Jon,

It's been a pleasure dealing with you and Sharon, and I'm honored to have purchased one of the last guitars sold by you. Thank you for taking the time to answer my questions regarding the 000-18 Custom I just purchased - can't wait to receive it. Enjoy your retirement and congratulations.

Jon, here is my retirement advice: there are two important milestones after you retire, the day you enter retirement and the day you enter the cemetery. This means that you really need to make sure you really enjoy every day between those two points and don't let residual business issues, time wasting distractions or annoying people rob you of any of it. You deserve the time on your own you have earned and you should make the most of it.

I Will miss you guys so much!

Dear Jon and Sharon,
I just found out you are retiring, hadn't seen this post! I'm so happy for you and your family that you have decided to enjoy some rest and to spend time with family and friends. Thank you for all the great years of bringing guitar joy into my life.
