Subject: RE: UK guitar luthier
The D-18 was set up by CCGX with EJ16, that being what I asked for. But I just couldn't get on with 'em, and I've gone back to Martin Lifespan 2.0 12-54, swapped out the Liquid Metal bridge pins for ebony and I'm basically back to the sound I fell in love with in the store, minus a little bass going down to 12's.

Of course, you'll recognise this, it's tinkering, something I can't stop doing. If I'm not messing with my guitar, I've got my banjo on the bench, and if I'm not doing either I'm cycling off-road along the Grantham-Nottingham canal towpath and stopping at the Dirty Duck for a swift half. Maybe I'll see you along the trail one day and we'll spend an hour setting the world to rights :)
