Earl;

I like the way you operate. You clearly know what you want and what you need, and you are going after it. I think hanging on to the Chimaera is a good move in a lot of ways. It will always be an interesting instrument to play. It is also a unique instrument, one that will most likely increase in value with time. I view Alistair much like I view Nathan Daniel. I wish I owned one of the early Danelectro guitars. I think you have a goody.
