Hi Jdbassplayer,

Thanks for quick reply-I was able to turn all the screws except one rod (throat G#), so that is not a problem.

I am not sure if anyone sells the "R13 spring kit", but my friend wants it to be fixed, and I think I can do the springs and the pads.

Just not sure how to start the wood cleaning.
