Good to hear, Ron.

But I thought you already had to be nuts to hang out with us :lol: :lol:

Ya, just start out with some lighter work and keep the guitar under 15 pounds :mrgreen:

Little update
Hi Guys
doing alot better these days , arms getting back to were I can get back into the shop...IT WAS A costy thing, I had to sell my porsche and harpguitar
just to keep my head up and bills payed...yes I sold this harp guitar on ebay..and the new owner love her..here what he said......A class act! The workmanship is incredible! Perfect transaction!...and email....Ron-

I just got it. Wow! You did an incredible job on this harp guitar. It sounds incredible and plays very well.

Question - does it have a steel bar in the neck?

I love the neck profile - its chunky, but not too much so. This guitar is very balanced in string volume, but it projects very well.

I will treasure this.

and jason said he have utube videos and ill post them when I get them.

(guess I need to get back in the shop............

Glad to hear you're back in the saddle Ron. There's always more cars and guitars once the household is back on it's feet and going again. And congrat's on a happy HG owner sending such kind words about your work. Can't wait to see what you come up with next! :mrgreen:
