I got the Narra/Carpathian intonated tonight. WOW!!! Love this wood combo!!! This is the best balanced tone I have ever played more less built. The highs ring like church bells the mid range is very strong and the Bass is intense but not dominating. I really would like to tell the client this got lost in shipment. But that is the nature of the craft, and he has paid for 75% of it. Final pictures later this week I promiseMichaelP38997.9233333333

Michael your experiences with that Narra really has me wanting to give it a try. Don has some killer sets, Hesh grabbed the one I wanted But DOn tells me he has the matching set to it, So I am slowing working Big D in to selling it to me!

By the way, I think Don might be adding a full size vac press to his list of items to sell, I got the prototype yesterday and its awesome! Aluminum channel frame, heavy duty window sash latches, just an all around great jig, if anyone is interested id pin Don fast, as far as I know KNOW BODY offers these things so I suspect if don wants, he would have a nice thing going if started to offer them. There worth every penny!

Michael, not trying to hijack your thread bud

The really nice thing was I strung it up, hooked the VSII up and started testing. every string except the nasty B was dead center saddle on intonation That makes me very happy. I only had to remove the saddle once file it to position and she was good to go. I used the inner core of a .042 string as an adjustable intonation to to find the position on the saddle.
