guess what?

Of course, if it really hurts, don't do it- or at least only do it a little bit at a time & see if it gets easier/more comfortable. My Stambaugh 6 was a bit uncomfortable for awhile- especially down at the first fret, but I got used to it(I had played a Ken Smith 6 before so I knew the 'problem' wasn't the # of strings). OTOH, what would you want for it? ;)
