Oh, I forgot to mention another gaffe of mine... getting confused as to which way the tuning machines wound the strings, and putting the G B and E strings wound backwards!!! I actually played it that way for a while, then got brave enough to take 'em off and put 'em back on the correct way... something about turning the guitar around while changing the strings, having the treble bout facing me, that got me mixed up!
Again, this was 4 decades ago or so... but I still remember to pay attention when I'm winding/unwinding my strings, everytime!
