And photographic proof that competitors can be friendly. ;)

"Ellis Seal Guitars" or even "Barking Seal Guitars"...kinda has a ring to it. If Rainsong uses a shark, could a seal be just as cool if done right?:D

My salute to these CF trailblazers. Hope they continue to thrive and stay in the instrument making world.
