Brian,
It's not as dire as I made it sound. It was going in for a tune-up
anyway, but I was undecided about what mods I might do...I am thinking
I will go with a Graphtech saddles, and add the Buzz Stop at a later
time, if needed. Seems to me the tech can work with the saddles and
the Buzz Stop looks easy enuff for me.
As for the skippy "G" string, I think a string tree will solve that
problem.
Thanks (again) for great advice.
On the plus side, the tone on this Jap Jaguar is really nice...just
like the Belairs' on the original Mr. Moto! So, I am very stoked.
Thanks again!
Gavin
