Outstanding craftsmanship Bob! And a really pretty guitar. Sounds like you have one happy customer too, and that is what it is all about.

Thanks Bart!   I really do appreciate all the compliments.

I'm looking forward to seeing you Sat. I'll have the pick-up in, and the pick guard on by the first part of next week.

btw... now that your registered with the OLF, I'm sure you'll be stickin' around to join the fun. This is the perfect place for someone who loves guitars as much as you do!

Long

Thanks much, Lance and Ken

This guitar making path we have chosen certainly has it share of struggle and strife, but the good parts are really special...

I too own a fine Long guitar. (Heck I thought everyone does ) If yours is anything like mine you are going to absolutely love it. Bob builds a very unique sounding guitar IMHO. Nicely balanced -- highs, mids and lows with a volume and projection I've not heard in other guitars. Builders aren't supposed to buy guitars (well that's what I thought) but I just had to have the Long after I heard it. The double bonus for me is now I have a great guitar to compare against stuff that I build.

Enjoy your new Long!!

Waddy, I don't know if anyone will record the Saturday gig. but Bart did mention doing some recording with the guitar sometime... I hope so.

Thanks again, Anthony! It really means a lot to me to know my guitar are so appreciated. The great support I've received from owners like you and Bart, and the members here on the forum are a real blessing.

Thanks Everyone!
