Paul, I use Jeffrey Scott, but my real name is John Lennon. Image Peter wouldn't believe my name was John Lennon!

I never tell anyone that I am really Paul McCartney. Not ever. Imagine all the **** I'd catch over marrying Legoless in the first place if I ever did Image

Here's how I pull truss rods: 4003 series come out from the body side of the neck and 4001's come out from the peghead end.

Hehehe - that is a good one! That one's definitely going into my Milton Berle Notebook for gleeful later use, Dale Image Image

Hey Dale, didn't you say sometime back that you make truss rods now? I have a 1968 4001 that needs a pair of the old-fashioned bent-doubles. Can you help me, please? Definitely worth the $50 or so that you say you were charging Image

You could slip them into the box with the 4005WB, if you want...

John will certainly appreciate an extra pair of rods, Elys! Image

Not JB's 4005WB, silly!

I am talking about MY 1966 MG 4005WB that is currently at Dale's Image Needed some hardware replated and a few other things, like a fretboard job and finish work....

OR do you think that Dale is going to get them switched in the boxes and send JB mine and me his.... ? Image
