Try any auto parts store. The only other thing you could do is buff it on a wheel. That will make it look brand new. http://www.travisbeanguitars.com/index.php/ID/7a7f6192626a0e1ad997c175626bae12/thread/Clean-your-Bean/fuseaction/forum.view.htm#06e05f263c0f9ce87c291a94788847be http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/TravisbeanguitarscomBoard-GeneralDiscussionRssFeed/~3/zz02ss1QpE0/forum.view.htm http://www.travisbeanguitars.com/index.php/ID/0295966266f827e530f149f4fb077fb4/thread/Sonic-Youth-Bean/fuseaction/forum.view.htm#9c6746ae9f072045e5d9f54a91681816 3rdparty Thanks for posting.

I don't know what his favorites are lately, but his website (Steve Vai Official Website) shows a new Ibanez Jemini.

S. Stewart's "Banjo And Guitar Journal" of October and November 1896. Stewart was the largest manufacturer of banjos, the most popular instrument in America of that era (this history is pretty essential to understand the history of 20th century guitar building, but hardly anybody pays any attention to it anymore!). This was a time of great technological explosion, and ideas about innovation were a big deal. Stewart really liked himself a lot, and enjoyed trying to take his imitators down a notch or two. The rest of his Journals are a really fun read too. The Aluminum Fallacy The craze for aluminum, the metal extracted from clay, started off like a rocket a few years ago, with a vast amount of imagination mixed with fact. Aluminum was to be used for the hulls of ships, for shoeing horses, for plugging teeth, for cooking utensils, for air balloons, for bicycles, and also for almost every kind of musical instruments. Aluminum banjos were tried and proved a failure. Aluminum banjo hoops and brackets also proved a fizzle, like the same metal for shoeing horses. Now, some enterprising inventor proposes to give us aluminum mandolins, drums, and possibly guitars and violins. "Claim everything," is the motto of the aluminum votary. So the aluminum workers claimed everything, even that the soft metal was better than wood, harder than steel and better in all respects than anything else on earth. One musical instrument manufacturer even goes so far as to claim that his aluminum bag pipes will not be affected by damp weather at the sea shore. We always supposed that dampness and humidity affected all musical sounds, and we are inclined to believe that this claim is much on the order of the claim put forth on the old patent closed back banjo, that it would sound as well in damp weather as in clear weather. Now, if they had said that it sounded as badly in clear weather as in damp weather, they would have come nearer to it. Aluminum, like everything else, has its uses, but it is not a universal cure all. It has its disadvantages, like the celluloid mandolins, and collars and cuffs of that material. Drop a light on them and they go up in smoke. Your aluminum drums will not stand much salt water, and their future will proved the fallacy of attempting to realize a dream of aluminum violins. Wood with proper seasoning, and with the grain well filled, will never give way to any metal extracted from clay. Better let the free silver shouters have it. http://www.travisbeanguitars.com/index.php/ID/4cc98dd741664e6b380adfd970b0df89/thread/The-Aluminum-Fallacy/fuseaction/forum.view.htm#4cc98dd741664e6b380adfd970b0df89 http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/TravisbeanguitarscomBoard-GeneralDiscussionRssFeed/~3/iCQuVwmignA/forum.view.htm http://www.travisbeanguitars.com/index.php/ID/ce84ffe10d918af6ad287bdb4b471e3a/thread/Twitter-account-hacked/fuseaction/forum.view.htm#33335d8ff75d10eeecd79991c03f06a5 Hello sam1716 Nope.. not hacked.

I was banging the drum about falling prices back then. I think things have leveled off and are actually on the upswing. The only thing I have noticed is that "average" artists are are not getting "artist" prices. I would take a great looking standard over a poor artist any day and I think prices are reflecting that. I also do not feel that ebay is a good representation of the Bean market. It probably only represents 25% of all legit bean transactions. Fenders and Gibson loosing their value has nothing to do with Beans. Those guitars have bean overpriced for 15 years. There are only about 3000 vintage beans out there compared to 30,000 vintage gibson and fenders that compare in desirability. http://www.travisbeanguitars.com/index.php/ID/9b03b7af35a67e746d82202082e3e5e2/thread/TB-Market-Value/fuseaction/forum.view.htm#14e29140dfff7c754afdfe06be3ba1b5
