Hey Mikey,
You left the new strings in the D-40 I had shipped for ya!
Been a bit MIA, apologies.
Hope you are loving it. Neal sent me a good one, but between the D-40 and the hog Orph I'm in hog heaven already, (btw, Tx knows of what he speaks, my Orph came from him).
I did unpack the D-40 last night and played for a bit, (tough to place on the knee....that is where I got whacked by the evil chainsaw) and even with the strings from last fall my wife chimed in from the other room saying how nice it sounded.
I think the only thing I would do different if I were, (was) Guild with the Standard series is add open gear tuners like these....for aesthetics only, no issue with the current ones.

Enjoy and thanks again for putting up with me.
