Well.... yesterday was my birthday, so of course it was a great day. My wife and I travelled down to Martin guitars, where 4 of their guys gave me their thoughts on one of my guitars.... Any feed back is good feed back, right? Well luckily they had nothing too bad to say. After that we went on the factory tour which was..... interesting. Then we headed up to Buffalo and stopped in at the Zoot Man's Zoot cave. Holy Moly! What an amazing selection... We really are blessed to have Bob as part of the forum... To top it all off, when I got home there was a package waiting for me from Shane of Highmountain. Another excellent source for all the OLFers... Ah... a day that will keep a smile on my face for quite a while!


Cheers,

   I went to buffalo last year. Very affordable. I can't convince the wife to move there away from the bendover bay. Would love to buy a house some day.

Richard It was a pleasure meeting you and your wife. I really enjoyed the visit. Hopefully you can take some good pic's of your Ziricote guitar and post some here. It's a beauty.
