Baldwin used frontrail glide bolts in the years prior to Gibson. I thought it was for production purposes. Less time in the factory, more profit.

A non-destructive way to adjust the front rail. No removing material to fit the rail that you want back next season. dp _______________________ David M.

At the time Aolien was building them for Chickering supposedly to Chickering specs. My suspicion is they weren't as much a necessity as something different for Chickering to use for sales.

It also had glides in the usual spots in the keyframe. Is this a necessity?
