I should get it back by Tues. I'll report back.
Fascinating - .010 relief, AND buzzing on fretted note WITH saddle action at 8/64. Perhaps the .010 relief refers to backbow (negative relief that would move the frets closer to the strings)? I'm kidding. I'm looking forward to the outcome and hoping it works out.
