Finally, John Gruber brought a correction to our attention regarding the review of the PRS SE Singlecut in the April issue. The original review listed the fretboard radius as 9.5 inches but it is actually 10 inches (the PRS standard). Also, the original review stated intonation was non-adjustable however the bridge does offer two set screws to adjust the overall angle of the bridge. Thanks John!

A few years ago, a friend very enthusiastically said, "you've got to hear this man" and proceeded to play me a country version of ZZ Top's Sharp Dressed Man. The mid song solo and ending trading lick section were incredible. I had all but written off country music at that time...I didn't know what I'd been missing! Since then I've been a big fan of Brad Paisley.

Happy Birthday Mr Paisley, 36 years young today. Looking forward to the November 4th release of Play...
