So is that Mrs. Graham's leash for you hanging on the wall?

I swapped out the saddles and the pins today from the mahogany to the rosewood. I had to made a shim as the mahogany one has an USP so was cut quite lower. Also had to shave just a tad off of the length to fit, but the end result is exactly what I was hoping the RW would sound like. :D

I put JP PB lights on it and they'll take a day or two to settle in, but first impressions are very good. Full sound, robust even. Great highs, great bass, good mids.

Now I need to get a saddle made for it and some bone pins.

I'm very happy with it now.

Well done Graham! Are you thinking of bringing the twins, (although not identical) to Arlington this year? :mrgreen:

Definitely.

The mahogany one is stellar in sound. I had pretty much sworn off mahogany but I remember sitting on Scratch's front porch playing this guitar last year and it just sounded very nice.

Now when I get a new saddle and pins for the RW one they should be a very nice pair. After that on to find a maple one. :shock: :mrgreen:

It would be great if you could make it. It's a Guildasborg with plenty to go around. :mrgreen:
