Re: Klein questions for klein, and guitar players

[Will Brake <wbrake@home.com>]

Jeremiah,

Sounds like grey business if you ask me! Rosewood sounds different than
maple or a composite. Same with basswood vs. Korina, the sound is very
different. Adding a trem should run the price of the trem plus labor.
Labor should not be any higher that $200 for such a task. $1300 to add a
transtrem is a person jerking your chain, and hoping for a sucker on the
line...

Be Well
