This is a great explanation. Thanks for posting.

I think it’s fair to say that Brexit has cured my GAS but I can’t, in all honesty, put that down as a “benefit”.

TI jazz flats. 43 - 100 with red silks at both ends. the windings don’t look quite right - a little too smooth.

I’m guessing too… tritone substitution?

If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.

This happened to me three or four times when I was playing regularly. This was when playing guitar and it happened to the middle finger of my fretting hand. At this point you really do have to stop and uncurl the finger with your other hand in order to keep on playing. It never occurred to me to seek medical advice as I just thought it was muscle cramps. Maybe I should have. If it’s your plucking hand, I think a plectrum in your pocket for backup is a great idea.

HCT has a zero fret. Ignition only has the nut.

Well apart from ordering the wrong model from the OP, it's arrived and it's great! I ordered the "bass" strap which appears to be neoprene rather than the memory foam in the OP. My usual straps are wide Leathergraft straps and compared to those, the extra padding is noticeable and makes a bit of a difference. I was concerned that the neoprene would be a bit bouncy but it's not at all. If you are using a two inch cheese-cutter strap, this will be a revelation.
