Thanks Doug and Maxi.
Doug, you've hit the nail on the head. I think that has everything to do with Syo being very detail oriented, and being a very hands-on kind of guy when it comes to his products. It's nice to pull a guitar out of the box and not have to start thinking about what you'll need to change or replace. Of course that wouldn't always stop me, but in this case I like things the way they are.
