Unreal!!
WHAT A YEAR! Well now my server accidentally deleted my ENTIRE web site with NO back-up. Melobar.com had hundreds of hours in it--all gone--like the wood shop fire. It's unreal!
Casey McMullen is jumping on re-building it, but it's going to be a couple of weeks at best. I'm having to work in Bolins shop every chance I get on the new Lap steel jigs and on the Melobro process, I do have a new shop for the Fiberglass finally, and a guy dedicated to that process. But I am not around the office much or have much time for the web work. So if you can't reach me - I'm still alive and just trying to get everything rebuilt for this fall.
Definitly Melobar is going to be a rebuilt company after all this.

Oh boy, what a mess. I ususally have ongoing problems with my website and fortunately because I have had so many problems I back up all my web files so if it did completley disappear I could bring it back up.
I would be hurting if my site went down for long thats where most of my pickup work comes from.
Good luck with it and I hope its running soon.

I'm glad to hear you're OK! Good to see you're
limiting access to your time. I know I was probably one of the worst offenders bugging you about when my Melobro would be ready...case of uncontrollable enthusiasm...
but I admit abusive of your generosity of
time on the phone and email. I've seen the light on this.
I hear lots of compliments on playaing the Melobro and the 8 string lap. As many compliments on the Midnight Navy Silver Flake
on the bro. peace to you, Dave Stehman

Hi David, Very glad you're happy with your Melobro, actually,,,you were not that bad compared to some that were down right scary! I just had a guy last month call me 14 times in 9 days - back to "unreal".
I know you like the sound of your HULA but if you get some time--and I get some time--I'd like to install the wood baffles in that guitar, I have Bob Holders GN-I and Gordon Blacks original Raybay Left-handed in here waiting for baffle installation. I'm so sold on the sound that I want them in all our old Melobros.

Hmmm, I thought I had Gordon's original Raybay (that was converted to right-hand for me).<SMALL>I have Bob Holders GN-I and Gordon Blacks original Raybay Left-handed in here waiting for baffle installation. I'm so sold on the sound that I want them in all our old Melobros.</SMALL>
At any rate, one day I'd like to get the baffles in mine as well, Ted. No rush on my part, though -- I was kinda hoping that you'd make some progress on that acoustic pickup for the Melobro's and I could get that done at the same time. How's that going?
Knowing my luck, you'll want me to send that Melobro back today -- I just threw away the box it shipped in a week or so ago. Got tired of looking at it, and figured it'd be another year or so before I'd be sending mine back.
Hope all is going well (as well as it can be given the fire, etc). Let me know when a convenient time for you is to install those baffles. As I said, I'm not in any particular rush - but I'd like to get it done someday.
