Ebay Purchase - nervous wait

Your fingers will rise to the acoustic challange in no time, and then your electric will seem overly-touchy and unforgiving. Have fun.

Guess it's time to move Name that Riff into den Dritten Teil (that correct?) -- "Greybeard Goes Acoustic."

Does that mean I have to sing? :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

The german's fine (even their complicated grammar) just the "dritten" has a small "d".

May I ask how many millimetres above the frets your strings are say at the 12th fret, Moonrider - I've been thinking of getting the action on my acoustic lowered but not sure if it might wreck it, thanks. I just measured mine and it's about 4 and a half millimetres at 12th.

Violet, my Martin is set at 7/64 of an inch above the 12th fret, which is approximately 2.7 mm

Thanks Moonrider, I'll probably book mine in to get lowered with the guy I bought it from, he does all the local repairs for Fender, so I think he should be reliable.

That's true about it feeling a bit weird when you change from playing electric to acoustic and vice versa - it felt really weird playing an electric for the first time after playing only on an acoustic - the strings felt funny and were closer together, and I tried to play an B B King song like B B King and it sounded pathetic. The trick is to keep playing both regularly I think. I stopped playing my mandolin for months when I got a new acoustic guitar, then when I got back on it it seemed so tiny and hard on the fingers (it's got double strings), now I play both regularly and the adjustment is easy.
