    Not bad at all. This one is on my list too...one day.

    There are a few copies out there, but this is definitely one of the better ones I have seen.

    Hey Trevor,
    Just moved your thread to this section as this is a better place for it

    There is always a workaround for glitches, mistakes and other Guitar building gremlins.....
