Marraki,
I've enjoyed reading all the posts here.

This is the stuf that interests me the most. I am contemplating having an improved '06 based 375 built in the near future, something similar to a necked out Brown Whalen, and this all is timely, indeed! As my nerve damage in my right arm and hand gets worse, I'm leaning toward somewhat milder, but still effective alternatives to the heavier hitters.
