[WezV]

that may be the problem philly, full time jobs, new babies and a need to make guitars  do get in the way of other stuff!!

[MDV]

gonna say, its a dalbergia - so its a rosewood

And now I cant bloody well find where I read that!

Anyway, probably wrong. Matter not anyway....a rosewood by any other name is still as stiff and warm sounding. Or something like that. I sit corrected.

[Sifu Ben]

I think you probably got it confused with Bubinga.

[MDV]

Nope. Was definately brazillian rosewood.

AAAAAAH! It was SANTOS rosewood.

Stupid memory, making me lie to people :(

I could be wrong.

However from what I know, if you produce original instruments that are in demand. You have to deal with a constant flood of emails and people pestering you for their dream instrument, deals and all sorts. Sometimes creative skilled people decide, sod it I really don't need the aggro any more.

You are soooo right, I really could do with a secretary but where do you find one that knows how to make guitars! :?

First of all, a secretary SHALL  be at least 8 on 10 Beauty Scale :lol:

Then we go to the guitar knowledge... pretty much a FAQ and answers would help, but she would have to be a guitar player and minimal building knowledge at least to understand... If she can understand a table with woods AND graduation of figuring, other table for kind of construction (set, bolt, neck thru, etc) AND shape, probably could help on emails, but that all custom guitars (custom shape, woods, kind of build) would have to be answered by you, still...

If you ever find a girl like this, tell her I want her phone number :lol:

Noticed on one of my Ebay browses... The £850 one looks like a bargain.

Bling-free for an NSG, but as the workmanship and quality of materials would probably be of the same order ... so £850 (or "make me an offer") would be a very good price - IMHO.

I have an eBay search set-up for NSGs ... just in case  :)
