Oh Lor'!  It's unbelieveable what some folks get up to.....

I was told that the guy who WD40'd the string coils had also done 
something with it down below and I had a look. The bridge seemed ok, so 
I am hoping he confined himself to the string loops and hitch pins, or 
maybe something to do with the pedals.

Best regards,

David.
