*To all my wonderful clients of the past, and those I haven't met yet, I want to update my current situation for you all. I am coming back from a fairly scary health issue, and I am forced to take it easy for a while. I work solo over here, so when I am out of commission the entire operation shuts down, and that is not something I want to happen again!
The upshot is, I have decided not to take any custom orders for the time being. All my regular listings are available on a build-to -order basis. I ask for your patience, as it may take up to a week for me to get your order built and shipped out to you. I promise to uphold the highest standards of quality you have come to expect, and that I feel you deserve whether you are a long-time friend or a brand-new customer. Thank you for your patience and understanding.
It is absolutely my pleasure and joy to share my passion for fine guitars with the good people on Reverb! As I live in a pretty isolated part of the world, I've been thrilled to find this community of guitar and music lovers here on-line. I'm of the generation that didn't have this luxury growing up, and I am so grateful to have access to it now. I'd love the opportunity to talk with you and help you create your custom guitar circuit.
I love to talk guitars, so give me a shout. Rock on!
I've been so pleased and encouraged by the wonderful feedback I have received! My heart-felt thanks go out to each one of you who have taken the time to leave comments regarding my products and services. I'd like to share a few of them now...
