Can anyone suggest a safe courier service, doesn't need to be same day. I suspect a fair bit of work required so it's going to get pricey. |

Just needed to make all the arrangements far enough in advance to find lowest prices.. I also conived to coincide the trip with our wedding anniversary, so it became a more cost effective short romantic holiday for me and the mrs, that I also took my bulky guitar case along to... |

I tried playing it last night - even with the problem high action it sounds so nice, it's either a neck reset or the cedar top is going need some serious flattening. No idea why that happened. |

Had a great weekend to the point where I did the same again when it was ready. Only problem was I couldn't resist buying a new Telecaster while I was in the shop. . . . . |

While we were in Manson's a cluless doting mother was buying her indifferent teenage son a two grand Les Paul to learn on... |
