thanks for friending Al! I'm glad that transverse wire feed works and even more that it didn't cost much money :-) The string tension is still an issue to solve - I don't achieve the tension of handwound pickups yet.

Thanks Al, for the comment. Garage bands were and still are fun, there's just something about playing music with friends.
