    After several Emails back and forth (on a weekend!) Andy is sending out a replacement kit.
    I gotta say that Andy gets 11 outta 10 for customer service and backing up his product.

    I do have a couple of noob questions for the learned folk haunting the forum,

    1: What sort of glue would you use for a bone nut on a maple neck?

    Im going to use Tung oil (is it just me, or does that sound rude to others as well?) for the fretboard.

    2: Would Tung oil (now I just cant resist saying it) be good for the back of the neck as well?
