Thanks Horace I did find a Dana Johnson in Huntington Beach and left a message. Will see what happens. Also might have replaced all the agraffes if Scott hadn't already strung it with the exception of the bass. I'm not too concerned about further breakage since they broke only when being turned out and were otherwise OK. Next time I might change my mind. Still I would like to preserve the original string spacing if possible. Thanks for the input.
