What a find Chris! I had no idea of the 'lefty' sub-culture. Do you understand what 'intonation' means? Is it that the string becomes out of tune as you go up the neck? (not a problem I need to address just yet!)
Also, what is the 'converter' they talk about?
Quote:
"Subsequent fine-tuning of the intonation can be achieved by locating the converter off centre. An offset towards the treble strings results in decreased pitch, offset towards the base strings increases the pitch. This fine adjustment can only be made after first experience with the converter located centrally as per step 5."
In 'other news' I'm planning to post my base-line lefty piece on Jan 1st. How are you going?????? At the moment my right hand fingers are sore and I don't have the strength in my ring and pinky to get a clean note, and as for stretching for the frets its mind-boggling - I can't really stretch to do a G chord cleanly, and C is even worse. And how the hell are you supposed to fit all your fingers in to do an A chord without buzzing the adjacent strings!!! And as for the dreaded F chord,
maybe by March.....
