Hey there Quentin. Looks pretty familiar all right. Look at them round shanks eh ??... These are exactly what I am dealing with. Actually... I kind of like the jack rest set up this way. Its definatly doable to get a good jack position by utilizing the correct thickness of felt, and things really dont move alllll that much. Does tend to make it hard to tweek setoff/drop combinations tho.... but ..... :) How is the soundboard and bridge on yours ? Just how big of a rebuild are you doing ?
