Thanks for a file Capnl John,
I play guitar but have no glue about details of the guitar, this is good info for my library.
And, this a English link translates from your Dutch Website (w/ Google account, I guess):
http://translate.google.com/translate?h ... land.nl%2F.
If it doesn't work, try to follow this link under(pic)
Thanks,
Uncle Hai
