Hey, Billy, I'll just jump in and mention that Jim pointed me to a guitar he knew I was looking for at no benefit to himself, (maybe other than making a pal for life!) I never forget that kind of thoughtfulness.

I got my MSA Studio Pro through Jim's shop and he gave me at least 500 bucks worth of free advice. Great shop, great guy...

Bought some MSA parts from Jim recently. I got photos of all the parts I needed from Jim. When He and I were happy that the parts were the right ones, he then mailed them to me. Class act.....
Pity you couldent come over with JD

Jip, Jim helped me out also.

I got the dispatch notice even before I paid.

I know local boy Sez was also satisfied.

I'm going to be doing a festival in Vista, this week, guess I should stop by and check out some steels.
I'm actually looking for an 8-string non-pedal right now.

Hi Ted,

Yes I visited Sez the very next day they arrived back in South Africa. He was doing well in spite of the jet lag.

He brought me a some small goodies like strings and fingerpicks.

Thanks,

Enjoy the games.
