    Believe me when I say that some of the most amazing music in history was made on equipment that's not as good as what you own right now.

    I think it is going in for surgery pretty quick. It does have higher action which I think I am going to have dropped just a tad. I am going to have the nut cut and lubed and have the bridge pins replaced with Graph Tech Tusq pins because these pins aren't the greatest out there.

    Overall it sounds really great and has some pretty massive projection. It has a thick midrange which is pretty common with Koas, but I have heard that a good set of Graph Tech pins will mellow that out a bit.

    I also enjoy your wood, Josh.
    Every love that made me lose my reasoning. Every chord that made my conscience ache. Every day spent counting hours. Well, none of them comes close to singing back a song inside my head.

    I remember calloused hands and paint-stained jeans, and I remember safe-as-houses self-belief.
