| except for the aluminum finger top...the rest of the finger assembly is made of high tensil strength stsinless steel...the keyheads will also be offered in the 18:1 chrome Grover "Rotomatics"...standard are the 18:1 Grover "butterbean" Statite Tuners...while I was off work going through these cancer treatments and not having the strength to do any work. I kept my mind active planning these new things which also helped me not to be soooooooo depressed...I am happy to report that they got all of the cancer and now we are in the recovery mode getting my strength built back up...it takes such a long time after all of that chemo and radiation...I am sooooooooooo thankful to my GOD and the Doctors and Nurses...I could not have had a better staff caring for ne even if I had been at the Mayo Clinic...thank you for all of your prayers and support during this very difficult time in my life.......Coop |

mend, Only today a close ex-pat friend of ours here succumbed to cancer in both lungs, he was 38 years
old.
All the best,keep well.

John,
Your work appears to deserve the great reputation I've seen on this forum.
I wonder if those ball-bearing fingers would work with my guitar? It's a Miller Custom with a pull-release design. The inside distance between the "pillow blocks" is 3-20/64". The shaft appears to be 5/8".
In trying to add 3 KL's to the original 1, I've encountered some challenges in getting the raises and lowers to work correctly when applied to the same string. Maybe changing some or all of the fingers to your design would mitigate that problem.
Is it appropriate to ask how much you sell these for?
Thanks.
