I'm glad you like it, after the jam session, how about posting a full report.

You guys'll love this.

Tuesday night I was staying at a hotel outside Newark Delaware. The next morning I went out to my brand new station wagon (yea, I drive a family truckster) before breakfast to put my suitcase and laptop in it, and the left rear window was smashed. It was fine earlier that morning when I put my new Agile DC and my Electar tube10 in the car.

Missing was....................................




my precious Brother P-Touch. Retail value $28.50.

My guitar, amp, CD's, gas credit card, and everything else was untouched. I asked to speak to hotel security, they said, "what security"?

Marriott got a nasty-gram from me then next morning.

I have a brand new window now.

Fretless...... - Well that was just something fun I did, actually as a result of some requests.

Gold Top - We had previously, but it was a poor seller. I will bring back again, as people have started asking... It will take some time as there is quite a bit of “lag” from when I order to when I receive. Hopefully we will have by mid year. I should have an SX gold top in a week or two.

Thin and Tinny. Actually comments like this are more useful then "love the guitar" . Since now I have something to do. (ie improve the guitar). We plan on offering an upgraded alnico pickup latter this year, both as an upgrade and, as something that we will sell separately (if an existing customer wants to change what they already have). Of course I imagine many people will want to put their own pickups in anyway, so we will keep the current lower priced pickup in the bass model

Kurt,

I'm talking about the acoustic sound of en acoustic / electric guitar here. For all I know it may be a great acoustic/electric but IMO it should still have a decent acoustic sound.

It's good to hear that you're listening to our comments.

Hey Bob!

Maybe you and i should buy all the brother Ptouch things we can find! There is gonna be a rush on them if kids are stealing them!

LOL. I just bought another. All the stores are out of them, I found one at the 3rd store I looked at.

[freckmoto]

My want for one of these amazingly nice cheap guitars is immeasureable. I'll have to find a way to swing this when my 17th bday comes in February. I just got my first guitar back in October, now to make my parents/relatives understand why I could possibly want another heh.

Kurt,

Wasn't that thin and tinny in reference to one of your acoustic/electrics? Aren't those piezo and preamped?

Any chance of you sticking gold hardware on that Red Flamed LP2000?

Are the LP2000s and DC necks mahogany or maple? Your website says maple but the pics I've seen look like no maple I've ever seen before.

Thanks,
Potential... likely customer.

I'm super bummed, because it looks sweet as hell. And I like the feel of it, except for the wood sticking out where it's cracked of course. Kurt seems to have a generous exchange policy, will refund my return shipping if I read the website correctly. The box wasn't beat or anything either. I guess it'll be another couple of weeks

That stinks. I checked like 10 of these and not a single one had a defect like this. I'm sure that they'll stand behind this instrument. It's just too bad you have to wait.

Hey Bob,

Did you try out that blue quilt LP? If so, what were your thoughts on it? I have been thinking about getting one of those for a couple weeks now....Also, you didn't happen to see any explorers, did you?

[Sinth]

Got my Amber Quilt LP-2000 2 days ago. Wow...I'm more impressed with this guitar than I have been with any other in quite some time. And the website is right, the pictures don't do the finish any justice at all. It has to be seen to be believed.

[Sinner]

Bob or anybody who has one - was yours tuned up when you got it and do you live in a cold climate? It's been hovering around zero to 10 degrees here and I just wonder if that had anything to do with mine being cracked. Mine was about a half step down tuning when I got it. {Of course the neck cracking could've done some of that.} I don't think that's the reason because i shipped a guitar to Canada once and I left it tuned up, but it had a floating trem. What do you guys think or how was yours?

[PrimeMover]

Yea, the string tension was up when I got mine...it wasn't zero degrees, but it was shipped to Wisconsin in December, so it wasn't warm...no problems.

[Sinth]

Mine was almost exactly a half step down as well. Temperature was probably around 45 farenheit.

Mine was tuned down about a full step. I've always felt that this was he safest way to store a guitar. Keep some tension but not full tension.

Also, it's been many years since a Mahogany piece could be farmed at over 13" wide, so even the Gibby's are at least 2 pieces.

Many guitars, like my Hamer Standard Customs, are made of one piece Honduras Mahogany bodies. And explorer shape is more then 13 inches across. The wood is available, if you want to pay the price.
