<p>Tried to load photo but it's over the 5mb limit, it's on my FB. Day went very well and it was a lot of work, 16 stratocasters all the same but for color and 5 j200's all with fishman pick-ups. The basic rundown was 3 different set-ups with 2 back ups for each one. #1 standard tuning with high floating bridge(5/64's), #2 standard tuning but with capo lower bridge(3/64's) and #3 drop tuning 1/2 step or drop D same bridge.

Trade secrets, Alan alway lines up the sperzel tuner holes with the strings before stringing and streched the strings behind the nut also. Very nice people and a memorable day for me. One last thing Alan's Peterson strobe tuner had 12 spinning wheels one for each note, I think I need one!</p> A couple pics from a bucket l…tag:fretsnet.ning.com,2012-11-29:2177249:Comment:978982012-11-29T21:37:58.807ZStephen Morganhttp://fretsnet.ning.com/profile/StephenMorgan

<p>You lucky duck!!!!</p>
<p>So, did Alan let any trade secrets slip during his visit?</p>
<p>The guitar you refretted sounds a lot like the Schecter Tele taht Roger played on the "Emminence Front" video.</p>

<p>Good stuff Stephen and it's a nice story. As you say, we are a meeting place concerned with building and repairing and we have a particular focus and generally try to remain on thread and relevant.</p>

<p>But, its a free world and exciting from time to time and I hope filing the fret ends goes well. P.S. make sure they pay - a lot of the bigger bands treat themselves as royalty and exploit starry eyed young blokes - a least negotiate a signed T-Shirt.</p>
