| My Country Artist came back from the Uk distributors today - it is now absolutely perfect. The action and set up are just superb. The luthier even rang me up last week to ask EXACTLY what height I wanted the strings set to.
When Mr Budny talks, these guys listen. |

| Full fret dress and some kind of fiddle with the nut - it seems to have lost 3 of its 5 shims and it plays just beautifully.
This just goes to show that dodgy necks can be fixed - I'm clinging to this as an omen.
BTW - I got some new painkillers today that include the warning "If taken for 4 weeks or more do NOT suddenly stop. Consult your doctor to avoid withdrawal symptoms."
Who needs illegal drugs when you've got friends in the medical profession. And they really work. |

Now you can play until your fingers bleed and you would never feel it. Wonderous things, painkillers. :D |

Yo Cheese,
Please tell me you have callouses by now. Yes, I have developed callouses. Makes playing, or attemptimg to play, easier. I practice all week long on my Tak acoustic, then when lesson time comes I use the Deacon, which is much easier to play. :D I can even do barre chords on the Tak now, with no problem. :D |

Good thing Cheese doesn't leave in California or he might go off and teach Moody a 4th chord. |

I have not been on the OFC for quite some time and see that you have not been well. I hope that you are recovering and will be fully fit soon. I trust the the Kent hospital you were in looked after you. Was it Ashford ?
I had to send my first Ovation back to Horsby Skews for a set up. It turned out that the neck was twisted and it was replaced. They set up my 1778 LX, but with a high action, which I have now removed all the shims.
