Hi Mr. Hall,

I've just ordered a 370/12VP from Long & McQuade in Toronto after seeing them advertised on the North Coast Music website. Having dealt with Gary on numerous occasions, and being well aware of his excellent service, I was hoping to order the model he advertised from him. Since Gary states that due to franchise restrictions he was unable to ship outside the USA, I had to order one through the local dealer.

My question though is in regards to the model configuration. On the NCM website, Gary indicates that the bridge has individual string saddle adjustments for perfect intonation. I assume this is the 12-saddle bridge that Ric offers. Is this standard issue on the 370/12VP or were these particular guitars custom manufactured for NCM? I would prefer this configuration but understand that most models come with the standard 6-saddle bridge.

Any information you could shed on the subject would be greatly appreciated.

Many thanks in advance,

Steve

Dealers in North America are allowed to ship anywhere in North America. Gary must be confused- I'll have to have someone enlighten him.

A Model 370/12 would have a six saddle bridge. If NCM is offering them that way, they converted them there.

Thanks for the reply Mr. Hall.

That bit of news is great for us in Canada, since Gary carries the Ric strings which are seemingly impossible to find up here.

Many thanks again for the info.
