Wow, Paul, this is great. I never really paid attention to compensators and what they did, but this video makes it make perfect sense.. or maybe I should say "just sense", Thanks

Picture coming up....

That's right, Russ. I had to cut through the barbed connector on an angle, the same angle as the hole coming out the front of the finger. This was all tedious work with a dremmel, using cutoff wheels, ...

I remember when I put the new ones on it was way too lively sounding Laughing

LOL lets just say I was doing a test... I know thats way too long to go without changing the strings. I played it about 3 hours every week. I did break one string about a year ago, but if I remember r ...

Thanks Jim for the offer, I didn't realize they would be available any where any more.
I don't currently need any as these work really well, fortunately i didn't ruin any in the process.

As they say..."Don't try this at home"...
You could ruin a otherwise nice guitar very quickly. Whoa!

Ed, I received the work book, and I think it's going to keep me busy for quite a while! Here's yet another Thanks for sharing this information with the rest of us.

Hi Ed,
