Well I now have the loan of a lovely Sigma Dm4M from Abdul the Bul Bul. It has wonderful sound. Feels so good I am loathe to put it down. My left fingertips are so sore.

It is still in tune after Sunday night tuning. Amazing for a new set of strings. I plan to perform with it next week at Blackmore session.

Yippee!

Thank you everyone and especially Al who loaned the guitar and RB who advised I take up the offer.

Really should post a link to this thread on the Kindness of Mudcatters thread. I think there is such a thread.
