A thesis statement is usually explained in one sentence and appears at the end of the introductory paragraph. It must limit your subject in a single idea and emphasize something significant and specific about your topic. A thesis statement should not be a general statement of the fact; it must be incredibly focused. An effective thesis statement is specifically describing the topic you have addressed, and explain your goal and claim about the topic.
Characteristics of Effective thesis statement
• An effective thesis statement is directly answering the questions of the assignment.
• It discusses only one subject instead of many.
• A strong thesis statement joins the paper by describing the most specific point of view of the writer on the topic.
• It usually forecasts the content of the essay.
• A strong thesis statement usually evolves as the thesis progresses.
• A good thesis statement serves as a planning tool and assists the writers to determine the proper focus and clarify the relationship between ideas.
• It keeps the reader focused and engaged in the arguments and helps them to spot out the main ideas.
• It tells the reader about the purpose, scope and direction of the paper.
• A good thesis statement identifies the relationship between the evidences, which you have used to support your argument.
• It can appear anywhere in the paper but should have a good reason of placement.
• A strong thesis statement makes a claim that requires analysis to support and evolve it.
Characteristics of ineffective thesis statement
• The thesis statement worded as a question and incomplete.
• An ineffective thesis statement is always broad and too vague.
• The statement contains many dissimilar ideas and does not include the main points.
• The thesis statement is not provable.
• It discusses many ideas and unfocused.
• A weak thesis has not made any claim and does not need to prove.
Some basic guidelines for identifying and fixing weak thesis statements:
• Make a claim in your thesis which provides the possibility of arguments for the reader.
• Try to avoid conservative ideas unless you can introduce a fresh perception on it.
• Convert broad ideas and arguments to more specific statement.
• Daily observes your questions and key terms instead of simply accepting them.
• Assess your statement by yourself, that your statement requires any further development or go to the next level or not.
• Avoid those words which explain any personal opinions such as accurate, real, believable, good etc. it makes your thesis doubtful.
• Qualify your claims as the paper progressing.

Ron,
Sorry for the delay in thanking you for the open invite. WiFi is spotty at best here on this ranch and it went "south" on us Tuesday night....I will touch base with a bud down in New Iberia and see about getting a case or two of Dixie Beer that he's had stashed out in his woodshed sent to ya....and I'll bring the Shiner from my favorite local Allsups when I go home to Jefferson for Thanksgiving. Cheers!
Thanks Lewis
A thesis is often simply an argument for a particular point of view and given the amount of arguing that goes on I'd have through this information very relevant. We can live in hope.
You're welcome in the Lounge any time. Glad you enjoyed the tour. Eventually, I plan to add a tasting room ;-).

and then it steered me to this:
Educating the Education Market--The Value of Box Guitars
STRENGTH OF THE INSTRUMENT
One of the greatest strengths of the CBG genre is that the instrument can be easy and inexpensive to make, and is easy-to-learn. This makes it potentially a very valuable instrument for the education field-- whether that education is in schools or within the family.
