A new solution for lift!
Factory will now be carving the bodies
"moderately concave" there.
Think it'll work?

I'll give it another try from back home during the weekend. We only have analogue telephone line in the country side, sometime the laptop is sooo slow uploading, it disrupts the emails. You'll get it, promise!

Yepp, from both of you. I also received the "failed transmission report" about the two e-mails to Jeffrey: process too long, time expired. Maybe the pic is too large??? Tomorrow I will reply to both of you.

Since yesterday I have a second Rickenbacker. It's a 4003 ('92) mapleglo with black hardware. I adore it already, but the tailpiece is really bended. The gap is like 8mm!
My 4001 only has 1mm.
Is there any way to make this 8mm less?
