LOL! This is getting damn funny. Look, I probably WILL take the guitar to an experienced guitar tech person, because that saves me the trouble of mucking around with a lot of arcane stuff that I may or may not fully understand and may or may not get right.

I started this thread for one main reason. I simply enjoy the yack-yack that ensues here whenever anyone raises any kind of question at all or talks about anything at all on Mudcat. I was curious to see what people would say. You have not disappointed me. ;-) In typical Mudcat fashion a host of eager people have rushed into the breach with their valuable information...and they are now squabbling with one another...resuming a few old vendettas here and there...casting aspersions on other people's advice....giving dire warnings NOT to heed so-and-so's advice...making jokes about my Bob Dylan worship...and here and there saying something that is genuinely interesting too.

Typical response, in other words! ;-)

Way to go, people. You have fully met my expectations. Leeneia, I do NOT put stickers on my guitars! Jeezus! Sacrilege!
