1.5mm is a bit shy of 4/64 inch, is it not? I have all my Balls strung with 10s or 11s and set up in this ballpark, certainly none higher than 4/64 inch at the low E string/12th fret, and none of my guitars buzz. Then again, it does require some care in adjusting, and the tolerances are fine: if I do get a slight buzz, as can happen due to humidity changes, a very slight tweak of the truss rod and I'm back in action (pun intended, and thanks for the EBMM truss rod adjustment wheel -brilliant design!). This forum is not the place to dispense advice on how to do such adjustments, but I assure you such action is possible. Contact customer service or take your guitar to a competent luthier for a setup.

Just all these things that players say like Eric Johnson stating....
I had the chance to spend the day with Eric Johnson back in 2000 and the most asked question was about him supposedly telling the difference between a Duracell and an Energizer 9volt battery. He said that while it had been taken out of context and grown into urban myth status, he could tell the difference with his pedals.

ooo? Axes? I thought it was like Radius and Radii.:D Thanks for the correction!

Well if you want to use declension, you have to do it completely.
For instance, if Axis is a Latin word (not sure of that :rolleyes:), it is a word from the third group. Thus the declensions for the singular are :
Axis, Axis, Axem, Axis, Axi, Axe (Nominative, Vocative, Accusative, Genitive, Dative, Ablative).
For the plural :
Axes, Axes, Axes, Axium, Axibus, Axibus (Nominative, Vocative, Accusative, Genitive, Dative, Ablative).

Thus if you want to say : "I own two Axis", you should say "I own two Axes".
But if you want to say : "I own one Axis", you should say "I own one Axem".

Don't say "I put new strings to my 2 Axis", but "I put new string to my 2 Axibus"

Declensions are a real pain in the A** (I studied Latin during 5 years :eek:). Don't mess with them !

I think this thread is now on crack :D

BTW...how do black pants affect your playing? :rolleyes:

It depends. Black jeans when you sweat will make you itch because of the dye. Black Leather on the other hand when it gets hot from the lights feels great. Python leather is too much! You will never finish a gig in python leather in any colour. In Python leather my guitar would sustain so much I couldn't play the next note ! Sounded cool though.
