Ron, et al., would you be so kind as to describe what you see in
those<BR>> three photographs? <BR><BR>The best indicator of what it is,
would be the bridge cap<BR>grain angle. As Jon said, who else put the bridge
cap grain<BR>sideways? I don't suppose we'll ever know why they did
that,<BR>but they surly did do that. The extreme counter bearing angles
<BR>in the front duplex weren't necessarily intended as being a<BR>means to
identify it, but definitely an indication of the<BR>challenges involved in
the redesign.<BR><BR><BR>> It's amazing how often I miss all sorts of
information an expert would <BR>> immediately see and
understand. Thanks in advance for any
elucidation!<BR>><BR>> Annie Grieshop<BR><BR>Not much expertise
involved here, just mileage. Old dudes that<BR>have been around a while and
gotten some on us along the way. <BR>Ron N<BR></BLOCKQUOTE></DIV>

<DIV>You're right Ron I missed the bridge cap grain orentation but should have
recognized the extreme angle of the bass counter bearing, I do have one of
these, a smaller one that I tune semi-regularly.<BR clear=all><BR>-- <BR>Never
become so much of an expert that you stop gaining expertise. View life as a
continuous learning experience. <BR>- Denis Waitley<BR><BR><BR>Michael
