The result: a new instrument. Produces more sound, is easier to play. More even up and down all strings. Less wolfiness (**almost** no wolfs).
It took me a couple of days to notice the new string length - there were some serious struggles with intonation after the work was done. It's ***much*** easier to play, though.

Stan, I am curious about this. The pictures in your first post show the string height quite low. How much difference is the string length from the adjustments Arnold made? How high were the Strings before?
How long was the total length of the Tailpiece before and how long is it now? I am curious because they only vary about 1 to 1 1/2 inches in length on average between the 3/4 and 7/8 or 4/4 models. You mentioned Arnold cut a few inches off the length of the Tailpiece? From what to what?
You mention "
Height (bottom to button): 43 ½". Is that the Back? If so, how long is the Top from the bottom edge to the Tips bordering the Neck?
