To me, another week to have it dialed in as much as possible before I get it is worth it...so it looks like it will be shipped (OMG, hope nothing happens), the week of the 25th.

There will of course be a review!!!!
As much pain as it is to wait, I think it is the better part of wisdom for Steve to keep it and let it adjust to "becoming a guitar" under his watchful eye. Great strategy and worth the wait!

Good plan. As painful as it may be ... in the long run you will be happy you waited. Last thing you want to do is ship back and forth if anything would happen. I'm happy for ya Tom. Beautiful guitar.

You might get great satisfaction out of just calling it "my Kinnaird SJ". Extremely nice instrument you've got there.

Really looking forward to the studio shots of this gorgeous guitar! Some have suggested a Southwestern flair, so how about naming her "Sedona"? Or maybe "Sunrise"? Whatever you call her, she's a beauty!!

Currently in Nashville, no shortage of music here, that is for sure. See some pretty nice guitars sitting in show cases as exhibits, all I can think of is it is a shame they are not out getting played. Saw a beautiful Martin tonight with gorgeous abalone inlays in the fretboard begging to be played!!! Instead it is in a glass case in a restaurant where 90% of the people just walk by.

Wonder what they would do if you asked to play it?

Are they guitars that belonged to specific artists?

Well, I believe life is getting in the way....both Steve and I were out of town last week and I think Steve just got in today, wants to make sure the set-up is still good and I had requested some recordings before he sent it out. Since I do not have your talent, I am relying on Steve for that lol!!! We have to talk about the shipping then...I did not want it being shipped over the weekend and with work schedules, etc. hard to figure out when it will come and where to send it....See what I mean, life is getting in the way.


PS Either that or Ryan got his wish and my check bounced!!!

Default Send it to Cali

If you're struggling with where to send it, I'll give you my work address, and he can just send it here! I'll take really good care of it until you can make it out to California! Let's see, what was that phrase I used before? Oh yeah, I'll get it good and broken in for you! LOL--hope it finds it's way to you soon...
