Thank you Primitive Tribesman! I'll get two of those and assault one like the man formerly known as Mither. I have successfully truncated Kyser copies before but getting clearance for the bottom E string on a modified shubb may be tricky - although if it's a big enough gape I might be able to pad the rubber as well as removing part of it.

I can stick to one Kyser pro-am and a modified pro-am for the D-neck profile Hagstroms.

Is this the Mudcat coming up trumps again? Maybe I will start coming here again.
