Kyle,could you explain the "rollers" at the nut,they appear to be 6 (high strings) of one type metal and the 6 (low Strings) made of another type metal. Just curious.Thanks

The rollers for the wound strings are stainless steel and the rollers for the plain strings are aluminum. In our opinion, it creates a slightly more balanced sound.

Wow, that thing is beautiful! If it plays as good as it looks, it's a keeper for sure.

Are you the Kyle Bennett of the "Kyle Bennett Band", or is there more than one of you out there in the Texas music scene?

Some Questions

Post by Mike Perlowin »

Can any guitar be retrofitted with the L frets? Or must they be installed at the time of construction? Do they require a new neck?

Some guitars have a 24" scale, and some have 24&1/4. Do you have different L fret setups for the different lengths?

Speaking personally, I am visually impaired, and don't see shapes well, but I see colors very well. (I colored some of the fret markings on my guitars.) Could you retrofit my millenniums with L-frets with Emmons style fret markers?
