Anyone who is looking to build one for the first time, I say read up on it, get a background about what its all about, but DO NOT follow any single persons suggestion on spacing! The best way is to test the actual blank and guides before you lock int he spacing. On occasion, the same model rod blanks will vary as far as spacing.
Each blank will have that sweet spot where the transition becomes almost natural and will make a huge difference! Good luck on the new build! Like I said, they do make a difference for some things.

Posts like this was the deal maker for me..I'd been thinking about an acid wrap since last November...had three or four builders in mind, but when I read a previous post on this site by JC, that made up my mind and I'm glad I did...
I'm guessing other builders are as good as Tom & Tony but putting that info out there in print was the game maker for me...thanks again, guys
