<DIV><STRONG><FONT face=Arial>Hi Richard,</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT face=Arial>I have done some restringings in the =
house, with
no problem.</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT face=Arial>I put a drop cloth on the
floor.</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT face=Arial>Have all the sizes of strings you =
need,
including the remanufactured bass strings.</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT face=Arial>Have the oversize pins
available.</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT face=Arial>Be sure to support the
pinblock.</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT face=Arial>Take the nicks out of the capo, and =
give it a
coat of paraffin wax.</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT face=Arial>Make sure bridge pins are firm, CA =
works well
for this.</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT face=Arial>I have found pin driving fluid to be a =
positive.</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT face=Arial>Make sure that you check the tightness =
of the
pins, you may have to go up two sizes.</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT face=Arial>If the pins are uniformly loose, you =
may not
have to ream.</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT face=Arial>Make sure that children are not =
allowed near
you, and use eye protection, and ear plugs.</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT face=Arial>Good luck.</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT face=Arial>I am sure others will correct any =
errors or
omissions. :-)</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT face=Arial>Regards,</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
