Just wanted to say thanks for all those that helped with my questions regarding the construction of a 12 string. I remember Paul Woolson, Larry Presnall, Andy Zimmer and others that jumped right in and answered my questions.

Well, it shipped out this week and thanks to Paul's recommendation of registered priority mail, it made it to it's final destination unscathed. BTW, the folks at the P.O. were amazed that it was only $35.00 to ship it. Thanks Paul!

Then it was pins and needles for a couple of days to see if it made it and to see if my customer liked it. I got a call yesterday and he said it was the guitar of his dreams. What a relief! It arrived in tact and he liked it too!

Thanks agian guys for all your help!!!

Hey Bruce, good to see ya back!

You won't believe this but I forgot to take pics of the finished guitar. I was in such a hurry to get it ready to ship that I just totally forgot about the pics. And I got a nice Canon Digital Rebel camera for Christmas too!

Frank said he would send me a few pics as soon as he can get around to it. I'll post them as soon as I get them.

Dave, By the time you finish a guitar it is always hurry up and ship time when it's done.

We know the pressure and understand. Congratulations on a great instrument and by the comments from your client, it must be nice. What else would we expect, ay?
