Hi Mark,
I'm the guy with that modified 310 or 315 that had a Diamond pick up put in the bridge position. Now I see they tock out most of the x-bracing for some reason.
Can you replace x-bracing? Is it vary costly? Thanks again!!

You need to talk with a pro on this one...
put the pick up back in and dont look at it....
it may not be that big of a deal...

I would love to just pretend I never saw it but I think the neck is a bit unstable.
It plays great and the action is fine. The neck is good and strait and the top is not being pushed in. But it seems to go in and out of pitch if you move it around to much when your playing it. If you sit down and play it you would never notice, but when you stand up with a strap you have to be careful not to move around to much, I shutter to think what would happen if Pete Townsend got a hold of it. Any way is that what the bracing is for? Thanks

With out looking at it ...it's tough to give you a good answer .I think I remember you said that you were in the San Francisco area .
Take it to Gary Brawer.He's in the 'City'
If you are somewhere else ....well sorry.
You need someone with a surgery /repair backround to look at this .
It could be a bigger job than you think .On the other hand it could be fairly simple to fix.
Have it looked at .
