Totally feel your stress with the wet sanding thing - I had a hand painted design underneath my clearcoat - no pressure then! Glad it went well, it's looking boss!

I highly doubt you'll find one ready made off the shelf - I would just get the original copied. Either Brian Pillans (earlpilanz on ebay) or Tinytone will do this for you.

Sax player in the 'Spoons doesn't drive (but bless him, he's learning) - I just give him a lift to rehearsals, I'm going anyway. He gets the biscuits in, it's all good.

Thanks! Anything beyond "intentional" is a bonus

According to my callipers, the hex key I have is 0.061" or 1.55mm across the flats, or 0.0675" or 1.71mm at its widest. In a pinch, a T6 Torx might also get in the corners of that hex and turn it, being that it is 0.066"/1.68.mm point to point. We're talking tiny differences here - might work, might not depending on how well made your T6 is.

Or maybe he got fed up of the earache he was getting.

That is a Hipshot A-style bridge. To adjust the string spacing, loosen the grub screw which sits alone on the right hand side of the saddle underneath the two saddle height adjustment screws, then move the saddle side to side by hand as you require, then tighten the single grub screw back down to lock it in place. The screw will likely be in freedom/imperial units. My A-style came with a key which I guard with my life. I could get the callipers out and measure it when I get home, if that helps?

Slow down, talking in terms of whole turns is making me nervous! What are you trying to do - straighten the neck, or allow more relief? Because that's all the truss rod does - adjust neck relief. It has an effect on it but it is not the primary means of adjusting the string action (ie. height).

I wouldn't like to use tape to make up a 2mm discrepancy, tape for wee wobbles only for me. I'd want something a bit more substantial than layers of tape in there making up that kind of difference.

You have indeed stumbled upon the correct pronunciation. It is simply "neep" as in swede/turnip/rutabaga and "heid" as in head. A silly person, basically. I came up with it as my internet nom de guerre/plume because I was wanting a Hotmail address (in the pre Microsoft days, so around 1996?) with no numbers in it and I wondered what no American would think of.

Girl, I'm just a Neepster for your love? I'll get my coat. PM incoming.

Ha, Annie Lennox is going to be so annoyed at that.

These knobs. I think they tie things together nicely with their half black, half shiny nature.
