Compliment around these parts, podner...

I have an R tailpiece on my CW and it takes some good eyes and a steady hand to string it up. I thought the trapeze might be easier.

I would have thought so too, Bill. I'm due to change the strings on my 660/12 for the first time so it should be an interesting experience, if nothing else. Think I might start early in the morning and keep the tranquilizers handy!
