At least as far as I can see! And that may be the answer to your 'can't get one my size' issue. Best if luck!

Don't know how he fixes them, but I'd have though it might be worth your while to try some double sided sticky tape. Keith

Blimey, I don't own a guitar that costs as much as a new copy of that book!

Must be one hell of a good book.
