Comment by Jim Morris on July 7, 2016 at 12:38am: Thanks wes. I expect I'll replace those partial frets with full ones so I can play it my normal way.

Comment by Clock The Wolf on July 6, 2016 at 7:51pm: SUPERMEGAULTRA Neat-O!!!

Comment by Jim Morris on July 6, 2016 at 2:45pm: Thanks James O.

Comment by Dave Lynas on July 6, 2016 at 2:36pm: Very beautiful Jim. Sounds great. Thanks for the history too. That tune is just right.
