Got it back today!!! Definately worth the wait. Great quality work. The action is much lower, feels much less stiff, and the nut/saddle look great. I will definately be using them for future work.

Thanks to those who replied with info.

Maybe they used to do blacksmithing too. Not so many horsies around anymore, so they can hammer those frets down (Confucianist fret repair?).


Hey, I just noticed this is my 13th post...on the 13th day
