They do look close....probably a product of both strings being crammed in one hole (maybe the pin is suppose to have a separator on it that broke off or both strings got on the same side?) |

Location: Brighty in Blighty | Well spotted 2ifbyc! Those pics were taken before I saw that the B strings were badly aligned on the bridge, I've moved them and now are in the right place!

Brook guitars are a highly regarded small workshop making extremely fine instruments, hell even Adrian Legg plays one these days! |
