I thought about that after I posted it! Two posts sticking 4 feet out of the ground - one has 1.5 feet burried, the other has 2 feet. Then the same scenario. That would have been worded better.

I agree about wood quality as well. Its just another reason that I'm in favor of the Elitist - nice light weight non chambered or weight relieved Mahogany...

OK, I quit!

(Another thing I noticed recently is that the Elitists have a real wood headstock veneer just like on my R8, rather than a composite or plastic veneer used on the USA Gibsons)
