    less relief / flatter = lower action
    more relief / bow = higher action
    do NOT use cheap tools to adjust with. they might break and scrape up your pressious!
    also, if you are lucky enough to have a 100th namm sr4: the truss works the other way around on that one!

    ouch

    I feel for you, I really do...

    I had the same thing bidding (or not as it turned out) on an amp a while back. Got to the last minute, placed a bid and because I hadn't set my browser to remember the password eBay logged me out

    Of course, that was my own fault

    Disaster - I can't beleive how important the internet has become in such a short time, it doesn't seem that long ago when buying a guitar in another country was impossible!

    Sorry for your loss......... would black make up for it?
