Just back (16/10/20) from Expert Stylus where it has had the following work carried out.
"Cleaning, servicing to include materials as necessary, remove
existing alloy cantilever, machining connecting abutment, bonding a low mass white sapphire - boron cantilever together with ultra low mass natural Paratrace profile diamond and auditioning."
It has not been played since this work was performed.
No guard but does come in Expert Stylus Packaging and includes bolts.
