I was lucky and didn't have to buy the clamps. I glued them at my sons guitar shop and he has boxes and boxes of clamps. Chasing down a few things I still need and hope they are together very soon. Thanks!

BTW anyone ever use "Preservation Polish" from Stewart MacDonald? Man this stuff is like magic. Good stuff. No silicone in it either.

I haven't heard of Preservation Polish. Show us some before and after Preservation Polish photos, please. I'm always open to something that might work better.

Hi Lynn, will do. They also have a scratch remover. I guess these would compare to the Novus products. Luthiers like them because there's no silicone in them. If a guitar finish touch up is ever needed silicone based cleaners can make it difficult.
