@flaggerphil -- Did you go to Fazio's, or somewhere else? Kinda curious where I can go (in town) to take a look at one.
My spruce-top Mini has a Colosi vintage bone saddle and vintage bone pin set installed, so I'm not convinced I'd have a fair A/B comparison with mine (and trying to compare to a stock spruce-top), but I'd still like to try it! :-)
Congrats -- can't wait to hear one these Triple-M's!
