Above you see my vintage LJ Peretti.
Circled in red is where there is a small hole or tear from the draft hole in the stem, I guess I've run one too many bristled cleaners through it.
You can also see the draft hole, the arrows point it out. The thing has just seen too much use.
So, ideally, I'd like to get a new stem custom made to fit.
I know Tim West could do it. Is he the only game in town for custom stems? I know he's got to be real busy.
