Hi one and all,
I just picked up this here Shaftesbury copy after it disappeared from eBay...

I probably paid over the odds but it's not too bad for its age. It's surprisingly heavy and well-made. There's a deep split (repairable) in the bottom 1/3 of the body, the bridge needs straightening, the nut & pickup selector need replacing, and it will need a refret (thinks...or a DEfret..) sooner rather than later, all of which will keep me busy pretty much until I die. At least I'll have fun. Anyway the immediate glaring need is for the 'A' string tuner, the enclosed sort. If it's not too cheeky for my first post, does anyone have one? I may have a part you want in exchange - I've got a few various bridges, tuners, nuts etc - or we could sort something out. Thanks in advance.
