Nice but complicated.

Here is my simple version.

The winner owns the guitar. They can do as they please with because it now belongs to them.

However.................If the winner puts stickers on it, Greg or myself will have our way with him and punish him / her to the full extent of the law............our law.

If the winner does not wish to retain the instrument, it comes back home to the builder.

Thanks for clearing that up. I was confused with that legal post. :rolleyes:

The placement of the tail plays apart of the feel & sound . Maybe Roman can chime in ?

Maximum tone would be gained by the placement of the tailpiece as close to the bridge as possible without hitting the side edge of the bridge. Increased angle means increased downward pressure and transference.

VERY OLD tort guard material! It took me a year to find this stuff, it's no longer made and it cost me DEARLY. I can't wait to see it on the guitar.
