Emerald heart-swap surgery !
So, the saddle on my stock X7 is a wee bit high for my liking .... The saddle on my new-to-me X20 has been shaved a bit too much.
I have requested a new one from the Emerald isle, but meanwhile ..... Wish me luck boys, I’m a going in !

Did you use a local anesthesia on the bridges? My dentist does sometimes ...but that might be something completely different. Just wonderin'.

so I took a good slug of ol’ red-eye and chowed down on a strip of rawhide. The operation was something of a success, the X20 sounds better, louder and less buzzy for what I like to call my “style” ,,, ahem ,,, but the action could come down just a teeny weeny and the X7 is now a little quieter (apart from the buzzin’) and fractionally easier to fret. Sooo,,, just in between the two sizes I have will be bang on for both of ‘em I’d say.

A gang banger, that's what you've become. Watch out for home land security. Strangely, you don't look like the traditional banger. That probably makes you all the more dangerous. Sneaky Brit.

 With the title of this thread, I was seeing Long Jon with a set of heart-shocking paddles, yelling, "Clear!" Then, LJ looking like Colin Clive and screaming, "IT'S ALIVE!" Glad to hear both patients survived!
