Jon, So except for the thinned shanks, you don't pre-sort your new s/f at all before you install them onto the rail? Or do you get the shank SW and sort them that way, going from lighter on the bass to heavier toward the treble? Or does it make a lot of difference with the measurements SS measurement coming out to 1.5g to 2g? The bottom line is that I'm just trying to level things out as much as possible before I glue on the new hammers to try and avoid unnecessary work later.
