Got a call from Andrew Guyton today. There is good news and bad news about my new guitar.
Good News: The tuning problem has been fixed. An adjustment to the knife edge in the tremolo fixed that.
Bad News: Some of the lacquer has bubbled on the head around the tuners. Andrew is going to have to fix it. He might have to dismantle the head and rub it down and re-lacquer it. If this is the case it’ll be about a month before it’s ready. it has to dry between cats etc.
I’m okay with this. I want it to be perfect when I get it. In the interim I’m going to borrow the Burns Red Special guitar on the right of the picture on this page to do some recording when I’m off work for a week.
