Beyond our Ken

In last month's article on Making the Most of Acoustic Guitar, Ken Dibble's original and highly detailed diagrams fell victim to the Christmas post with the result that our art department had to step into the breech at the last minute. Consequently, the diagrams that we printed could be misleading as they don't accurately convey what Ken had in mind and so he has kindly agreed to send further diagrams accompanying text which will be included in the next issue. Apologies.
