This is a multi-part message in MIME format. ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment Daniel, Did you replace the wippens with original (Schwander-style) wippens or do they have a butterfly spring? Those originals used a graduated spring wire from bass to treble so it's important to keep them in order. Also, did you check center friction on each part? Allan Allan L.
