Nice! Would love a set of ABW. First 15K commission I may pay the price.

Danny, ABW is way more affordable than that. I just got to be willing to work for a dollar per hour. I am. Keeps me in the Black.

Btw, thank u all. Everything, and I mean everything I know about guitar building was learned here. This kind of stuff doesn’t happen over night. So u new guys, hang in there and take the advice and criticisms. Stay calm. know when to walk away and know when to ask for advice. There are some amazing pros here. Figure it out. And, this is most important, accept failure. It’s ok, u learn from it.
