I heard from Jeanne yesterday that your Hoffee case is supposed to be ready in "about another week" so there's that...
(My case is due two weeks after that.) |

Sadly not a new Franklin--it's my OM from 2004. I got it earlier this year, but it came in a real cheapo case so I reached out to Nick and Jeanne to see about getting a proper case. Something with better deflection, but also superior climate control. And that led to me ordering one with a custom paint job haha |

Slight thread derailment deleted, but I can’t wait to see the final product!

It actually wasn't even a TKL, but some random brand called Golden Gate that sells for $79.99 new on MF. Just wasn't going to cut it for the dry winters where I am. So I saved up some more money and contacted Franklin Guitars. Thanks for the tip on the dimensions. I just measured: 4-1/8" at the end graft. Maybe you're thinking of a different guitar? This one conforms to standard OM specs, with the typical Franklin upper bout of 11.5". (Sorry to derail your thread, Martin!) |

In the meantime, to sustain my resolve, a quote from Søren Kierkegaard : “Most men pursue pleasure with such breathless haste that they hurry past it.” Also, I have my Franklin Dread to play, so there's that... |

At 8am Eastern time,(so 5am in Portland) Nick sent me a text and a photo:
"I don't have any new guitar strings. I'm gonna get some today, otherwise it's done. "The guitar sounds just like it did before I painted it. Although I only had a half dead set of strings. "I guess I'll have it for this weekend and that's bye-bye. I'm going to miss it. "I'm still at work, I' leaving right now though." |
