I just got an email from John Watkins stating that he's back in business...it's about time!

For those who may not have been on the email list, go to http://www.cncguitarparts.com

Welcome back, John...some of us will see you on Saturday at the Chicago Luthiers' Meeting!

Thanks, guys. It's good to be back. Orders have been coming in very steadily since the moment we opened the site, and some folks will even get their stuff already today.

Also, as a quick announcement, we have the John Mayes instructional videos now as well. They'll be on the site by noon today.

John

He has the full sets, as well as a couple others, but you'll be able to get every one of them ala carte soon...I just got to get him some...

Thanks for the notice, JJ.
Placed an order w/ John today, and I got the order yesterday!
Now that's service!

Actually, no one can boast service that intuitive, but John is a great guy to do business with, and quite accommodating.
Many thanks John!

Steve

I just found out that the contact page has not been working on the site. I'm working to fix it, but if anyone tried to contact me that way, I didn't get it. Please email me directly; john(at)cncguitarparts.com or call me, toll-free, at 866-726-1370. Thanks...

haha.. It's going well. I can't complain. You do anything long enough and not on your own terms it becomes a job, but as far as jobs go it's a good one.
