Dear Robin Banks,

I believe the correct spelling is i 'dohbran although I stand to be corrected on this.

No, you don't need to worry, you need not purchase a bargepole. A bargepole is, in fact, the precision instrument that Mr Amos Quito used to fashion the "jack socket" in your guitar and it is also possible, given his level of expertise, that he used it also in the fashioning of your cutaway.

I am so pleased to hear that you have mounted your guitar successfully on your wall despite the presence of the annoying metal rod. You are very wise to have taken the precaution of wearing glasses to protect your eyes.

Your displayed instrument must indeed be a joy to you and a source of inspiration to all!

Yours sincerely,

Dr. Guitar
