..the following has to deal with guitars and tuning..those not interested can
delete now.


Bill Bremmer, in your last post about tuning a guitar with the SAT and the
results from doing that, you fail to mention one thing..

I was waiting...and waiting...and didn't see it..so I need to ask:

Is it NOT true that no matter what tuning you put on a guitar, the result is only
as good as the condition of the bridge, nut and frets?

no matter what you tune the open strings to, the result is only as good as the
'set-up' on a guitar.

Worn frets, a worn nut, and an improperly set bridge can have have a sever affect
on the instrument..no matter what the intention is.

Please correct me if I am wrong.
