Joined: November 2004 Posts: 4413 | 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. | ||

Joined: November 2004 Posts: 4413 | 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. | ||

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. :DYo Cheese, Please tell me you have callouses by now. | ||
