Hey Mal in Australia:

That may have been me turning up to a session without a guitar! If I go straight from work I don't have an instrument and have been known to ask to borrow for one song. Eek - your dimensions sound formidable! I'll think twice before asking! Mind you, one of the regular sessions I go to you'll be hard up finding a guitar in regular tuning. Most of the guys tune in 'd'. or maybe that's just a ploy to keep people away from their instrument!
