Though I've been through the "custom built wait" three times before, one thing remains consistant..........the last week is murder.

I've only played one Petros and that was about 15 years ago. Out of the 20 or so guitars I played that day before ultimately purchasing a Larrivee C-10, the Petros seemed like it was alive.Had I only known then what I know now......
Oh well, you're getting an awesome guitar of a lifetime so enjoy!

Guess what? Fedex just delivered your guitar here in OK!! I guess Bruce must have gotten the addresses mixed up because of the tshirt thing.

I'll make sure it plays ok and then bring it over... just a short drive....















ok, so it's still April and I figured that I'm still under the April 1 exclusion from telling some stretched truth without suffering the consequences...

Waiting with bated breath (not to say "baited breath") along with you...

My Petros shipped yesterday, and arrived at my home at 7:20 this morning. My fingers are tender, my smile is big, and my lust is satisfied.
Unfortunately, we are building out our new studio and my camera gear is down there. Pics by tomorrow for sure.

And, as I said, I'm insanely jealous.....

There is some vicarious pleasure though.

You are one lucky dude....
