Or take it to Steve Robinson or Ged Green. Both local, Steve is in Sale, Ged in Heaton ?????. one of the suburbs outside Stockport. I can recommend both. How's my MTD these days Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll send them both an email and see what they can do. That'll teach me to buy cheap strings off ebay. What's the saying again? Buy cheap, buy twice? As for the MTD, I've not got it yet. Should have it on Tuesday or Wednesday. Can't wait - I feel like a kid at Xmas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kembo_dee Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 Hiya Mate, I took my Stagg to www.alangregory.co.uk - 0161 224 8915 in Fallowfield, when I picked it up he told me the fingerboard was warped so I am on my 2nd Stagg EUB which is going well. I would take it in, he will probably mention he has done one before cheers Kembo [quote name='RayFW' post='403645' date='Feb 8 2009, 06:58 PM']Thought I would try some Weed Whackers on my Stagg.
