Can anyone suggest a safe courier service, doesn't need to be same day. I suspect a fair bit of work required so it's going to get pricey. |

Just needed to make all the arrangements far enough in advance to find lowest prices.. I also conived to coincide the trip with our wedding anniversary, so it became a more cost effective short romantic holiday for me and the mrs, that I also took my bulky guitar case along to... |

I tried playing it last night - even with the problem high action it sounds so nice, it's either a neck reset or the cedar top is going need some serious flattening. No idea why that happened. |

Had a great weekend to the point where I did the same again when it was ready. Only problem was I couldn't resist buying a new Telecaster while I was in the shop. . . . . |

That was a fairly pleasant wedding anniversary weekend break in Exeter, despite the expensive drink and food prices... ..and the extortionately over priced cider was warm and vinegary in just about evey pub... ..and posh students chain smoking roll ups while we were eating in the yard of the best pub we found.. I bet their parents can afford the prices in Manson's and the other excellent guitar shop. While we were in Manson's a cluless doting mother was buying her indifferent teenage son a two grand Les Paul to learn on... |
