Christie is great to deal with! We did a huge group buy with her back in the early days of the OLF. |

We've purchased hundreds of bone blanks from Christie and are always pleased with our purchase in all respects. |

If you want something special and we have at times it can take a month since it has to come from China. Note: I've purchased bone blanks from every reputable supplier that services US clients. It's normal to receive saddle blanks where some of them may have a slight warp to them. Again, no matter who's stuff I purchase a small percentage may be this way. So expect it, it goes with the territory and we simply purchase wider than what we will likely use and then mill the extra thickness off on the belt sander which trues up the blank too. |

Thanks Hesh. I knew she was highly regarded but didn't know she kept inventory - I thought everything was made to order. |

And here I thought Christie was sending me compensated saddle blanks. Mike Franks www.mjfranksguitars.com www.facebook.com/mjfranksguitars |
