Tim has the benefit of having a great partner and grown kids too though. IIRC there's no Merlot though. Tim's only vice seems to be having quite an upscale collection of tonewoods, whose aromas are just as intoxicating.

Go with Pinot Noir...more complex and will better prepare you for the wonderful tone from your new guitar...

Actually Tim has only been on the course a few times this year. We have have been very busy building guitars.

We are getting more orders from "McKnight Threepeats." What's a McKnight Threepeat? A McKnight Threepeat is a McKnight guitar customer who just ordered his third McKnight Guitar.

Repeat customers are always welcome.

These are customers who both know what they like and like what they know - very discerning people!

I would think that from this thread, guitar shows, word of mouth, referrals, and this new model, you're bound to get McPeats and McRepeats too!

Well we actually have another vice albeit a healthy and relaxing one:







We try to get out for an hour or so as often as we can. Its our special "date" time where we can get away from the shop, telephones, internet, civilization and just smell some fresh air at a much slower pace than we are usually accustomed to.

Gee, Tim, I thought golf was your vice. Biking ain't bad though. I try to get out on the trails around here every so often, but it can be a bit hilly and congested. I'll have to bring my bicycle to the next McJam. The greater Morral area looks like a nice place to ride - nice and flat!

Stuff is all in the wrong places with that! Do you lay on your belly and steer with your feet?

Come to think of it, it does look like something out of a Dr. Seuss book!
