Interesting that this may be more common than I realised. Van Lingle, no I didn't realise DADdGAD sets were available...problem is I also occasionally play in standard and other non-standard set-ups. Thanks anyway (I might give them a try having said that).

Mandotim - I like the theory but why don't string manufacturers compemsate for this ?

JGM - you've got me seriously thinking about my set-up..

WLD - I'm in Felixstowe (Suffolk) but prepared to travel to get the job done properly, there are a couple of Martin dealers I know in this area but personal recommendation is everything here.

Still love the guitar, know the Basil Fawlty feeling though...
