That's interesting creamburmese. I'll do some research about those humidipacks. RH down here neat the Cornish coast probably averages around the 80% mark. Oh to be in a drier climate!

Wetter may be better than drier! At least you won't get cracks developing.

The Lowden's going into the shop while we're away in Scotland for a few days. Project Music are bending over backwards to help, even agreeing to meet me in the shop on Sunday when they're normally closed (as that's when we're passing through Exeter). jonwireless and I gave it a good workout this week in the old lightboat station in Porthleven, venue for an exhibition of his paintings (very highly recommended by the way). The acoustics in there were astonishing and the guitar sounded sumptuous. Just needs a bit of an adjustment that's all. Now if only I had a uke to keep me going while we're away. Only kidding

That's very good customer service by Project Music - on the side of the angels for sure! At least you have the positive of how the guitar sounds. Hope the adjustment resolves it all. Mark

Let's hope you have a beautifully playable and sumptuous sounding guitar to welcome you back to GOC....
Looking forward to hearing about a positive result...!

Thanks Andrew. I took it in this morning and the guy confirmed that there really isn't much wrong at all, just the hint of a slight buzz on the unwound strings.
He understood exactly where I was coming from, i.e. paranoia coupled with a total loss of objectivity. I'd reached the point where I just needed reassurance that all was good, which I'm sure it will be when I collect it again next week. Like I said it sounded fantastic from the back of the room when Jon was playing it the other day.
Missing it already!

She's home Grooves in the saddle cut very slightly deeper and it's sorted. That's all. Sounds beautiful. Indeed, two of the staff at Project Music remarked that it was a pretty special sounding example. I know, they would say that wouldn't they? But I think they meant it.
