Any word from Cedar Creek?????

Is there any way for me to contribute-materials,donation for help with ship-around costs- anything?

Yes Mike, I was talking with Woolson earlier and I plan to run this by our chief Michael Payne too. For about $25 a pop we've got to ship this guitar around to numerous folks. So I see multiple opportunities.

If you want to PayPal Paul Woolson $25 you can get this ball rolling. I'll PM you his email Paypal address.

Thanks for asking, Bruce
