J in K ...you assume correctly.

Thank you for information regarding "bridge compensation." As Johnny Carson would've said, "I didn't know that."

As the ignorant deed has already been done, and the original set of strings has been discarded many many moons ago, there's nothing to do now but relegate my observation of 13-Aug-01 9:32AM to the category of "Things That Make You Go 'Hmmmm.'" Guess I could write Gibson, but it doesn't bother me: luckily my discriminant tastes are nowhere near professional grade.

Evidently the guy who did the set-up to accomodate the lighter guage strings on the guitar for me didn't know that either, because he made no mention of it. Or perhaps he didn't care, who knows? All water under the bridge now.

Thanks again.
