What an inspirational thread!

Epic.

I hope I can truly absorb the full content of that sentence.

The flat earth theory is in fact equal temperament.

This.

It depends on what I'm doing, but I either do what Lane, Donny, and Georg do or I just slide under it on my back.

I'm accustomed to working on equipment so more often than not I just get under it l ...

b0b, I downloaded your user guide. It was a good read, thanks!

I like it! Thanks for taking the time to make and post it.

When I brought my first steel home I had no prior experience with setups. So I backed off the 4th string raise on the C pedal which gave me both Emmons and Day on the same guitar (ADA, at least in the ...

That's interesting, John. It shows how different each player's situation is.

I don't really care one way or the other about the pad, but without the extra body width under the pad I can't put the l ...

I cast one vote for the term "impedent".

Thanks Larry, I'll give him a try. I appreciate the information.

I texted him when I noticed this thread, and he confirmed he no longer makes them.

If anyone has a wide mount 912 for sale, I'm definitely interested.

I like it a lot. I never use tab, but if it looked like this I would use it.
