Dennis has done an incredible job making & installing the cut-off bar & beefed up treble tone bar. He has really jumped all over this one.<br/>  The rib scale now has 15 ribs instead of the usual 13 based on a hybrid idea. <br/>  The bridge pin pattern are laid out using a new Plexiglas location template & the results are really organize with few defects.<br/> The<font size="3"><strong><em> Stwy B</em></strong></font> ( B is for bad boy) sports a Custom made maple lam pin block & short 4 note transition bridge. This is an in shop  handcrafted Sitka spruce soundboard panel pressed up in new jigs & fixtures with Terry's input.<br/>  Disconnected ring bridge.....hmm should be fun. I may not be popular with some folks back at the Mother ship. <br/>  Hey, it's all fun when you cancorrect Mothers mistakes. We moved the block,bridge,capstans  & action stack forward to correct a horrible action ratio & keys full of lead.<br/>  Enjoy<br/>  Dale<br/> <img class="AOLInlineImage" id="AOLP119896" style="border-right: #0066cc 1px solid; border-top: #0066cc 1px solid; display: block; margin: 5px; vertical-align: middle; border-left: #0066cc 1px solid; border-bottom: #0066cc 1px solid" height="206" src="http://links.pictures.aol.com/pic?id=e8d0ZBAkj8b9hteeS5PIZuItoueYPQvUN5Exv4xQp5Fd3Ig=&size=m" width="275"/><img class="AOLInlineImage" id="AOLP719253" style="border-right: #0066cc 1px solid; border-top: #0066cc 1px solid; display: block; margin: 5px; vertical-align: middle; border-left: #0066cc 1px solid; border-bottom: #0066cc 1px solid" height="206" src="http://links.pictures.aol.com/pic?id=e8d0ZBAkj8b9hteeS5PIZuItotX09Q2lnWmAv4xQp5Fd3Ig=&size=m" width="275"/><a style="display: block; width: 285px; text-decoration: none" href="http://pictures.aol.com/ap/singleImage.do?pid=e8d0ZBAkj8b9hteeS5PIZuItorFilps-v0YOv4xQp5Fd3Ig%3D"><img class="AOLInlineImage" id="AOLP633966" style="border-right: #0066cc 1px solid; display: block; margin: 5px; vertical-align: middle; border-left: #0066cc 1px solid; border-bottom: #0066cc 1px solid; b: #0066cc 1px solid" height="206" src="http://links.pictures.aol.com/pic?id=e8d0ZBAkj8b9hteeS5PIZuItorFilps-v0YOv4xQp5Fd3Ig=&size=m" width="275"/> <div class="AOLPicturesFullSizeLink" style="margin-top: -6px; font-size: 11px; text-align: right">View full size</div></a><img class="AOLInlineImage" id="AOLP178411" style="border-right: #0066cc 1px solid; border-top: #0066cc 1px solid; display: block; margin: 5px; vertical-align: middle; border-left: #0066cc 1px solid; border-bottom: #0066cc 1px solid" height="206" src="http://links.pictures.aol.com/pic?id=e8d0ZBAkj8b9hteeS5PIZuItouwonptik-afv4xQp5Fd3Ig=&size=m" width="275"/><br/><br/><br/> <div id="AOLMsgPart_2_ba3355c6-f6f0-417d-8dc9-1d13bdfc3124"> <div class="envelope" style="float: none" align="left"><a style="display: block; width: 285px; text-decoration: none" href="http://pictures.aol.com/ap/singleImage.do?pid=e8d0ZBAkj8b9hteeS5PIZuItotX09Q2lnWmAv4xQp5Fd3Ig%3D" target="_blank">  <div class="AOLPicturesFullSizeLink" style="margin-top: -6px; font-size: 11px; text-align: right">View full size</div><img class="AOLInlineImage" id="AOLP958954" style="border-right: #0066cc 1px solid; border-top: #0066cc 1px solid; display: block; margin: 5px; vertical-align: middle; border-left: #0066cc 1px solid; border-bottom: #0066cc 1px solid" height="275" src="http://links.pictures.aol.com/pic?id=e8d0ZBAkj8b9hteeS5PIZuItolaQmJbs8SlGv4xQp5Fd3Ig=&size=m" width="206"/></a><a style="display: block; width: 285px; text-decoration: none" href="http://pictures.aol.com/ap/singleImage.do?pid=e8d0ZBAkj8b9hteeS5PIZuItoueYPQvUN5Exv4xQp5Fd3Ig%3D" target="_blank">  <div class="AOLPicturesFullSizeLink" style="margin-top: -6px; font-size: 11px; text-align: right">View full size</div></a> <div class="envelope" style="float: none" align="left"> </div> <div><span> </span></div> </div> <div><span> <div class="envelope" style="float: none" align="left"><a style="display: block; width: 285px; text-decoration: none" href="http://pictures.aol.com/ap/singleImage.do?pid=e8d0ZBAkj8b9hteeS5PIZuItouwonptik-afv4xQp5Fd3Ig%3D" target="_blank">  <div class="AOLPicturesFullSizeLink" style="margin-top: -6px; font-size: 11px; text-align: right">View full size</div></a> <div class="envelope" style="float: none" align="left"><a style="display: block; width: 216px; text-decoration: none" href="http://pictures.aol.com/ap/singleImage.do?pid=e8d0ZBAkj8b9hteeS5PIZuItolaQmJbs8SlGv4xQp5Fd3Ig%3D" target="_blank">  <div class="AOLPicturesFullSizeLink" style="margin-top: -6px; font-size: 11px; text-align: right">View full size</div></a> </div> <div class="envelope" style="float: none" align="left"> </div> <div><span> </span></div> </div> <div><span> </span></div></span> </div> <div class="aol_ad_footer" id="u8CA5FC37E424A2B-56C-2F2"><font style="font: 10pt ARIAL, SAN-SERIF; color: black"> <hr style="margin-top: 10px"/>Planning your summer road trip?
