Location: South of most, North of few | Just emailed John, and it looks as if my CL is on the UPS truck to be delivered today! They usually show after I get home from work, so I won't have any pics till later. I'm kind of glad the Mothership didn't let me know until now or I'd have been worried all last week. Now I'm only worried today :rolleyes: I'm sure they did the usual great job on the refinish and re fret that they usually do but the shipping is the crapshoot. The suspense is killing me!! :D ;) |

Location: South of most, North of few | Yup, been there several times before. Not a good feeling when you open the case and find a two piece top. Of course between the temp and getting kicked around on trucks, I'm surprised any on them make it. I really hate shipping guitars :mad: |

Jim you know we'll want pics. The guitar was great when I played at Christmas I'll bet it is really super now. nothing like a 12 fret slothead. :cool: :D |

and Mike, I'm in upside down on this one, I'll have to keep it. And,....thanks for the capo! It got here today. |

And once again, KUDOS to the factory team for doing a fantastic job! I can't say enough about their service! Now I have to go out to dinner, so I can't play with it till later.... :mad: |

Seriously, very nice indeed. Congrats. |

Location: South of most, North of few | Thanks guys, I can't begin to say how much I have been blessed. The guitars I have owned, my wife and son, and the OFC family. I have met a lot of really great people here and hope to meet quite a few more! |
