I can't post much in the days to come, But I wanted to let every one know I'm In Oregon on holiday for a week. And I'm going up to Mollala to the Sierria factory on Tuesday to have two more knee levers installed on my Sierra Artist. I am very excited, and I'll let you guys know how it went when I can.

Well I finnaly made it to northern Oregon on Tuesday night. The next morning I drove to Molalla and met Tom Baker. He works in a shop behind his house. Don Chrisianson also stopped by later,He comes in from time to time to program the C and C machines.
Tom showed me around the shop, and then started working on my Artist. He took a lot of extra time to explain different things to me and answer the many questions that I asked. In fact, what should have been a half-hour job took about two hours.
And I'm glad it did , because Tom also
worked out all the little kinks that have been in my guitar beacuse of dumb things I've tried to do to it through the years, and/or lack of proper maintenence on my part.
I want to let everyone know that Tom really went the extra mile for me. I'm not a famous guitarist, I'm not even any good, but I was treated like I was at Seirra Steel Guitars. Not only did Tom do a great job adding two knee levers to my guitar, He also reset all the pulls and timings back to factory specifications, And made many adjustments that made my Artist like brand new again.
