I just picked up a used Wildwood. Some say it is an early Troubador with resonator. I'm in love with it! It has a funky phillips screw for the 5th string nut, I want to contact the maker and see if i can get a replacement part. The fifth string spikes look sloppy, but thye seem secure. What a beauty!! I don't find a way to attach pictures here.

I am recently retired and returing to a world of music. I played 3 finger style way back in high school, so I have a lot of brushing up to to! I also want to be able to do some clawhammer tunes eventually.
