Sounds like something wrong with the truss rod.

Whats the neck relief? How much does it change over a week?

No Hesh....he simply couldnt afford a purple cowboy suit. He had to resort to poor substitutes to satisfy his sexual cravings.

Wheres the room full of racks of purple cow boy suits?????

Never offended by Kiwi jokes...they go in one ear and out the other.

Have you visited the Scottish part of New Zealand? Around Southland they roll their r's and just about every place name is straight out of Scotland.

Chaps would be very dangerous if you were drunk. Youd stand a very good chance of tripping on your chaps and falling into the urinal when you went for a pee.

Whereabouts in Tazzie were you born Bob?

Some of these local businesses arent very clued up. Im quite happy to pay a few more dollars for an item from the US if it means I get what I order and I get kept informed of progress of the order.

The bottom line is Im willing to PAY for good service <==== Australian suppliers take note.

Placed an order with Carbatec here in Adelaide last friday. Got an email today saying the order was being processed today - two (three if you include saturday) working days to start on the order??? I go to the website to check on progress and find that one item is on back order...thanks for letting ...

As soon as Bob mentioned the ANZLF forum the blood drained from the sawmill owner's face and his hands started shaking.

If you havent made a classical before then this could be a good place to start.
