Niki, I've been keen to sample some of that gentleman's products ever since you first mentioned him many months ago. However, everytime I have some cash in my pocket I seem to blow it on something else.

For example, a couple of hours ago I suddenly bought myself a nice Axminster planing machine:

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll? ... 0308286022

That's a £441 machine in good nick for £150. A tedious drive to collect, but I couldn't stop myself.

And what the heck am I mentioning it on the Fender website for? Well, that's a guitar related purchase, I can assure you... :wink:

Cheers - C

Does sir require assistance in shipping the item?

We could drop round my drummers house and have a go in his smithy. Very talented man our Rob. He just built something very similar to this

Or we could pop round the singers workshop and measure the intonation offsets on one of your guitars. I've been discussing the bone project with him as soon as i download strobosoft were setting about measuring the offsets for my guitar. Were even partway through designing a new nut/tool to intonate the low frets for the purpose of taking measurements. Having trouble working out how to set slot heights on a permanent tool though.

Very kind, thank you! But hopefully we can manage. I've done some frantic measurements and I do hope we can cram it into the back of my wife's little Prius. It'll be a desperate one-way van hire otherwise. I think it'll be OK though: the seller says that top stickyout section comes off...
