You're very nice, thank you. See you then, and I can have tea ready if you
like...very much appreciate this. The neck feels a bit stiff in the higher
registers, and I wonder if it needs a bit less relief and or less saddle,
but I am sure you can make it feel a bit more comfortable. I'd like to keep
using the 12s on it, but could go to an 11 if not. See you Wednesday, Tim.
Thanks. Joe
