Donated....!

Mike Mantey · Post by **Mike Mantey** » 21 Feb 2012 3:57 pm

Mike, do I understand from your 2/16 post that an order for Jagwire strings serves the same purpose as the donations? If so, I've been waiting for an opportunity to order.

Danny can correct me if I'm wrong, but Yes. It is not a donation but an order. However, if everyone orders and prepays, then they would probably again be too far behind with all the back orders to get back into production as normal. However, I know Danny is keeping the money in the account until there is enough, if something should go wrong, then I do believe they would issue refunds.

This campaign is designed as a donation to help save our strings. Orders should go through Danny like normal and not use the donation button. For donations please use the buttons or send to them as a donation.

Mike. Your answers are correct in all aspects of this.

We're getting a little closer now, but still have a ways to go yet to make the mark. Although most of the donations have been small at this time, they are VERY MUCH appreciated, and every little bit helps to get us back up and running again. It's been a very rough road trying to get back up and running again, and that's putting it mildly, but we feel confident at this time that it will happen.

I can't begin to tell you how much we truly appreciate all the folks who have come to help rescue us in these absolutely horrific times, and you can all rest assured that you won't be forgotton.

A very special thanks to you Mike, and to the family at the Mullen guitar company. Without you, we probably would have never even had a chance of recovering.

God bless all of you.

I received my string order today. I'm hoping that Regina and Danny have made it through their rough times and the road they travel will be smooth from now on.
LOVE those Jagwire Paul Franklins!

I received my order from Jagwire yesterday. I'm glad they made it through the rough patch. I haven't met Danny but I hope to someday. Continued good luck and God bless.

Donation on the the way from Frank Harris US mail

I have had the opportunity to meet Danny and Regina and I can truly say that I have not met finer people in my life. Danny sold a guitar for me on consignment and refused to take anything for it. Well, now I have the opportunity to repay his kindness, and so the donation is on its way. And I will say to those who need to feel that they are receiving something for their money besides just the good feeling that comes from an act of kindness, I feel sorry for you and I hope that you will never be in the situation where you need assistance from others, because you may well not receive it.

I sent mine direct to Danny as a gift donation to be used to their best advantage when Mickey first posted the situation. I like my Tommy White Jags! Jack

I dont know what the big deal is..Cobra coils are a kick ass string.. I buy em from Seymores a dozen sets at a time.. They last and almost never require changer adjustments between set changes.. They are cheaper and never go out of stock.. Just my opinion folks.. Dont get all bent out a shape now..

Willis Vanderberg · Post by **Willis Vanderberg** » 27 Apr 2012 6:56 am

Hey JR:
Why don't you start a Cobra Coil thread and then all the pickers that love them can post their comments there.
I have used Cobras,GHS,SIT, and a lot of other brands. I will take Jags over any of the others.
I only been picken for sixty for sixty four years, so I still got a lot to learn..

Hey Mr. Willis:

I bet you only play old push pull Show Bud and Emmons guitars too. I used to play them too 50 years ago but I have an open mind and respected the opinions of others on ond off this forum enouigh to make a change to newer tecknology guitars.. Nothing wrong with push pulls and I repect the players who worship them.. but I chose a different path.. This forum is about people expressing their opinions .. I hope you recognize that..

Walter Glockler · Post by **Walter Glockler** » 27 Apr 2012 2:55 pm

I second that, JR.

JR Ross · Post by **JR Ross** » 27 Apr 2012 4:13 pm

Thanks Walter.. I'll have to look you up sometime since we are practically neighbors in the same state..I'll be playin in Taos NM at Shadows Bar June 15 .and July 7th
.Let me know if you are in the area..Rock on ..

Are jagwire strings available yet?

Richard Sinkler · Post by **Richard Sinkler** » 19 Jun 2012 7:50 am

I get the impression from reading posts here that they are, but maybe a little behind in deliveries.

My big question is whether the forum is going to sell them again. I switched from Jags to Live Steel Strings because of the inability to get Jags, but would gladly switch back if I can get them from the forum. I like to buy form the forum so the money can help support it.
