quite a while ago there was a suggestion made that a canadian was soon going to be getting into finishing guitars for others. for those of you in the know, is there any update on that? any leads would be much appreciated.

I had mentioned Mike Collins was looking at it. I haven't been able to get in touch with him for a few weeks, so I'm a little worried about what's going on over there, but if you can get in touch with him he should be able to do a UV finish for you.

i tried to send an email yesterday and had it bounce back. on the web site there's not even an indication of where the business is located. tough to get a phone number that way.
bob, any other leads on how to get a hold of collins guitars?

He's in Keswick, actually. And I'll let you know if I figure anything out, I'm worried about him as well.

Hi Folks,

I am currently in the middle of finishing up my new shop(and new booth) and getting ready to get back in the swing of things. I have also corrected the contact info on my website. oops_sign
I may put phone contact info there as well as soon as I am ready to start taking instruments.
I am hoping to be operational in about three weeks.
Please contact me for pricing.
