this forum in any amount.
You'll need to PM me an address to mail it to, no name required. I can use your forum name.
You'll also need to give me a first and second choice from the picture below.


I've updated my offerings after making 6 Figured Koa TRC's today.
Top row is Koa and the first one in the second row.
They all came of the same strip of wood so they don't vary much.
The middle 3 in row 2 are Sapele and the next 4 are a light spalted wood of unknown species.
The very last one is Rosewood

Craig, I love the figure near the neck of your Koa GS Mini.
My stipulation of USA addresses only is to keep it simple and inexpensive for me.
I have one I'm mailing tonight
Maybe you know someone in the USA that I could mail it to on your behalf.

I would like to try the Rosewood.  Any of them would be fine, but I think I like the bottom right one.
Sending PM.

Thanks Woodnut

I've printed both your envelopes and will include the Koa one for Craig and the bottom right Rosewood one for Mike.
I hope you guys like them.

Hey woodnut. Second row, second from the right next to the koa one that's been taken. If not, the one at the far left same row of the Sapele. I have a SE spruce top, KOA back/ sides mini, but since the koa is taken I take the next best thing. I'll PM you my address. Thanks.

The one next to the blue "X" is figured Koa on the back of Rosewood.
Give me a day or two and I'll squirt some lacquer on the back side, that way you can use either side.
