Hey Gary,
I think I like the purple one. Is there an email address? I looked on the site, but didn't see one. Duncan[This message was edited by Duncan Hodge on 20 June 2004 at 04:35 PM.]

I should have my Desert Rose any day. Can't wait...

Chuck is a super nice guy...

I should also add:

I wanted his top of the line guitar, with an obnoxious color. He had several orders ahead of me and I was going to have to wait a bit...

Here is the neat thing, you can puchase one of his student models and he will give you 100% trade in on a pro model if you trade in within 1 year. How can you beat that?

Anyone who gets a new Desert Rose pedal steel, please send pictures to me to post on the House of Wood. These look like real nice instruments and I'd like to include them with all the other fine wood instruments in the House of Wood.

Remember, if it ain't wood, it's always something.

Hey Stephen, When I get mine I will send photos of it to you, and I think Gary Phillips will send a picture of his too.

Hey Stingray, all I can say is better place your order in for one before price goes up due to demand, a wood guitar is very hard to get at these prices, and it is aged wood which gives good excellent tone. steveb.

Gary...
I was down to see Chuck today, and he was putting the rods in your guitar. What a beautiful piece of tiger stripe in your guitar. I have to say that one has to be the prettiest guitar in his shop. It is GORGEOUS!!! I know you are gonna love it.
