Thanks for the positive reply, it's not like I'm expecting an instrument that Paul O'dette would record with, or other top players, just a beginner instrument that is easy to play, no fancy woods, or rosette or even the varnish, just something to protect it from moisture. I've tried getting Mr.Brown on the phone, his wife picks up and gives me the shop number, I call that and he doesn't answer, and she has no idea what his wait list is either. I may just give up on it and continue playing guitar.
