Ha - I've used more of Mrs C's nail repair products than she has!

By the way, next time Jeff Beck is on your screen check out the thumbnail on his picking hand. And then recall that when he's not playing he spends his time working on the engines of his souped up cars. There's a gentleman who's spent a lot of time repairing his nails, I'll bet!

Cheers - C

Don't understand how anyone can use nails on steel string guitar, the steel wears them away to hell nylon string yes 'cos it's not as wearing, but not on steel strings.

Whoever uses their nails must have strong nails.

Moot point anyway nowadays for me as i can't fingerpick worth anything nowadays with a dystonic right hand

Exactly! That's why there's always fingernail dust on my strings and guitar surfaces
Seriously, though...my fingernails must be pretty solid as I only use my hands (nails and pads) when I play.
I'm sorry to hear about your dystonia, Gorgon...I hope it gets better and sooner rather than later.
cheers....
