Many of you may know Marc Durso, from the 13th Fret. Mark recently severely injured his arm in an accident and was without medical insurance. A small group of luthiers organized a collaborative effort and donated parts for a world class guitar kit that is being auctioned off on ebay right now. Here is the link: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=3780 406273&ssPageName=STRK:MESE:IT If you ever wanted to try your hand at building a guitar from a kit here is a great opportunity to own the finest kit ever amassed. Besides, it's also a great way to come to the aid of a talented guitar player who has hit a pot hole in the road of life. Thanks for looking… |

Not 1/2 as much as I appreciate you folks. I couldn't have pulled this off without the generous contributions and help from the greatest bunch of builders in the world, found right here on the OLF! Thanks again guys! |

Dave, let it go. There are some here (me) that consider SKB cases not only junk, but overpriced junk. But I don't want to go down that road. The case does not make the guitar. |

Paul, I was being a little sarcastic. Perhaps at the wrong time or on the wrong thread. For the record, I don't like or use SKB's for my guitars either. I have sold them with some electrics...but not mine. Just wanted to clarify...A good guitar deserves a good case. Also, your opinion of SKB's is most welcome...as it should be. |

Very well and good Dave. Sarcasm is usually good. I say "usually" because when used on a forum type situation where people can't see the expression on your face, it can be taken wrong. Coming from someone that doesn't know you personally, the other thread came across as you being a bully and picking on Bruce for the choices he makes. He's entitled to his opion as are you as am I. Everyone is here. Let's let it go at that. Best wishes, Paul |
