Yes, Thanks for catching that. I seem to making those kinds of mistakes both in speech and writing more and more often these days. Same thing with typing. I have to read and reread and correct every other word. With all that going on, it is no wonder I miss these kinds of mistakes. I don't know what is wrong with me, but I am hoping it is nothing more than getting older.

However, I would love to have a CF version of my Huss and Dalton 00, built to the exact same dimensions. Tony

It is quite likely that the original owner of your guitar might not have recognized it. For me, the guitar just felt a bit stiff as if maybe lighter gauge strings might help. I would have never guessed that the neck angle could be off. After whatever adjustment was made, my Sable is now the easiest playing guitar I have owned. Of course, restating that doesn't answer the OP's question either. Tony

Ok thanks for all the feedback. Was just curious how a McPherson is built differently than other bolt-ons. I get that with a good system you'd never have to adjust it but that assumes it's setup properly in the first place. Just wondering if one ever had to do this adjustment, would it be easy for an independent tech to do it, or would the factory be better placed to do it.

I seriously doubt that anything actually shifted - more likely, not properly aligned at the factory.

So, based on what Ron said, there was no neck shifting. He simply changed the neck angle from what it was set to at the factory to what it is now to facilitate easier paying. We don't know if, as far as McPherson is concerned, the neck angle was set properly according to their own specs and Ron changed it to facilitate easier playing, or if it was not set properly at the factory and Ron set it properly. Given McPherson's reputation for quality, I would guess the latter, but we simply don't know what we don't know and anything about this particular situation would be nothing more than conjecture. Remember what I said earlier: It is quite likely that the original owner of your guitar might not have recognized it. For me, the guitar just felt a bit stiff as if maybe lighter gauge strings might help. I would have never guessed that the neck angle could be off. In other words, the neck angle on my McPherson might well have been just fine according to factory spec. For somebody else, no adjustment might have been called for. I always want my guitars to play as easy as possible and Ron was able to go the extra mile to do that. What I can say with certainty is that I am darn glad that the neck angle could be changed. As far as I know, this isn't the case for any of my other carbon fiber guitars except maybe the McPherson Touring. Tony
