I've a gig tomorrow night, so the D-18 made a timely arrival.

Why that string height over first fret? Well it's all to do with my acidic sweat. I'm having to change strings fortnightly at most, and the 'sawing' back and forth over the slot bottoms would soon create buzzing there I'm sure. So I go higher to get more longevity.
