I had the same problem. Newer versions of the bulletin board software that Djangobooks uses, seem to not support whitespace (other special characters as well) in usernames. So, whenever you see a space in a username and would like to see the user profile then replace the space with a '+' sign.

Or you can ask @MichaelHorowitz to remove all spaces and special characters in your username.
Sorry, I’ve been traveling so I hadn’t checked back here. I don’t seem to get the email notifications I used to get if someone commented. In any case, the DiMauro is sold! Thanks!
Hope the new owner will be able to spring for a new neck if that is what is required. Congrats on selling it and hope it found a great new home.
Thanks, @rudolfochrist , I have put in a request to change my user name. The DiMauro is on its way to Paul up in Portland, ME. I hope he can salvage the neck & fingerboard, it's a great feel for rhythm playing.
Hello all
I thought you might want to check out the repair I did on the neck. Since it had been repaired a few times I wanted to do my best to make this the last one. I drew up a plug in my design program and used my CNC to make both the plug and a routing jig to route the plug. I made a tapered plug to minimize the amount of end grain to end grain contact. I was lucky that there was no truss rod because I could sink the plug pretty deep into the neck. Then I did a similar thing on the side with two tapered wedges.
It seems to be pretty darn solid. Not invisible but I don't think that would have been possible. The guitar sounds great and I'm thankful to Andrew for selling it to me.
There's an album of pictures here:

That's an amazing job in a short amount of time!
Hey thanks for letting us know. You're very creative thinker.

50% stolen ideas -> 50 % creative thinker (which is quite a lot).
I'm glad you were able to do the repair while preserving the entire headstock. A more traditional repair may have entailed replacing the headstock (or neck!), or inserting a significantly large piece of new wood joining the neck and existing headstock. Kudos on a nice fix - I'm jealous, I loved that guitar, but it's good that someone with more skills than I will be playing it.
