Thanks, John, I'll see what I can do with your ideas as well.

Rick, or anybody knowledgeable about guitar specs: I looked at the "Mudcat vow" thread and found that you said something about needing a Gibson-style neck for this. According to the Lasido website, my guitar's nut width is 1.8" and the fingerboard radius (whatever that means) is 16". The Gibson website didn't include sizes in its specs chart... can anyone tell me if the Seagull neck size is in the right range?
