elasticity in strings

you're totally right - i should just take it to a tech when i get paid next... just annoying when you shell out a shittonne of money for something nice, then you just keep shelling out cash on it to get sounding/playing the way you want, just never ends this curse.

Good call.
The great thing with Rics though is that once setup correctly they tend to stay that way for years and you won't be shelling out again for a long while.

4003 is back from setup today - had a quick play in the workshop. I figured the bloke was going to straighten the neck a bit and adjust the bridge, but holy moly, he's also filed down the nut, taken the laquer coating off the frets, flattened them all out and given them a nice polish as well! Very impressed! I had a quick play and it's feeling/sounding very nice indeed. Will give it a solid run at practise tonight and then on tour for a week. chuffed!

f*ck all the ric hate, i love my 4003.
