Isn't that funny?!

True story here...the first night I played it...maybe the day after I bolt it up...and certainly the first time I am playing it at volume...I noticed at least a couple of those strings were rattling pretty good against the frets...and it was doing it on notes that I play! I can live with fret rattle on notes I don't play (and there are plenty of those) but it was soundling pretty crappy.

It has Glenndale saddles...and I did not have one of those teeny-tiny allen-wrenches that you need to adjust the saddle height ... so I improvised...had to borrow the pennies from the bass player.

That was back in September. I've played it a bunch and changed the strings on it several times, but I never remember to "fix" it.

Try doing THAT with a Les Paul!
