No problem, Barry
. I'll be needing some of your tips there to do some work on the K-Suzuki in the near future. It is starting to develop some bellying, but no sign of bridge lift discernible as yet.
The sound and projection of both guitars is very good with the ARIA being a bit fuller/mellower (string brand, bridge and pin differences?) - confirmed by my Son today. Action is nearly spot on - maybe a tiny bit high at the twelfth - and the intonation is a bit sharp on the high "E" and "B" strings (OLD strings?) and the relief is spot on. Playability is really nice considering the old strings and a need for lube on the nut (tuning was a BEAR!) plus the absence of the thin "G" string (ewww, that sounds naughty
).
New ebony bridge pins have arrived and new sets of 10 - 50 D'Addario's are on the way - both guitars are set up with this gauge.
