I'm still not clear on what it is. is it an impression in the wood, and the smooth finish follows it down and back up? Or is the wood fine, and there is a ding in the finish? Did you do it or was it like that from the factory? or from a previous seller? If you took the time to post about it I doubt...

Wouldn't you need 3 sets, since there are 3 .010's and 3 .013's? Or would you get 2 sets and 2 singles?

My only thought was maybe they used whatever they could early in the model's run, but I see a '95 in the RRF register with the saddles I'm used to seeing on PZ's, which I have read RIC had to make themselves basically and was not a desirable step to have to add to the manufacturing process.

yeah I'm 99.9% sure that's not factory. Worth emailing RIC to ask though.

hard part will be finding ones without the words on them!
